    • 59 Metascore
    • 57 Critic Score
    A stripped-down game with poor graphics, poor sound, and a clunky control scheme.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    Despite its unrealistic physics, repetitive racing, and insufficient options, the game can, at times, be surprisingly enjoyable.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    Convincing is a good word for The Clone Wars, which ultimately succeeds at making you feel like you're on the front lines of a big Star Wars ground battle.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    Despite its problems, Pro Race Driver usually does a fine job of integrating storytelling and dramatic, varied racing, rightfully putting the spotlight on both men and machines.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    Partly due to its low level of difficulty, Lunar Legend won't take you too long to finish--it's about 15 hours long.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    Does have a certain charm about it, but not to the extent that anyone but die-hard fans of the TV series should risk their hard-earned dollars to play it.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    The story has at least a couple of fine twists, and Kain is as memorable of a main character as they come.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 52 Critic Score
    A sloppy, loose-handling game of football that can't hold a torch to any of the games it tries to emulate.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Even though the game's overall execution leaves something to be desired, Bounty Hunter has its good points, and the GameCube version is markedly better than the PS2 release.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 52 Critic Score
    If you're a fan of futuristic racers, there's probably nothing in Drome Racers to enjoy that you haven't already seen in a better game.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    Frogger Beyond brings the gameplay back to the frantic puzzle action that made "Frogger 2: Swampy's Revenge" an enjoyable little title.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    Legends of Wrestling II's different modes, which feature a relatively unique approach are undermined by the substandard gameplay.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    The rather simple fighting system in DBZ Budokai is really the key factor that's going to keep it from appealing to many people outside of the DBZ fan base.
    • 95 Metascore
    • 92 Critic Score
    A great handheld port of one of the greatest games ever released for Nintendo's 16-bit system.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 32 Critic Score
    This cel-shaded third-person shooter is completely substandard in nearly every aspect and therefore is impossible to recommend, even to the young audience that the game is targeted toward.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Because of its fast pace and relatively simple scope, Starships Unlimited succeeds--it's almost like having "Risk" set in the stars.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    A little patience and a lot of practice is likely to produce some highly addictive results, even for those who felt overwhelmed and frustrated by Grigsby's earlier efforts such as "Pacific War" and "War in Russia."
    • 71 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    It may seem ironic that Shadow of Destiny, one of the best PC adventure games to come around in some time, was originally a console game.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    DAoC is still one of the best online role-playing games on the market, and by extension, one of the best such games to date. And Shrouded Isles succeeds at making it even bigger and better.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The game still has a few rough spots on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball that would make any fan of the sport throw his or her controller in frustration.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    Though there are a few good scenes--such as the first time you see Pyramid Head--it becomes quickly apparent that there aren't many startling, truly scary moments to support the mood.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    The graphics are bad, and they definitely kick the game down a couple of pegs.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Makes up for its simplistic gameplay and brief quest with a great deal of variety.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Still has a few rough spots on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball that would make any fan of the sport throw his or her controller in frustration.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    It can make for a decent though relatively brief diversion for GameCube owners really hurting for an RPG, and its lighthearted style makes it suitable for Pokémon fans.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    Still has a few rough spots on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball that would make any fan of the sport throw his or her controller in frustration.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    Simply not a very fun game. Its unchallenging gameplay mechanics, substandard graphics, and lack of any real multiplayer modes make it the worst iteration of the game yet.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    While Street Fighter Alpha 3 for the GBA does cut a few corners here and there, it takes a discerning fan to notice any real difference between this version and the arcade original--and that's pretty amazing.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 41 Critic Score
    You might have trouble appreciating Shadowflare's gameplay nuances, because the game's sound isn't too great and its visuals are absolutely primitive.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    Its wide selection of options is often plagued by repetition, and is confusing to navigate because of a poor interface.
