Unfortunately, for PS2 owners, a vicious beat-down is delivered by the GameCube's less blurry, less angular crowds, and it wins by a split decision.

Doesn't quite match the Xbox and GameCube titles, but still good fun.

This is the over-the-top, pick-up-and-play fighter that's we've been missing for so long. It's far less complex than its top-rated contemporaries, but that's part of the fun.

Recommended only if you're uncontrollably and incomprehensively addicted to the original.

A good solid Bond game -- but there should have been more of it.

It does a decent job of holding its own against other Bond games from the past.

An excellent choice for someone who enjoys the genre. If only High Voltage and Interplay had paid due respect to the source material.

It's dripping with blood. Actually, it's submerged in a tank overflowing with bodily fluids, detached limbs, and severed heads. Saucy!

For those EQ players who are looking for a new addiction and were disappointed by "Anarchy Online," Neocron might just fit the bill.

Haven tries to go in several directions at once. Alas, rather than excelling, it ends up doing a fairly mediocre job of almost everything.

Very little felt new; even the final enemy encounter is heavily inspired by the endgame of "Super Metroid."

I pity the fool who doesn't at least consider renting it.

Offers more of the same fun and addictive gameplay as its predecessor, but no major innovations.

Yet another superhero game for the junk pile, ripe with so many run-of-the-mill bullet-points that even diehard fans will be turned off.

Great gameplay and incredible movie nostalgia.

Featuring brilliant visuals, edge-of-your-seat gameplay, and some of the best voice acting around, Splinter Cell is one of the best single-player experiences to come out this year... The best game on Xbox. Period.

One of the finest games I've ever played. I'm still reeling from how incredible my experience with the game was.

Under a slightly clumsy-looking graphical exterior lies a phenomenally deep fighting simulation.

A greater challenge wouldn't have hurt, but this is a fun game.

The excellent camera will thrill those whose stomachs are still churning from the dizzying "nausea cam" in "Mat Hoffman."

It combines clever missions, interesting character abilities, and a smidgen of resource management into an absorbing game that fans of the strategy will be playing for quite some time.

The improvements in the gameplay department went a long way towards making this the most realistic footie game to ever grace a next-generation console.

Manages to maintain an impressive level of graphical detail, particularly in the enemy models and background environments.

The biggest change in 2003 is how the ball handles... The ball feels much more separated from the players now, and the control even reflects this.

This port is shameful!

Drop-dead gorgeous... [but] one of Hegemonia's major failings is that its real-time combat is usually simplistic and dull.
