People without a passion for shooting fake guns at their television sets probably won't find much to like.

It's a just passably competent old-school shooter that sets its sights pretty low and then manages to hit that mark.

Legion isn't so much a bad game as it is a rather dull one that doesn't quite know what it wants to be.

The most significant addition to this version of the game is a career mode that lets you create your own fighter, which adds plenty of stand-alone value to the sort of game that's previously been best suited to two players.

An engaging and addictive game.

Fans of traditional adventure games will enjoy the puzzles and will likely be able to bear with the awful voice acting and the underdeveloped story.

Short and doesn't look like much, but it's an unusual game that can be a lot of fun.

This port has a host of new problems that render the game virtually unplayable.

A solid, if somewhat simplistic, tennis game that uses a real-world license in an original and refreshing manner.

Tries its best to be the next Punch-Out!!, but it falls well short of the mark.

The game itself, largely due to control issues, is very, very bad.

A fun adventure game with a decent collecting aspect and a few fun minigames. But compared with meatier strategy RPGs, like Pokémon or Robopon 2, it is difficult to imagine the game keeping anyone's interest over the long term.

While the game is certainly impressive on a technical level, some elements of its graphical presentation seem somewhat primitive when viewed against current standards.

In trying to walk the line between being a virtual-life game and a business management game, Big Biz Tycoon limits itself to mediocrity.

It's visually impressive and aurally incredible, and it essentially is a superb entry in the shooter genre.

While it seems pretty clear that some parts of the game were rushed to get it onto store shelves in time for the movie's release, The Sum of All Fears is still a solid team-based shooter that's surprisingly accessible, even for new players.

The problem is that it's far too arcadelike for its own good, and it really only lends itself to short amounts of time spent playing.

Its innovations with regard to timed-run and in-level goal designs are sure to become trends used in the next generation of alternative sports games.

The game's characters look and seem very faithful to their television counterparts. Some corners were cut in terms of the gameplay, however, and the result is a kart racer that isn't quite as solid as the best that the genre has to offer.

Definitely a fun game, but it's also a short one. It shouldn't take you more than five hours to go from beginning to end.

Other than the addition of mouselook--whose beneficial impact on gameplay cannot be understated--nothing much has been added...But--and this is a big "but"--GTAIII is a faithful port of a truly exceptional game.

One of those rarities that lives up to the spirit of its subject matter while also dishing out a reasonably decent gameplay experience.

Though it introduces a few new features that don't quite work, it retains and improves upon virtually every element of the original, both in its single-player campaign and in its multiplayer mode.

More of a self-running soccer simulator than a soccer game. The computer takes care of the majority of the controls.

Dinosaur Digs isn't nearly as visually or audibly rewarding as it could have been.

A remarkable amount of replay value for a licensed racing game, and it boasts what's arguably the most precise control of any console driving game to date.

The game offers strong graphics and sound as well as a good variety of modes, but it's held back somewhat by its lack of polish.

Occasionally frustrating, but when it's good, it's very, very good.

Could be entertaining as a novelty for short while, but stops short of becoming a game worth playing for any length of time.

Unfortunately, there's not much here that stands out, making this feel more like a series of tweaks than what we've come to expect from a fully featured expansion.

Has virtually no lasting value whatsoever and just isn't much fun to play even as long as it lasts.

While it's not the prettiest Xbox game out there, let alone the best-looking Star Wars game, it does offer good control and entertaining gameplay.

The action focuses on the turn-based management and strategic command of a small group of soldiers. This is a complex idea, but the gameplay of Tactics Ogre truly shines, and the Game Boy Advance is a capable platform for it.

Quite simply one of the most exciting PC sports games ever created.

What was once groundbreaking is now mundane, since this new game remains largely unchanged from what was so refreshing five years ago.

Easy to learn and play, and it will entertain you for 10 or 15 minutes at a time.

While the gameplay is still as entertaining as ever, the game just lacks too many secondary features--both in comparison with "FIFA 2002" and even with other versions of 2002 FIFA World Cup--to make it worthwhile for anyone but the biggest World Cup fan.

A decent-enough platformer with some very nice visuals.

There's enough meat on Burnout's bones to provide an engaging, albeit unoriginal, take on arcade racing.

With the exception of the dated control scheme, Capcom has nearly perfected its craft and created the best Resident Evil ever.

A run-of-the-mill arcade driving game that features spectacular crashes.

If you already own FIFA 2002, then there really isn't any reason to own 2002 FIFA World Cup, and if you don't own FIFA 2002 but are looking for a soccer game, you should get that game instead.

The game that once inspired awe with its wacky style and bizarre game mechanics in 1998 is getting a bit stale.

The game is as far from original as you can get and in need of much better balancing.

While 2002 World Cup offers stadiums and an interface that are specific to the event, the game lacks many of the features found in FIFA 2002, making it difficult to recommend to anyone but World Cup fanatics.

More than just a technical marvel--it is a thoroughly enjoyable experience, albeit with a few shortcomings.

Many of your frustrations with Spider-Man: The Movie will be directly linked to the game's camera, which sometimes seems to take on a life of its own regardless of which camera mode you choose.

It goes into slightly more realistic territory without sacrificing the fun, easy-to-learn gameplay that most of Midway's sports games possess.

The outdoor levels are much more fun and enjoyable than the indoor levels--so much that the game could have been considerably better had there simply been more of the former and less of the latter.

While leaving the quick save feature out may seem like a slight oversight, the reality is that it changes the game into a frustrating exercise in trial and error.

The only blemish on the whole affair is navigating via the world map, as the small size of the GBA screen sometimes makes it a chore to find places you can dock at when riding the whale.

A slightly updated version of the orange marsupial's 1998 debut on the PlayStation.

Despite the camera problems and some of the other issues, most players will probably enjoy playing what ultimately turns out to be a graphically superior version of the PlayStation and Dreamcast Spider-Man games, which faithfully captured the superhero's moves and antics to begin with.

Despite the rough edges, however, it is the Spider-Man character itself that makes Spider-Man: The Movie fun to play.

A dated game that has remained unchanged in this latest release.

Since there's no skirmish option available for playing the core strategic game against the computer, the game's appeal is a lot more limited than it might have been.

It has all of the same ingredients that made the earlier releases so popular, but the excitement is gone, and what once felt new and energetic is now old and tired.

If you've discovered a fishing game that you enjoy, then there's really no reason to try this one, since you'll have undoubtedly seen it all before, and seen it done better elsewhere.

It almost perfectly captures the gameplay of the PS2 version...If you don't have a gamepad, get one for it.
