    If you play and enjoy "The Sims," you'll play and enjoy Vacation--and you'll just enjoy it more if you happen to have "Hot Date" and "House Party."

    The game just isn't deep enough or complex enough.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A solid collection of games that are still just as playable as they were when they were first released many years ago.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    A sharp-looking, amusing romp through a handful of levels that should please those with a taste for the game's whimsical nature.

    While it may share some visual qualities with Konami's internationally popular "ISS Pro Evolution" series, it plays entirely differently.

    Freedom Force has a winning personality and a developed style that's as good as PC gaming has ever offered--it joins the ranks of games like "Interstate '76" and "Grim Fandango."

    Its basic design makes it very easy for players to pick up and enjoy, though die-hard fans of the genre will find it frustrating at times.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    Addictive as a single-player experience and flat-out irresistible while playing in an online league, it shouldn't be missed.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    An endearing and well thought-out game. It's neither extremely innovative, nor technically impressive--rather, it's an especially well-executed example of a fairly common sort of game.

    • 74 Critic Score
    Soul Reaver fans will find a familiar experience in Blood Omen 2, but the new game lacks the innovation and the surprising drama that made the Soul Reaver series great.

    • 85 Critic Score
    [An] exceptional rally game--one that has no equal on the PlayStation 2.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    Sadly, the AI is very predictable, so after you've gotten the hang of the game, you'll have no trouble winning almost every race.
    • 78 Metascore

    The ability to play as Chain, Buchu, Star, Blues, and the rest of the Yie Ar Kung-Fu gang is enough on its own to make this cart a must-have.

    Completely linear and will take you 15 to 20 hours to finish...The story has at least a couple of fine twists, and Kain is as memorable of a main character as they come.
    • 44 Metascore
    • 31 Critic Score
    We were able to tear through the game's 15 levels of difficulty without breaking a sweat, thanks to this infinite spinning feature.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 56 Critic Score
    It also has an interface that seems designed to shield you from actually playing the game.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    Everything of value here means little because of the sluggish pace.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    While Smash Court isn't quite as polished or deep as "Virtua Tennis," there's still plenty of fun to be had with this game.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 59 Critic Score
    An incredibly deep game, and being able to play with all the physical cards you own makes this game the ideal companion piece for avid collectors who want to see their cards duke it out in 3D.

    Although it has fewer features than other baseball video games, Baseball Advance is both fun and impressive.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    Its wealth of gameplay modes dwarfs that of the competition, the gameplay can be slightly buggy at times but remains predominantly tight, and the graphics are more than adequate.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    [It] will likely bore the older players and frustrate the young.

    There's no denying that Warbirds is at once the most difficult, expensive, and ultimately gratifying online flight sim currently available.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Quite a fun game, and anyone who's the least bit excited by the history of gaming and the sights and sounds that started it all should enjoy it.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 33 Critic Score
    The frustrating gameplay will turn even the most eager gamer's experience sour after a few levels.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Manages to convey the same feeling of deadly tension that its PC counterpart was famous for, and the compromises that were made to make it portable are fairly minor.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    While it all could have worked out nicely and been a solid action game, the game's touchy and occasionally awkward control pushes the game past the "nice, firm challenge" stage and up into the "frustrating trial-and-error" difficulty level.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    A very fun baseball game to play. The game's great graphics, involving gameplay, and great commentary all blend together to deliver an exciting and authentic game of baseball.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    The best arcade-style football game on the home market.
