    Regardless of how passionate you are about rally racing, or just the ASO-sponsored event itself, it's doubtful that you'll tolerate Acclaim's mockery of the sport.

    Act Zero takes the Bomberman series to a new low with paper-thin gameplay, ugly visuals, and an overall lack of effort.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 29 Critic Score
    Top Spin 2 for the DS offers a good player roster and a deep shot system, but the choppy graphics render the game unplayable.

    Even the promise of blowing away the most generic of terrorists in Middle America isn't enough to make Patriots anything more than a rote, mind-numbing shooter.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 29 Critic Score
    A major disappointment. It lacks the unpredictability and mayhem of the console versions, as well as most of the features that you'd expect to find in a traditional baseball game.

    MC Groovz may feature The Fresh Prince's "Parents Just Don't Understand," but dancing to its poorly stepped, overly lengthy tracks just makes us feel like Carlton Banks.

    Harlem Globetrotters: World Tour is a sloppy two-on-two basketball game that includes Globetrotters players but none of their signature shots or antics.

    After a few hours with Made Man, you'll be begging for someone to put two in the back of your head.

    The GBA version of R-Type III is a pathetic, wretched imitation of that great game.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 28 Critic Score
    A train wreck of a game that has no direction, no technical merit, and little appeal except as a game design house of horrors and a showcase for some good music by Stewart Copeland.

    Celebrity Deathmatch's biggest problem isn't its timing, but, rather, it's the absolutely horrid gameplay and complete lack of any worthwhile features.
    • 30 Metascore

    Celebrity Deathmatch's biggest problem isn't its timing, but, rather, it's the absolutely horrid gameplay and complete lack of any worthwhile features.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 28 Critic Score
    A buggy mess that has nothing to do with the actual Crusades and even less to do with fulfilling, engaging gameplay.
    • 29 Metascore
    • 28 Critic Score
    When you combine the stiff gameplay, muddy graphics, and clunky movement in the game's levels, Batman: Dark Tomorrow ends up feeling like it was thrown together with half-finished components.
    • 25 Metascore
    • 28 Critic Score
    The actual experience of playing Batman: Dark Tomorrow is so awful that avoiding the game altogether is the best course of action.
    • 37 Metascore
    • 28 Critic Score
    Quite possibly one of the most confused games and most definitely one of the worst games to be released so far in 2002.

    Celebrity Deathmatch's biggest problem isn't its timing, but, rather, it's the absolutely horrid gameplay and complete lack of any worthwhile features.

    • 28 Critic Score
    This poor excuse of a first-person shooter is so bad that other developers should study it and use it as a guide for what to avoid when putting together similar games in the future.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 27 Critic Score
    A second-rate interpretation of the extreme sports genre, and it rigidly follows the conventions set out by games before it, rather than offering any innovations.
    • 29 Metascore
    • 27 Critic Score
    It's hard to imagine that anyone would deliberately release the game as it is--in fact, it's easier to imagine that the game somehow escaped from Fun Labs on its own and clawed its way onto store shelves.

    ArchLord can be summed up with two words: "dull" and "repetitive."
    • 26 Metascore
    • 27 Critic Score
    The game has the worst combination of problems a boxing game could possibly have: sloppy controls, horrid animation, and poor collision detection. These detrimental factors ultimately make HBO boxing a bigger waste of money than the Tyson vs. Golata fight.
    • 33 Metascore
    • 27 Critic Score
    It truly manages to re-create what it must be like to be on the wrong end of a mob shakedown, because by the end of the experience, you'll pretty much feel like you've had your head caved in with a lead pipe.
    • 40 Metascore
    • 27 Critic Score
    There's virtually nothing to the game that suggests that any real effort or care went into Taiketsu's creation, and every facet of its execution--the sound, the graphics, the combat--feels unfinished.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 27 Critic Score
    Not entirely unlike Nintendo's Super Mario World, except that it's significantly more dull and frustrating.
    • 29 Metascore
    • 27 Critic Score
    Whether you're a fan of the cartoon or a fan of fighting games, Legend of the Dragon is a total disappointment.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 26 Critic Score
    In Barrow Hill, nobody can hear you yawn.
    • 35 Metascore
    • 26 Critic Score
    Does not suffice in any facet of its execution and should be avoided by even the most fervent vehicular combat fans.
    • 45 Metascore
    • 26 Critic Score
    From its buggy, intensely frustrating gameplay to its near-absent production values, Made Man is a flat-out mess across every category.
    • 26 Metascore
    • 26 Critic Score
    The game is plagued by poor control, an unintuitive interface, time limits, ugly graphics, grating music, and one of the worst save-game systems ever devised.
