    The animation is fantastic especially considering this is a port coming off the decade old Neo Geo hardware.

    Finally, finally, FINALLY: someone got it right. Infogrames has produced one of the greatest 'Classic' discs in a long time.

    The players look amazingly real with fluid human like movement. The close up celebration scenes are terrific and mimic actual celebrations in the real game.

    The instruction manual could read, "Press the Gas Button," and just about all the bases would be covered. I'm not kidding here. One button, no turning, race over.

    The down side is that the commentary has seemed to change from endless conversation and good jokes to dry, corny play by play.

    The music selection kicks ass. No Doubt, Powerman 5000, Orbital, Crystal Method, and more. The sound effects also kick much but. Control is dead on.

    F1 2001 has superb graphics, great sound and unbeatable realism. There's not much more you can ask for in a racing game period.

    I almost had a brain hernia trying to rationalize why there wasn't an Atari 2600 controller in my hand. Sure, we have the JUMP BUTTON and a frigging BLOCK BUTTON, but why is there only ONE ATTACK BUTTON?!

    Lots of real life mountains, different drop points and huge, realistic environments are this game's strongest points.

    It's not great, but it's solid. The insane Create A Superstar mode alone is worth the purchase, but WWF fans will find plenty of other features to enjoy.

    Something just short of eye bleeding disaster...Let this frog drown.

    The controls and general feel of the game are very shallow. At no point did I feel like I was in a truly 3D environment, and I never felt like I was actually cruising around in space.

    The sound effects, music, and voiceovers are near perfect. All of the voiceovers in Batman Vengeance are provided by the same actors who perform them in the cartoon series.

    The gameplay is great in short bursts (which is why it worked so well in the arcade) but if you play for more than a few hours it gets extremely repetitive.

    The Game Cube controller, while receiving some criticism when it was first announced, provides perfect button usage with WR.

    It gets a bit repetitive after the halfway point, and then it ends quickly after that. There's no real replay value to it once you have amassed everything.

    ASB shines in every aspect, from its detailed, lifelike graphics to the in-depth stat tracking. All of the character animations are silky smooth.

    SMB is unique, fun and, most importantly, as playable every day as it was the day you bought it.

    Next-gen games notwithstanding, HP's graphics are well below average. The textures are of the absolutely flat, glued-to-the-wall variety, there's tons of pixilation, and everything is generally ugly.

    Huge lands, lots of moving characters, and plenty of special effects all show off just what the X-box is capable of.

    It's a standard hold-down-the-gas-and-steer racer, with nary a drop of strategy or driving savvy. It's boredom in a can... er, CD.

    For starters, there's the brilliant notion that you need no skill to play the game, nor do you technically even need to steer the on-screen graphic. Just tape down the gas button and let the game decide for you, since 99% of the track is just a straight line and you can't turn around.

    A very nice looking game that sports huge waves, great water effects and the surf girls that bring you back to the wave.

    With the reload option assigned to the bottom button, you can constantly reload as you shoot without moving the gun from the screen. This adds a whole new level of sweetness to the boss battles.

    Heck, even the character select screen looks boring. When you get to the game, the drab color selection and lack of anything truly new will bore you to tears.

    New sounds, better quality, more levels, a park editor that lets you do everything but make you the King of England. The best part is the movies and the near DVD quality presentation they show.

    The problem here is that the levels are either two small, or laid out in ways that are counter-intuitive. There's also the problem of challenge.

    • 71 Critic Score
    It works in an amateurish sort of way, and it makes for a fun, yet thoroughly unimpressive title.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A solid game, especially for a launch title. There's lots of interesting gameplay, hidden missions and a ton of planes to unlock.

    Is it the best fighter ever? No, but hey, it's light years better than "Tekken Tag" and a hell of a lot more fun than "Virtua Fighter 3."
