    While the game has a nice look to it and plays just fine, it doesn't really stray too far from the series' original design, and as such it feels like the same thing we've been playing for three years.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    The game suffers from a number of small flaws (and sometimes bigger ones, where the AI is concerned), yet it still does many things exceptionally well.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 53 Critic Score
    The game's solid level design and passable audio quality just aren't enough to make up for its numerous problems.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    This is definitely a game for a younger audience, yet it displays a level of polish rarely seen in a kid's game, and some of the game's art design may actually impress people outside of its targeted age bracket.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    A decent game. Better graphics and sound would have really helped the game to feel a lot more modern and be enjoyable to a wider audience.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The game was obviously made by people who love the subject matter, and that affection comes across in every element.

    Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire aren't a big departure from their predecessors, but they definitely look better and have lots of new Pokémon to catch, so Pokémon fans will be in for exactly what they want.

    Like a botched cloning experiment from a B movie, with developer Xpec Entertainment playing the mad scientist's role and Gauntlet playing the test subject. The beast that's emerged from the cloning chamber is just what you'd expect: a shambling, ugly, and dumb version of the source material.

    What Rayman 3 does is re-create much of the same lighthearted whimsy that made Rayman 2 so incredibly enjoyable, while differentiating the action enough for the game to stand up on its own.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    It does further refine the formula, is completely worthy of the Rayman name, and is easily one of the most satisfying platforming experiences to come to the PC in a good while.
    • 32 Metascore
    • 21 Critic Score
    A game that simply attempts to cash in on the success of "Counter-Strike" and the "Rainbow Six" series by copying their themes, but it ends up falling well short of the mark because of its terrible graphics engine, its ill-conceived design, and a campaign that takes only a few hours to (nearly) complete.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    Clock Tower 3's movie portions are stronger than the gameplay that underpins them, and the result is a game that you'll probably want to finish more for its storyline than for the fun you'll have actually playing it.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The lack of gameplay depth and the game's frequently erratic difficulty make it tough to recommend to anyone who isn't absolutely desperate for a game about big trucks.
    • 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.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    Doesn't blow the doors off "Rayman 2," but it does further refine the formula, is completely worthy of the Rayman name, and is also the best platformer on the Xbox thus far.
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    It's arguably the best version of the game to date, but a year and a half after it was released on the Xbox, the game doesn't have quite the same impact.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 57 Critic Score
    When it comes to graphics and sound, Crush Hour begins to fall apart at the seams.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 89 Critic Score
    Simply the best and most addictive baseball game available this year.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Racing fans looking for a new and unique challenge that can be as rewarding as it is deep should give MotoGP3 a try, and players looking for the definitive motorcycling experience for the PlayStation 2 shouldn't bother looking any further.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 57 Critic Score
    Everything in the game feels extremely rushed and underpolished.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Players who lost touch with baseball games when they went 3D on the PlayStation may find that Slugfest is exactly what they've been missing.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The additions are noticeable, but it may still be tough for owners of last year's game to justify a purchase, considering that it hasn't even been a year since the release of "MLB Slugfest 2003."
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Players who lost touch with baseball games when they went 3D on the PlayStation may find that Slugfest is exactly what they've been missing.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 38 Critic Score
    The game's problematic interface makes it too complicated to be mindless fun, and the combat itself is too mindless to have any strategic depth.
    • 93 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Without a doubt, the finest soccer game available for any game platform right now.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    The challenging and lengthy single-player campaign and the tough AI will keep you busy for a long time, while custom skirmish modes and multiplayer capability add to the game's value.
