    With slightly below average graphics loaded with jaggies, to the horrible carnival-like music this game is as hard to look at as it is to listen to.

    Superb graphics and tons of game play make this title more than worthy of a rental at the very least.

    With the large amount of areas Pipe Dreams 3D has plenty of gamelife, plus the game does get truly addictive after the first few times.

    Boring (and maddeningly uninspired) techno music nips at your ears as you move through insanely limited and basic design elements to the car, and then race in a game that looks like someone finally figured out the hi-resolution mode on the Nintendo 64.

    So good I have no idea where to start. The graphics? Superb. The music/sounds? Perfect. Is it fun? Hell yes...To be quite honest, this is the most interesting and fun game I have ever played.

    The perfect game for people who like the "Resident Evil" look and feel, but find the slow moving story and action to be a little boring and tedious.

    The game itself just needs more depth; they should have put the Thunder Cards in like the PlayStation version.
    • 65 Metascore

    Every component of this game is either mediocre or bad. Consequently, if you were to ask me what I thought of Thunder Strike, I would say that it sucks.

    A little "Tony Hawk," a little "SF Rush 2049," and a lot of "Wipeout" mixed together perfectly to form one of the best racers in a while.

    If you started your Castlevania trip on the Super NES or PSX then this will be a bit of a history lesson, rather than a 'must-have' purchase.

    Targeted for kids and is not an extremely difficult game, but it does have a lot of levels to master which does give it a longer gamelife.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    Superb graphics, great sound and unbeatable realism. There's not much more you can ask for in a racing game period.

    Steering becomes a problem even in analog. The least little movement of the analog stick jerks the car to the side.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 54 Critic Score
    With the control totally screwed, graphics, sound, and other bells and whistles don't matter.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    The best parts of this game are its controls and all of the added crap they threw in there.

    If 2D fighters are ever a crime, I'll heartily plead Guilty.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The sound was not exactly great but they were all customizable right down to the amount noise the engines made.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 54 Critic Score
    While the gameplay is refreshingly unique (albeit confusing at first), the game itself is terribly short.

    Some kid games are fun for adults, Backyard Soccer is not one of those games but it is very well done game for younger kids.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Oddly enough, the game could be considered the kid's version of "Metal Gear Solid." Replace the soldiers with Sam, and the weapons with blow dryers and lettuce heads and you get the idea.

    The clipping is absolutely horrible, particularly with the fish.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 54 Critic Score
    Despite its initial luster, it becomes tedious rather quickly.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 96 Critic Score
    Things like reducing the on-screen fog, the chance to pick up a chainsaw as a weapon and multiple endings really make it a lot of fun to go through a few times.
    • 92 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    Simply incredible.

    There are so many things within NHL Hitz 20-02 to unlock and challenge you the game play is unmatched in any hockey game thus far.

    Spy Hunter has left me stunned, proving itself to be one of the most fun and addictive games to hit the PS2.
    • 73 Metascore

    I hate Formula One 2001 because it has bland graphics, bland sounds, and its not even close to fun.

    Freaking Phenomenal...the closest thing to perfection yet.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A bad, bad game. It's a quiz show format that can't work as a game, but was made anyways.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Superb graphics, challenging puzzles, morbid acts, and eerie noises will have you playing until the wee hours of the morning.
