    While Konami has toned down the simulation elements of Winter X-Games Snowboarding 2002 so that it will appeal to a broader audience, the challenging controls and plodding snowboarder mode will turn off all but the most ardent snowboarders.

    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
    This is a huge game, but not in a good way. There simply just isn't enough action or variety to keep your attention, and the complex economic structure feels just a tad bit too complex for its own good.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    Quite shallow, and while it could easily tide over Godzilla fans for a while, it ultimately relies on the strength of its license to compensate for its weakness as a game.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    This year's game does put a greater emphasis on its included pro players, and the online multiplayer is certainly a draw, but the offline play is still a bit mundane, thanks to off-kilter artificial intelligence and lackluster presentation.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    Despite some bright spots, this isn't a fitting sequel to X-COM, and, on its own merits, it just isn't a good tactical combat simulator.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    This game might make a few halfhearted attempts to try to rope new players into the Tenchu fold, between its original story and its tutorial mode, but the gameplay itself is cumbersome, and the presentation isn't going to be good enough to hold most players' interest when the gameplay fails to.

    It's fraught with lots of minor gameplay problems that eventually add up to one major headache. Rising Sun isn't completely without merit, since it comes packaged with some nice extra materials and mostly solid production values, but the weakness of the gameplay itself undermines what could have been a much more enjoyable experience.

    • 66 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    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.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    It's as mindless of a shooter as they come, and you can't help but be disappointed at the thought of this, in light of the series' roots as a mentally stimulating strategy game.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    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.

    Though derivative, Egg Mania provides a perspective on the "Tetris" formula that's fresh enough and an adequate amount of gameplay variety to keep puzzle fans engaged.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    Outside of a few bug fixes and a few insignificant additions, this is the exact same game you played last year.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    A straightforward game that is every bit as forgettable as what you did on your real spring break, after the beer began to flow.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    While this action adventure game flexes a bit of the PlayStation 3's graphical muscle with its mythical Japanese scenery, its rather shallow, derivative gameplay makes it difficult to recommend.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    Due to a serious flaw in the game's single-player component, the only way to squeeze your money's worth out of this 2D punchfest is to track down two or three other people with the game and play them in linked games.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    The game's sharp graphics and elaborate universe--well, elaborate for a fighting game, anyway--are nullified by its subpar gameplay.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    Hard-core "Time Crisis" fans and those just looking for a good gun game would do well to pick up this game, but the antiquated presentation, lack of options, and brutal continue system will make this at best a rental for most.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    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.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    Its good premise is almost enough to outweigh its frustrating design flaws.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    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.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    Borrows too heavily from other games and lacks that "hook" to make it worth dealing with excessive defending, a thin story you'd expect to see on Power Rangers, and aural competence.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    Online Chess Kingdoms is predictably unsuccessful in its attempts to change or enhance the timeless classic, but thankfully it does let you play classic chess online or off.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    Like the original game on launch day, this expansion pack balances good points with bad almost every step of the way, resulting in yet another turn-based fantasy adventure that isn't all that it could be.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    Unfortunately, humor is the only thing Whiplash seems to really nail, and chuckles alone aren't enough to carry an entire game.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    The game's heavy emphasis on a disjointed and needless plot and some generally unimpressive production values are Frogger's Adventures main drawbacks, though they don't prevent the game from being enjoyable overall.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    Exhibits bouts of outrageously bad AI and displays little quirks that make it seem as though the game is simulating incompetent high school football players as opposed to seasoned professionals.
    • 44 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    While it looks and sounds good and is a solid-playing game, it is not without a few annoying quirks that pop up at moments when you least need or want them. The addition of being able to play as a villain is a welcome change.
