    Medal of Honor: Allied Assault
    [from PC Gamer UK]: This is the most realistic AI yet seen in a first-person shooter: enemies are utterly convincing in the acquisition of intelligent cover, the picking up of fixed gun posts from dead comrades and in the decisions they make to hang back and throw grenades and intelligently split and circle rather than hide on the spot or just come running.

    Star Wars: Starfighter
    Packs so much action and excitement into its story that it's easy to forget its flaws. [PC Format]

    Rez
    Unfortunately, beyond the artifice of the attractive environments and sound design there hides the kind of on-rails gameplay that might've been the bollocks 10 years ago but simply seems naive today.

    Star Wars: Obi-Wan
    The levels are barren, boring and repetitive, and the character animation is poor. [GamesMaster Magazine]
    • 92 Metascore

    Final Fantasy X
    Sequential software that labels itself next-gen should provide next-gen opportunities, not just exaggerate the mistakes it made on the last version. [Edge Magazine]

    NHL 2002
    You'll actually want to play by yourself to unlock a slew of easter eggs. [XGamer Magazine]

    Star Trek: Voyager Elite Force
    On every level, this is a game destined to appeal to the silent minority who simply can't get enough of the series. If you're a fan, then resistance will be futile. [PSM2]

    Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy
    If a game like "Devil May Cry"'s a double espresso, heavy on the sugar, then Jak and Daxter's a nice soothing cup of tea. One offers non-stop thrills, but is over almost before it starts; the other's everything you'd expect, and it won't get you especially worked up, but lasts much longer.

    Super Smash Bros. Melee
    It's a long way from the Tekkens of this world, with no complicated combos or tricky special moves to pull off, but under the surface there's a fighting game that requires almost as much skill in its own way, as any of the 'serious' martial arts sims - and is a lot more fun. [NGC]

    Pikmin
    Another dollop of glorious GameCube genius.

    SSX Tricky
    One of those games that you switch on intending to have a quick blast, then find yourself staring square-eyed at in the early hours.

    XGIII: Extreme G Racing
    You can't help but be quietly impressed by its speed, its stunning scenery, and its incredibly well-designed tracks.

    Return to Castle Wolfenstein
    An essential, and long-lived, purchase. This is one shooter that you're going to want to savour.

    Amped: Freestyle Snowboarding
    The interlocking level goals in the career mode ooze intelligent design. [Xgamer Magazine]

    IL-2 Sturmovik
    The quality and individuality of presently pilotable planes and the extraordinary variety of AI airpower should satisfy all but the most hard-hearted hangar habitues.

    Wario Land 4
    It's still the best original platformer on GBA, mind. Stitch that Mario! Waaaaaaa! [GamesMaster Magazine]

    Star Wars Rogue Leader: Rogue Squadron II
    Rogue Leader can be a little simplistic and the learning curve is insane - some levels are frighteningly difficult and unfair.

    Batman: Vengeance
    This is competent, if uninspired stuff that will no doubt please Bat-fans. [NGC]

    Super Monkey Ball
    Packed to the rafters with ticklish problem-solving, as you have to complete your goals and collect bananas. [GamesMaster Magazine]

    Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee
    While solving these puzzles is great fun, the crane work gets a bit repetitive and it's not the seamless platform adventure we'd hoped for.

    Halo: Combat Evolved
    An experience not to miss...Halo evolves first person combat to new highs. But it doesn't do anything shockingly new. [Xgamer Magazine]

    TransWorld Surf
    It doesn't offer the same free roaming play of "Tony Hawk's," nor does it offer the high speed thrills of "SSX Tricky," but it is fresh, original and damn good fun. [XGamer Magazine]

    Project Gotham Racing
    Obsession can easily set in with certain challenges. You might be able to see how you could earn the required amount of Kudos, but actually doing it is another matter. [Official UK Xbox Magazine]

    Dead or Alive 3
    It's fine, spectacular, stunning, in a thoroughly ordinary fashion. It thrills, but will leave those who've previously visited the series contented rather than elated.

    Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon
    AI has always been a bone of contention with these games, and Ghost Recon is no exception. Basically, you're playing 3D Lemmings - with guns.

    James Bond 007: Agent Under Fire
    [Games Radar Rating = Hit] Although it isn't as revolutionary as GoldenEye once was, the deft changes of pace mean it's undoubtedly the most Bond-like game ever. It might not leave you shaken, but it's certainly stirring.

    An incredibly addictive experience that will see you tying your fingers into great fangled knots of joy. Essential. [GamesMaster Magazine]

    Star Trek: Armada II
    It's highly likely that the relative lack of gaming sophistication will result in only a shortlived appeal for seasoned strategy heads.

    Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty
    A bit plot heavy, but that's a tiny criticism of one of the most inventive, ambitious and downright fun games to play, well, <I>ever</I>.[GamesMaster Magazine]

    Half-Life
    Now you're talking perfection... incredible graphics and first-person shooter action, with one of the best, most elaborately orchestrated videogame plots ever seen.
