    Family Guy
    Though it gets the show's style of humor down pat, Family Guy is derailed by frustrating and uninteresting gameplay.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    Obscure
    Judging by Obscure, a survival horror throwback best described as "Resident Evil" in a high school, French developer Hydravision is stuck in 1996.

    Death Jr. II: Root of Evil
    Death Jr. II is almost a good game, but substandard controls and repetitive combat make it difficult to enjoy.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    ESPN Winter X-Games Snowboarding
    Those who may be looking for another "SSX" will certainly be disappointed by X-Games' sim-styled approach, but those who are looking for a true-to-life snowboarding experience will be overjoyed.

    The Simpsons Wrestling
    In spite of its weak gameplay, The Simpsons Wrestling has plenty of laughs in store for devout fans of the series.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    Lowrider
    Despite its lack of polish or depth in just about every facet of its execution, Lowrider has a lot of heart and is notable for at least trying something new.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    Tom & Jerry in War of the Whiskers
    Much like Nintendo's "Super Smash Bros. Melee," the game is just plain fun.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    Import Tuner Challenge
    Import Tuner Challenge does few things right and faces stiff competition from other racing games, but if you sink enough time into it, it can grow on you.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    Legacy Online
    Balanced well for casual players who don't want to make large time commitments to the game, yet it's this same balance that ultimately keeps the game from being truly compelling at this point in time.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    TMNT
    TMNT has some legitimately neat platforming sequences, but it's more frustrating than a kid-oriented game ought to be, and the combat is completely brain-dead.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    Enter the Matrix
    The game's story isn't strong enough to stand on its own, and the gameplay simply doesn't save it, making the game worth a look for hard-core fans of The Matrix films, but a buggy disappointment for just about anyone else.
    • 68 Metascore

    Agatha Christie: And Then There Were None
    It hits certain points well enough that fans of the genre who are willing to overlook the somewhat tired gameplay formula will be rewarded with good atmosphere.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    XIII
    While it definitely has a certain sense of style to it, the game itself misses its mark, and the total package isn't one that will hold the interest of most first-person shooter players.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex
    A slightly updated version of the orange marsupial's 1998 debut on the PlayStation.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    The Nations
    Takes the familiar "Settlers" community-management gameplay and manages to not screw it up in any meaningful way.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    King Arthur
    Despite the fact that Krome Studios was able to translate the story, look, and feel of the film well enough into its offering, the gameplay is simply too lifeless and frustrating to hold your attention the entire way through.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    Constantine
    It might be good enough for fans of the film looking to walk in Constantine's shoes, but if you're simply looking for a good action game, you can do better.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects
    Marvel Nemesis has been engineered in such a way that you must slog through the game's weakest parts to gain access to its best features--and you'll have to wrestle with some serious balance and gameplay issues along the way.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    Freekstyle
    The racing itself is fine, but the flawed trick system makes things more simplistic when it should have added more depth.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    Future Tactics: The Uprising
    It's an intriguing experiment that ultimately suffers from shallow, simplistic gameplay and an uninvolving story mode rife with bland characters.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    Gorasul: Legacy of the Dragon
    You'll be constantly amazed at the lack of refinement.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    Zoo Tycoon: Dinosaur Digs
    Dinosaur Digs isn't nearly as visually or audibly rewarding as it could have been.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    Aura: Fate of the Ages
    Fails as an adventure game, offering no emotional resonance at all. It mostly succeeds well as a puzzle game, though.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    The $100,000 Pyramid
    If you don't plan on having (four) contestants at a time, you'd be well advised to steer clear of Pyramid and pick up the latest copy of "You Don't Know Jack" instead.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    .hack//Outbreak Part 3
    Though it divulges a few more bits of storyline, Outbreak's gameplay is simple and repetitive to the extreme and is even worse off for being just like "Mutation" before it, which in turn was just like the first episode, "Infection," which was marginally good to begin with.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    ESPN MLS ExtraTime 2002
    It just doesn't come close to being on the same level as some of the competing sports titles on other platforms.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    Egg Mania: Eggstreme Madness
    Provides a perspective on the Tetris formula that's fresh enough and an adequate amount of gameplay variety to keep puzzle fans engaged.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    Star Wars Trilogy: Apprentice of the Force
    The combat is shallow and repetitive, and, as a whole, the game is awfully brief--perhaps five hours from beginning to end.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    Secret Agent: Cold War Espionage
    Unfortunately, the 3D engine serves only to make Myst a much more frustrating game.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    Obscure
    Lives up to its name. It's competent enough as far as blatant rip-offs of the great-granddaddy of survival horror go, and the co-op mode certainly adds appeal, but so much has been cobbled together from remnants of other games that Obscure has no distinct identity of its own.
