    • 81 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    One of the best 2D fighting games available, not just on the PlayStation 2, but on any system.
    • 38 Metascore
    • 29 Critic Score
    You can accelerate up to 200mph within seconds and survive a brutal wall impact, but a low-speed scuff on the turf sends your car spinning.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    More of the same thing that made the first game good. Unfortunately, what was great almost three years ago doesn't hold nearly as much water these days.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    A fun beat-'em-up that captures the innocent charm of the show's martial artist namesake.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 61 Critic Score
    Without a more involving campaign mode, with these glaring gaps in realism, and with this lackluster graphics engine, a lot of these fans are bound to be disappointed.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    No one has ever really captured the feel of this sweet science as precisely as Victorious Boxers has.
    • 92 Metascore
    • 94 Critic Score
    More than just an upgrade of the original, SSX Tricky is the best snowboarding game ever made.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    A good racing game that--with a few tweaks-- could have easily been one of the greatest.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    Those who played the original will simply find the same game in a new package...If you've never taken up arms in the Kohan universe, this is your second chance to introduce yourself to a new brand of real-time strategy game--and you shouldn't miss it again.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    If you're looking for classic online RPG hack-and-slash gameplay, Dark Majesty has more than enough to keep you busy for quite some time--and at a price that's more than reasonable.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 59 Critic Score
    If you're looking for a relaxed and somewhat mellow foray into the genre, Martian Gothic isn't half bad.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    With the addition of enhanced graphics, as well as an all-new passing system, fans of soccer will find that this latest FIFA game is the most challenging, most realistic, and also the greatest yet.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    A highly enjoyable, well-executed flight sim that perfectly blends the action elements found in the series' earlier games with the sort of narrative typically reserved for other genres.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 66 Critic Score
    Maintains the status quo and fails to deliver a fresh, compelling experience.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    One of the most intense and entertaining racing games on the PS2, complete with tight controls and impressive graphics.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    Gone are the days when your team of choice could score a dozen goals a period, performing incredible crosses at will. Instead, EA has decided to convert its popular franchise into a more simulation-oriented game, and the results are definitely pleasing.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    These additions are sound--they extend and expand on the original game's context in meaningful ways--though they might have given a stronger impression if Black Knight weren't a full year older than, and just as expensive as, its predecessor.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    It's a solid but unremarkable addition to the aging tactical shooter.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 44 Critic Score
    When the first wave of frustration passes, you'll realize that Conflict Zone is a subpar RTS game whose few good ideas just don't add up.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    In addition, Dig Dug Deeper's relative lack of difficulty, levels, and complete lack of extra modes and features make it difficult to recommend to even the most ardent Dig Dug fan.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    This is perhaps the ultimate example of an incomplete online game with more glaring defects than properly working features.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    Burns bright, but not as long as you'd like. It's an excellent sequel in that its puzzles and combat have evolved to the next level, and it provides a compelling, if not wholly satisfying, storyline.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    It's pretty darn good.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    Yes, AVP2 lets you save anywhere...It's better than the original "Aliens vs. Predator," and it's one of the best action games released so far this year.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    For serious RPG fans who couldn't care less about the Final Fantasy brand of flash, though, it's hard to envision a more appropriate game.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    If you want wild off-road racing, 4x4 EVO 2 usually delivers, warts and all.
    • 45 Metascore
    • 39 Critic Score
    An oversimplified arcade racer without a drop of the wildness or excitement that the best arcade racers offer.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    There's definitely a lot to do, and MXRider will last a long time, especially for those of you who feel the need to get everything out of a game.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 92 Critic Score
    It's back with a vengeance...in short, a triumphant proclamation that strategy gaming is alive and well and still able to keep you rooted in front of your computer for hours at a time.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    A faster, sexier, more engaging, and more enjoyable game...essentially a better-looking and more fun version of the original.
