    The game can often be humorous, especially if you pay attention to the details in the scenery and the minigames you'll occasionally come across - but it still isn't especially exciting.

    A worthy enough "sequel" to the original and can deliver an adequate number of thrills, though nothing unique or surprising.
    • 72 Metascore

    Despite its ineffectual audio, Bugs & Taz: Time Busters does an excellent job of capturing the humor and personality that the Looney Tunes franchise embodies.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 48 Critic Score
    Though it has a few extra features like higher-quality full-motion video and an improved "dinosaur encyclopedia," it's really just an average game that you'd do well to pass up.

    It's a fantastic introduction to the MechWarrior series for those who haven't yet discovered it, and it should have enough depth to keep veterans involved for a long time.

    Blade lacks the energy of the film, the feel of the comic, and the standards set by other games in its genre.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Surprisingly one of the most satisfying role-playing experiences to be found on the PlayStation.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    Die-hard action-game players will find the game far too easy and much too tedious to be of any real value, but children and Dr. Seuss fans should be well satisfied.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    Features good level designs and a bit of variation on the tried-and-tried-again Tomb Raider formula, but there's too little in the way of innovation to make it seem like anything more than just another trip to the cash cow.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    If you look up the definition of the word "poor" in a dictionary, there's a good chance you'll see Army Men: Sarge's Heroes 2 staring back at you.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    Despite barely making the grade graphically, the game plays like a dream... A mere $40 investment stands between you and one of the best arcade-style motorcycle racing games the PlayStation has to offer.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    Though the game isn't perfect, it is a wonderful accomplishment on the part of the developers, and it is simply very fun to play.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 36 Critic Score
    The Dreamcast version's graphical flaws manage to wreck anything the game has going for it, leaving behind an ugly, unplayable mess.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    An interesting take on a classic concept, but as with many reinterpretations of canonical standards, it isn't better than its source material.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 53 Critic Score
    Seven modes of play, but none offer any real incentive to keep you playing the game past the first few beaches.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    While GC introduces some new gameplay conventions - such as the customizable weapons and controllable vehicle - that weren't attempted by the original Half-Life, it's nothing that prior user-created mods like Chemical Existence haven't done before.
    • 26 Metascore
    • 27 Critic Score
    The game has the worst combination of problems a boxing game could possibly have: sloppy controls, horrid animation, and poor collision detection. These detrimental factors ultimately make HBO boxing a bigger waste of money than the Tyson vs. Golata fight.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    The solid gameplay from the first game is there, and the game has more than enough modes to keep you entertained, but overall, WWF SmackDown! 2 is simply more of the same.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 96 Critic Score
    The challenging breadth of the adventure, the richly detailed graphics, varied gameplay, killer sound, and multiplayer mode all fuse into one amazingly fun experience.
    • 29 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    The game suffers from jerky animation, frequent instances of mindless AI, bland commentary, and a lack of options such as a franchise mode and online play.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    If multiplayer is not a big factor for you, Rogue Spear's single-player game is certainly worth the price of admission. It's long and challenging, and it features a unique style of gameplay that mixes thoughtful planning with tense action.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 52 Critic Score
    Even if you like the basic premise and action of the game, a number of very serious flaws quickly sap its entertainment value.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    SWD might seem like some half-baked attempt to cash in on the Star Wars license, though it's actually a competently executed game.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 53 Critic Score
    Overall, 007 Racing isn't polished enough to fill the needs of objective-based driving game fans. Fans of these types of games would be better served by "Driver 2."
    • 89 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    If you've stuck with THQ through its early WCW games and WWF Wrestlemania 2000, No Mercy may not be fresh enough to hold your attention.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    If a good 16-bit shooter is what you're looking for, you could do a lot better elsewhere.
    • 91 Metascore
    • 93 Critic Score
    One of the best adventure games in years.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    Those who've seen and played "Madden" on the PlayStation 2 will immediately see the difference and recognize that NFL GameDay 2001 is merely a PlayStation game posing as a PlayStation 2 product.
    • 32 Metascore
    • 44 Critic Score
    Its average gameplay and uninteresting levels create a game that doesn't warrant attention.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    Fans of the show or Greek mythology will enjoy controlling the familiar characters. Hercules isn't godly, but as a whole it's a decent adventure.
