Even times when you have up to 8-10 enemies on screen at once the game stays as smooth and flowing with no slow downs whatsoever.

While PlanetSide isn't a perfect experience, and will be in development for the life cycle of the product (as most decent online games tend to be), it is nonetheless and addictive, frantic and rewarding experience for gamers that enjoy action peppered with some "RPG lite" elements.

Hardcore Matrix fans will definitely love this game and find it everything they expected. For everyone else, ETM won't be anything more than an average game that seems too similar to many other titles already out there.

For those who do enjoy it, the multiplayer capabilities and random map generation provide literally endless replay value. The bottom line is that this is not a universal title, but the target group will be quite satisfied with the result.

Control is dead on accurate, but for those FPS junkies, you'll need to get used to yet another slightly different set-up.

It's fast, it's addicting, and it's got Live support. You simply cannot go wrong with this title, and this one is truly the best version.

Even after you unlock everything you will still be down to take on your friends with the multitude of things you acquired; such as throwback jerseys, courts, legends and street ballers.

This could be a good party game, but it shoots itself in the foot by only giving you a handful of arenas and four monsters to start with. Unfortunately, going through the monotonous Adventure Mode several times to unlock enough stages and monsters for a good variety is a daunting prospect.

If you like to look at other people who wear tight, tight and revealing (Did I say tight yet?) uniforms, then this game is for you because it is tightly revealing!

The difficulty level is pretty high, but it's not so much annoying as it is challenging.

The way a sequel should be: stuffed full of new features, better graphics, improved game play, and be so damn addicting that you can not put it down, even to go to the bathroom.

AKI has done a grand job of creating a game engine that (I hope) will evolve into the foundation for a formidable and robust franchise. This first iteration of the engine is great but there's room for improvement.

There's no denying that DJV is an awesome game with a lot of flash, charisma, style and action.

It has some has some life longevity to it - but considering its sharp-curved circuit designs, lack of additional game modes such as 'FreeStyle' or 'Stunt' mode which Babylon really could have taken advantage of, and its expected graphics, it is not a game that I will find myself looking forward to play frequently.

Why in heaven's name would you make the first game ("Capcom Vs SNK 2") have Live, and not this one? If Namco can toss Link into "Soul Caliber 2," the least Capcom could have done was tossed in Blanka.

After the unique visuals and fresh implementation of standard and advanced features, the most compelling reason to get your hands on Auto Modellista is for its online multiplayer racing capabilities.

Coming from the folks who developed the "Armored Core" series, I expected a lot more. The gameplay was not to my expectations, and the graphics do not take full advantage of the Xbox console.

It is utterly breath taking at times. Anime and video game fanatics unite! The start of a truly excellent series is here!

There are so many spoofs of classic martial arts characters and one-liners that I found myself laughing hysterically. Director Shao Ting seems to be filled with more stupid jokes then just about any character I've seen.

No matter how you look at it this game rocks. It offers the action-style of "Wind Waker" with light character & weapon building, world building and a handful of mini-games and quests that make it an RPG experience that PS2 owners shouldn't pass up.

Definitely something that is not for the faint-hearted. It can be a tough to keep your attention from wavering onto another game. Believe me; with all the other games being released now, it was a challenge. But if you stick with it, you will be pleasantly surprised.

While I am enjoying Road to Rome, I've a feeling that it will only live from now until the time Secret Weapons is released.

There's nothing like towering over a squad of infantry troops in a mech and obliterating them with a flick of your retro rockets rather then wasting ammo. I felt that was a nice touch.

It's not WWE and it's not NWA but it's the people who made those franchises possible. Though I wish Ric Flair was in here so we could have some of the bloody cage matches of yore.

No other title has ever gone so far in attempting to capture a realistic feel to mech combat, and Capcom would deserve acclaim for the attempt alone, even if it were not so well executed.

If you haven't played Marvel versus Capcom to death on the Dreamcast, or need to get in touch with your inner 2D child, you can't go wrong with either Marvel versus Capcom 2 or "Guilty Gear XX."

It's a fun game for anyone that likes a good dungeon crawl, while fans of the arcade original will count this title among the best classic game updates ever.

Easily THE Game of 2002 in my book.
