    The controls are just a little too sluggish, making it feel as though you're driving a run-down school bus instead of a quick and nimble jet fighter or helicopter.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Isn't the most authentic or the most extravagant baseball game available, but it does fill a niche for casual fans who just want to dive in and play a quick game of hardball.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It should satisfy players who don't care about all the miscellaneous nuances of the sport, or who aren't looking to immerse themselves in a complicated franchise mode.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    Though the game's developers clearly put a lot of work into the way the game looks and sounds, Enclave's gameplay just doesn't measure up to its presentation.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    An enjoyable game that should appeal to dinosaur buffs and park simulation fans alike, thanks to its attractive graphics engine, unique features, and surprising gameplay depth.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Thanks to its excellent controls and sheer depth, the combat system will ultimately be one of the reasons this game will keep drawing you back in even after you complete the single-player campaign.

    • 72 Critic Score
    Anyone craving some old-style, surprisingly difficult Mega Man action shouldn't think twice before jumping right into Mega Man and Bass.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    It should satisfy players who don't care about all the miscellaneous nuances of the sport, or who aren't looking to immerse themselves in a complicated franchise mode.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    It's simply the best and most addictive baseball game available this year... Spectacular.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    Wants to appeal to everyone, but ultimately, it's not well suited for anyone.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    The levels are larger and require more exploration than the typical Sonic game; the abilities of the five separate playable characters actually have an influence over the strategy you'll use to complete an area.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    Sports Mogul has adjusted aspects of the artificial intelligence to make play more satisfying in key areas like trading and finance and has tossed in a few sorely needed frills that make the game at least a marginal improvement over its predecessor.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    Puts authentic gameplay ahead of any other detail.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Though it's certainly not a bad game, Line of Sight: Vietnam isn't as ambitious as "Deadly Dozen: Pacific Theater," and its environments aren't as interesting.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 34 Critic Score
    All of the missions in the game (even the ones that you can unlock by completing Murakumo's main mode) grow incredibly tiresome, not only because they're mostly identical but also because the mechs themselves are so poorly designed.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    While you should be enjoying yourself, considering who should be hitting cleanup versus lefties, among other things, you'll instead find yourself constantly thinking about how much easier everything would be with a drag-and-drop interface.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    It's not wildly original or innovative, it's just fun.
    • 77 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 one of the best platformers we've seen on the GameCube thus far.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    While it's not the revolutionary title it initially promised to be, it delivers the exact combination of addictive and accessible gameplay that the genre has needed for a long time.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 66 Critic Score
    Technical problems and frustrating difficulty levels mar an otherwise solid game.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    It can be set up to play like an off-the-cuff, arcade-style racing game or can be adjusted by varying degrees to simulate the actual physics and handling of an unforgiving F1 racing vehicle.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The hard-core Metal Gear Solid fan should get a kick out for the VR missions and other extras, so Substance wouldn't make a bad rental if you went into it knowing what to expect.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Not only lives up to its predecessors' own high standards, but also to the generally high standards of this popular style of gaming.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 56 Critic Score
    It fails miserably at providing any sort of interesting story or characters that you care about. The levels are huge, but they're often bland or repetitive, and the game is riddled with design problems and bugs.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    Forgotten Battles doesn't make the sort of huge impact that the original game did, but, despite its faults, it's generally a very worthy successor.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    The sheer number of available teams, modes, and bonuses is absolutely staggering.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Expands on nearly every aspect of the series. The new game provides much more information than previous versions, so you feel more in control of your club.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    It's the occasional appearance of something different--the alternate solutions, the flashback through another's eyes--that makes most of Post Mortem seem dull and typical in comparison.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    Although the futuristic setting is a welcome change of pace, Harbinger falls short of the mark, with half-baked action and role-playing elements that are overly shallow and simplistic.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    Extremely similar to the previous games, but if you care more about the series' engaging turn-based gameplay and colorful presentation, you'll find enough in Winds of War to keep you busy for some time.
