    Those who've seen and played "Madden" on the PlayStation 2 will immediately see the difference and recognize that NFL GameDay 2001 is merely a PlayStation game posing as a PlayStation 2 product.

    • 58 Critic Score
    A very modest arcade driving game that's simply not worth playing.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    Sneak King isn't a good game, but it's so crazy and so cheap that it still manages to be weirdly compelling.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    The bargain-basement price and relatively original subject matter are definite selling points, but don't expect 911 Fire Rescue to burn brightly for more than a few hours or days.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    The game suffers from imprecise controls, a lackluster presentation, a few bugs, and other issues that make it difficult to recommend.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    While GC introduces some new gameplay conventions - such as the customizable weapons and controllable vehicle - that weren't attempted by the original Half-Life, it's nothing that prior user-created mods like Chemical Existence haven't done before.

    • 58 Critic Score
    GTC: Africa isn't a bad game, but almost all of its components are average at best, and unlike other games in this genre, it lacks any one outstanding feature or notable aspect.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    The shallow, repetitive gameplay of Children of Mana negates any nostalgic charm that the game might have attempted to capture.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    Anyone looking for another "Madden" will be terribly disappointed, though, as the game has more in common with its PlayStation counterpart than "Madden" for the PlayStation 2.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    It gets points for its unrelenting pace, but the action in Spy Hunter: Nowhere to Run is too derivative and mechanical to matter.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    Spyro's newly expanded roster doesn't manage to save A Hero's Tail from monotony, and even the title's targeted younger demographic will probably soon tire of the game's reliance on boring collectible gathering.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    The game is just far too buggy, easy, and uninspiring to hold your attention for more than a few hours, let alone a standard rental period.

    The PSP version of FIFA Street 2 plays about as well as the lackluster PS2 version of the original FIFA Street on which it's based.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    A game with some promise and some good ideas, but a half-cocked presentation and execution.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    This collection of parlor games primarily includes odds-based games like roulette and keno, which aren't all that involving.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    Unfortunately, the game suffers from imprecise controls, a lackluster presentation, a few bugs, and other issues that make it difficult to recommend.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    Short, unbalanced, and somewhat unattractive.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    It should go over well with fans of the genre--it's an altogether solid shooter, if a tad uninspired.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    This role-playing fishing game is marred by too-simple gameplay, a budget presentation, and an overall lack of depth.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    Minor frustrations and inconsistency compound a game that's not very good in the first place, making it one of the least appealing platformer choices currently on the market.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    Though the game draws inspiration from some of the more respected second-string puzzle games out there, Super Bubble Pop offers neither their depth nor their long-term appeal.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    The novelty of racing teeny tiny cars is more than a little bit stale, and so is Micro Machines v4.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    Spyro's newly expanded roster doesn't manage to save A Hero's Tail from monotony, and even the title's targeted younger demographic will probably soon tire of the game's reliance on boring collectible gathering.

    It certainly doesn't maintain the same level of quality as the main games in the Rayman series, but it can prove to be a decent diversion for a short period of time.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    This sci-fi Diablo knockoff mimics the hack-and-slash formula common to all action RPGs, but its budget price and sheer length don't make up for its plodding pace and bland combat.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score

    • 57 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    Paradise looks great, but the dull story and uneven challenge make it a completely unenjoyable game.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    Incredibly similar to the original -- so much so that even fans of the first game will be let down by the sequel's identical graphics, gameplay, and overall lack of innovation.
    • 50 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    Daredevil is an exciting, explosive character, and that energy doesn't manifest itself in this game.
