    If you're looking for a great action game, with absolutely no thinking required go pick up Shinobi, right now. You won't be disappointed.

    If you own a Sega Genesis and only Sonic games, it may be time to trade them all in and buy this single disc; you will save space and come back with even more then what you left with.

    You can pick it up and play with barely any learning curve, and the multiplayer of the game gives it nearly infinite replay value.

    While the graphical presentation is more of the same in Vice City, the sound effects and music have been vastly improved.

    A no-brainer for fans of the genre. Those new to light-gun games will enjoy it too. However, for the longtime gamer who's tried of the genre, The House of the Dead III won't offer anything new to hook them.

    If you love the X-Men, fighting and tight fitting clothes on women, this game is for you. Then again, if you love the X-Men, fighting and tight fitting clothes on men, this game is also for you. I guess this game is for everyone thirteen or older.

    As a PS2 shooter it's the best I've ever played - I can't emphasize that point enough.

    It combines a sort of Tetris feel with a platform shooter that is good with kids. If it doesn't teach kids shapes and how to aim a controller, I am not sure what will.

    It oozes style and has enough heart n' soul to clearly illustrate how much the developers really loved their baby.

    Like the visuals, the sounds rock the house. Besides the incredibly great soundtrack, the sound effects are some of the best around.

    Other than some weak fighting action and extremely obscure objectives, it is a game worth playing.

    The only problem I noticed was a very rare slowdown caused by too many sprites on the screen. While it can be annoying when it happens, the occurrence is so sporadic that it's barely noticeable.

    It's an addictive romp into a time long past that keeps many gamers begging for more.
    • 67 Metascore

    A difficult to master user interface combined with gameplay that was already too difficult on the PC make for strange bedfellows.

    The clan managing system for contact between you and your friends is a new and very innovative feature that I can see a lot of online team based games incorporating in the future.
    • 92 Metascore

    A great, open-ended platforming playground with some amazing visual effects adapted to a slightly updated gameplay and art direction.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 46 Critic Score
    A combination of unreasonable learning curves, seemingly last-minute voiceovers and poor player gratification makes this title barely worth a rental.

    Despite the chaos you can create, everything happens at the same time for the same reasons. There will always be a cop car with its lights on at this corner; that boat will always be there at this time, etc.

    The game has a remarkably easy to use control setup, and the addition of a training mode right at the outset is a blessing for those new to the series.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    The only hitch the game has is a major pet peeve of mine. When you die, regardless of when you die in a level, you have to start it all over again, from scratch.

    On a final note, the menu looks amazing. I know it really doesn't matter that much, but it really does. And it's customize-able! And that's not a bad thing. It's a good thing.

    Spy Hunter has left me stunned, proving itself to be one of the most fun and addictive games to hit the Xbox.
    • 71 Metascore

    The real appeal of Spy Hunter comes from the gameplay and the controls. The handling is exquisite.

    As far as the graphics are concerned, PS2 owners can be both jealous and egotistic. The Game Cube version features a hell of a lot less jaggies, as well as smoother looking characters, but there's some weird slowdown in a cinema or two, and the movies look a bit lower in quality.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    A complete and pleasant surprise for me. It's not a thinking-man's game, but mindless fun has its appeal. The multiplayer aspect is good, too.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    I'm usually one to skip the cut scenes and get on with the game, but the cinema fits perfectly with the gameplay, balancing out story and action, making one just as enjoyable as the other.

    The huge sprawling and very heavily detailed levels (which does lead to a loading issue that many people have been having) and a very ''Disney'' look accomplishes better graphics than any game that uses cel-shading.
    • 93 Metascore

    In the Xbox's version, everything is silky smooth, while the PS2's is marred by jaggies...Aside from the annoying Xbox controller..., this is the version of the game to have for any true Tony Hawk fan.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 89 Critic Score
    What truly set this game apart from the rest was its sense of actually being in another world.

    The crowd doesn't just scream the entire game, it cheers louder when the home team is winning on on a run and less if they are not.
