    An enjoyable and stylish street racer that offers plenty of customization options and a few sweet gamebreaker features.

    Tomb Raider: Legend offers a good mix of gunplay and puzzles; it also shows off the system's 3D capabilities.

    Fans of the first Suikoden game will love the sequel - it improves on everything that had made the first game memorable. Suikoden II brings nothing new to the genre, but it executes well enough that no one will really care.

    A cool piece of technology, and it definitely has the potential to be a lot of fun, especially in a crowd setting. If you're a fan of karaoke, or think that enough of the songs on the disc are appealing, you'll certainly have fun with the game.

    Takes a little longer to get used to than your average motocross game, but the result is a deeper game that still has all the fun of a more arcadelike offering.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    A good fighting game that offers a good variety of attacks and reversals, but the real stars are still the blood and fatality moves you'll see during each match.

    For anyone looking for a "Puyo Puyo"-esque game with "Street Fighter" thrown in for good measure, this game will satisfy.

    And challenging it is: The Middle Ages were tough times and similarly, Lords of the Realm II is a tough game.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    The graphics, the audio, the events (and everything else) are identical in both games, but only now, players control a farm girl instead of a farm boy and court future husbands instead of future wives.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    Offers a refreshing and entertaining experience that successfully evokes a sense of what it might have been like to live a life of danger and adventure on the high seas.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    If you think the idea of a game about driving around in a machine-gun-toting car while completely ignoring traffic laws and blowing away anything in your path sounds like fun, then you'll get it out of RoadKill.

    Silent Hill 3 isn't so much about gameplay as it is about creating a disturbing world and immersing you in it, which is something it does very well.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    A well-done game, filled with dangerous opponents and plenty of targets to shoot at, but it also doesn't fulfill its potential.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    The PlayStation 2 version of Brothers in Arms doesn't quite measure up to the PC and Xbox versions. The game feels noticeably unpolished across the board, with muddier graphics, tinny sound effects, and, most egregiously, problems with the game balance.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    Traveller's Tales delivers a short but inviting adventure that makes deft use of both of its almost arbitrary licenses.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    It's a familiar formula, but Justice League Heroes offers something interesting by blending dungeon-crawling convention with comic book heroics.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    Enjoyment of the game's dark subject matter is diluted slightly by some awkward controls and strange pacing, but there are still plenty of good chills to be had.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    The game's primary goal is to distill roughly 38 hours of TV episodes into 15 or 20 hours of hands-on gameplay, and it succeeds at doing so.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    This is probably one of the better kids' games to hit the market in a while, and that it's clever and charming enough to appeal to adults is a testament to that fact.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    The novelty of watching a little Lego person version of Obi-Wan Kenobi duel it out with Darth Maul certainly accounts for a large portion of the game's appeal, but on its own merits it's a fairly fun, inventive little game.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    Empires actually brings some much-needed depth to the aging Dynasty Warriors formula with a new strategy-oriented game mode.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    A good racing game that--with a few tweaks-- could have easily been one of the greatest.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    The game's wide-open levels actually encourage players to explore, giving the series a fresh feel compared to past games and other World War II shooters. Unfortunately, a very brief campaign and no online multiplayer means the fun doesn't last long.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    It combines the level structure and characters from the Dreamcast game with many of the story elements from the Xbox game, and it does an effective job.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    If you think the idea of a game about driving around in a machine-gun-toting car while completely ignoring traffic laws and blowing away anything in your path sounds like fun, then you'll get it out of RoadKill.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    A surprisingly good interpretation of its console counterpart. The game's graphics, sound, and gameplay make it a perfect game to take with you anywhere.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    Rails Across America's many weaknesses certainly don't totally dampen the fun of racing to see who can outbuild the competition.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    Retails for more than the earlier expansion packs, but it offers a lot more. Though fans of Disciples II must be anxious for a true third installment in the series, for now, this is the closest thing they'll get.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    MTX Mototrax offers a respectable challenge and fun, satisfying racing in one relatively cheap package.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    It's been years since a game let you pour boiling oil on invading hordes, and Stronghold simulates castle sieges well enough to recommend it to those who are interested in the premise. But it's a hesitant recommendation, due to a poor interface and mediocre campaigns.
