Younger or more casual players may find the game way too hard and may be better off with something less difficult. However, fans of the series or experienced gamers should not hesitate to pick this one up.

Ultimately, the gameplay has a few minor flaws, and the available modes aren't quite as deep as those found in other college football games that are available on the market.

While this version does have a small number of new tracks and trucks, as well as a handful of sundry tweaks, it also has the same unimpressive graphics and inconsistent physics of its Xbox counterpart.

The game's unspectacular presentation and its dated design do interfere with its success, though.

Offers the same fast-paced, high-flying racing action that the PS2 version does, retaining the original version's intense level of difficulty and its two-player modes.

In the end, you'll probably be surprised by how well Silent Scope works on a handheld system.

This game is, without a doubt, one of the worst products ever released. It will eternally battle Kabuki Warriors for the title of "Xbox game most likely to make your brain explode."

Just another shallow party game.

An incredibly appealing sports game.

Ultimately a graphical front end for a clumsy and frustrating spreadsheet.

Poor AI, dull design, and lackluster presentation all add up to make Blade II a game that you should definitely skip.

Just another shallow party game.

While the PS2 version retains the over-the-top gameplay and appealing characters, the game's visual quality has been compromised somewhat by a fluctuating frame rate, slightly less-detailed textures, and washed-out colors that take away from the game's visual style.

Fun for a short while, and at least you'll have some great sightseeing ahead of you before the game starts to lose its interest.

GT 2002's only real issue is a relative lack of racetracks, but the game has enough depth to overcome that problem.

Poor AI, dull design, and lackluster presentation all add up to make Blade II a game that you should definitely skip.

If you've never played any Ratbag games and are looking for a solid racer with an unusual subject and unusual quality for a budget game, Dirt Track Racing 2 is well worth trying out.

A bread-and-butter console shooter that will let you blast enemies to your heart's content, but not a whole lot else. If that's good enough for you, then go for it.

Aside from a few little rough spots, Syberia is an adventure-game tour de force, with an engrossing story, a truly imaginative gameworld, and stunning visuals.

If you can withstand the surprisingly hard difficulty level, you'll find that Turok: Evolution is actually quite a good side-scroller.

Another dose of the prehistoric shooter action that we've seen in previous installments. It's formulaic but done well enough.

Exactly how much the Turok series has evolved with this latest installment is debatable, but the game does provide a healthy dose of shooting lizards with big guns, and, in the end, that's why we play Turok.

After only a few minutes with it, you'll quickly notice that it not only has poor control, repetitive sounds, and bland graphics, but also blatantly rips off the overall structure and visual stylings of "Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec."

No other product delivers the ease of use and instructional value of Chessmaster 9000.

Since the PS2 version loses the crispness of the original's graphics and some of the game's other fine touches in translation, it can't be recommended over the PC version.

Has the same drawbacks as its predecessor, including some frustrating camera angles and a relative short main quest.

Unfortunately, stellar visuals alone do not make a great game, and ATV Quad Power Racing comes up short in every other possible category.

Doesn't include any of the storyline or single-player progression from the original game, but it does include the same terrific gameplay and a few new game modes built for online multiplayer action.
