    • 87 Critic Score
    Both exciting and entertaining, while at the same time it doesn't rob gamers of a decent simulation experience.
    • 91 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    It may not be the best-looking PC game available, but Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 has a solid look and a level of replay value that's unmatched by any game of its type.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Lacks any real punch and stands as the quintessential middle-of-the-road off-roading game.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 96 Critic Score
    Graphically, the game has taken a very large leap, and the arcade version of the game looks downright ugly by comparison.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    Overall, the game feels a little rushed with its easy-way-out track design.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    While hard-core hockey types may eventually tire of the arcade-heavy gameplay, NHL 2001 is still a solid playing hockey game that will satisfy the needs of most players.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Though the game gets a little dry and repetitive after a while, the limitless opportunities found in the multiplayer modes and the insane vehicular stunts that make up a good portion of the game's action make it a worthy addition to any driving fan's game library.

    • 84 Critic Score
    An extremely fun arcade-style racer.

    Dynasty Warriors 2's beat-'em-up gameplay is simple enough to make it easy to get in to, and the game is interesting enough to keep you entertained for a while.
    • 95 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Some will appreciate the game's differences, while others will find the game's focus on minigames and side quests tedious and slightly out of place.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 89 Critic Score
    It's an inviting, fast-paced, technical rally game that offers enough replay value and features to satiate any racing audience.
    • 38 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    The bottom line with Deep Raider is that you should avoid it at all costs.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    While Links 2001 isn't sufficiently superior enough to pull anyone away from "PGA Championship Golf," it'll definitely please Links fans, especially once the promised course-converter becomes available.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    While Summoner may not realize all of its lofty goals, it is still a good RPG with a solid storyline and an excitingly unconventional take on the RPG genre.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 38 Critic Score
    Clunky and unpolished.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    A fun, strategic game that doesn't ram reality down your throat.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    Those who may be looking for another "SSX" will certainly be disappointed by X-Games' sim-styled approach, but those who are looking for a true-to-life snowboarding experience will be overjoyed.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 52 Critic Score
    Just shy of average - there's nothing particularly bad here, but what little good it has is purely incidental and generally ignorable.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    Thanks to a slick presentation, diverse gameplay, and overwhelming customization options, the game certainly comes close.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 66 Critic Score
    As you may expect from this genre developed by From Software, there is a good story integrated into the game, but somehow your character, Cain, lacks personality and the ability to interact with the rest of the characters in the game.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Like the original Legends, the sequel features an entertaining and overall lighthearted feel, but this time with slightly more serious overtones.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Even though it's not quite up to prevailing standards, Speedball 2100 still packs quite a bit of wallop.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 54 Critic Score
    Many games try to test your skill, but Super Runabout works to exercise your sense of frustration.
    • 50 Metascore
    • 53 Critic Score
    Too simplistic for fans of the strategic military genre, and too slow and complex for anyone looking for a high intensity shooter.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 46 Critic Score
    The added training mode in the home version doesn't make up for the fact that you can master the game in less than a day.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    Fans of the N64 duo of "GoldenEye" and "Perfect Dark" should definitely give this one a try.
    • 91 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    The level of detail in the game's presentation and feel is so dramatically superior to previous football games, it's unbelievable.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    The disjointed nature of Orphen is unfortunate, because it's easy to envision great gameplay experiences being the product of its game system.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 53 Critic Score
    If it weren't for the overly touchy control and the game's overall lack of difficulty and length, X-Squad could have been a contender.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 54 Critic Score
    Thanks to its great graphics, just watching your soldiers as they storm across the battlefield killing bugs is actually pretty fun - for a while, at least.
