    The incredibly slow pacing and monotonous puzzles will override the Disney entertainment factor for the young as well.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 92 Critic Score
    A must for anyone with even a passing interest in football. It might very well be the finest game in the venerable history of the EA Sports series.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Works out many of the kinks found in last year's game and gets the series back on track.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Unlike EA's game ["NBA Street"], Street Hoops is ugly, shallow, and incredibly dull.
    • 93 Metascore
    • 96 Critic Score
    With its in-depth franchise mode, online play, excellent running and passing gameplay, and detailed graphics, NFL 2K3 is one of the best football games to date.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    The game's shallow goal design keeps it from achieving the same level of addictiveness as games like "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3" and "Aggressive Inline."
    • 60 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    A perfect example of a game that doesn't have any serious problems but doesn't do anything to really set itself apart, making it difficult to recommend because there are better alternatives available.
    • 95 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Has online play, a robust franchise mode, and plenty of secondary modes to keep you busy, but the minor issues with the running and passing game really prevent it from being the absolute best representation of professional football that's available.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The controls and overall presentation, while lifted from the Madden games of the past, are up to the current GBA standards and do a nice job of delivering NFL fun on the go.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Nowhere near as pretty or diverse as the original 1996 PC game, but it's easily the best FPS to hit the GBA since "Doom."
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It's certainly not as deep or as beautiful as the recent PlayStation 2 and Xbox releases, but it's still pretty fun.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 66 Critic Score
    Short and relatively uninspired.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Unlike EA's game ["NBA Street"], Street Hoops is ugly, shallow, and incredibly dull.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    The game's shallow goal design keeps it from achieving the same level of addictiveness as games like "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3" and "Aggressive Inline."
    • 92 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    The few minor issues in the gameplay and the fact that it has the same general look as last year's game really prevent it from taking the crown in this year's football race.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It's a great game and definitely worth purchasing if you didn't already buy Blitz 2002, but Blitz 2002 owners may wish to rent this one first to see if the changes are meaningful enough to them to warrant another purchase.
    • 92 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    There's a lot to like about Madden 2003...the few small problems its gameplay does have really prevent from it being the top football game on the GameCube.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    Consistently avoids any overt lewdness you might expect and rises above it by delivering an all-around excellent game with impressive visuals and tight, intuitive gameplay.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A great game that fixes a lot of the little problems with the 2002 game and adds a couple of nice features.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 35 Critic Score
    Instead of drawing from the rich source material of the TV show, Farscape is a conventional action game with a clunky interface and a dated engine.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    The game seems to lack an overall level of polish, as you'll see some questionable AI and some occasional bouts of slowdown in the PS2 version of the game. Still, the gameplay itself is rock-solid.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    It's a great introduction for first-time smugglers, but those already familiar with the series won't find much new here.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    Fans of last year's game won't find much more than a roster update and a few minor gameplay tweaks in NFL Fever 2003, while new players will find in it a fairly entertaining, though unrealistic, game of football.
    • 35 Metascore
    • 26 Critic Score
    Your best bet is to not play Tsunami 2265 at all. Don't worry, you're not missing anything.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 66 Critic Score
    Unless you haven't come out of your basement since 1983, you've undoubtedly seen plenty of strategy games that are much more advanced.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Simply put, console tennis doesn't get any better than this.
    • 50 Metascore

    xXx
    Like so many other motion picture adaptations, the game lacks the special effects and dialogue that make the film entertaining.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    Its innovations with regard to timed-run and in-level goal designs are sure to become trends used in the next generation of alternative sports games.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    The game's somewhat sticky control and straightlaced mission design keep Gun Metal's gameplay from living up to the strength of the idea.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    What could have been an action-packed, combat-intensive game gets muddled down by mechanics that make it frustrating more often than satisfying.
