    Wario World
    No-one was expecting a heavy, lengthy platformer, but neither the puzzly-jumping nor the fighting has been nurtured enough to shine through, and as it stands Wario World is a missed opportunity; not particularly bad, but certainly not what we'd expect from two of the finest developers in Japan.

    Rock 'N Roll Racing
    In the same way that The Darkness can get away with coming on stage dressed in bright pink PVC jump suits, Rock N Roll Racing can get away with being a straight port of a fun, over-the-top and cheese-filled experience.

    Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix
    It does lose points for omitting variety within its multiplayer setup.
    • 64 Metascore

    Mace Griffin Bounty Hunter
    And, if nothing else, danger truly defines the lot of a Bounty Hunter; it truly feels as if the environment is somehow calculating your defeat (or insurgence).

    Midtown Madness 3
    And as long as you follow good online etiquette and choose good people to play with, this is possibly the best example of how the Xbox Live experience should be... exactly how you want it to be.

    Wakeboarding Unleashed Featuring Shaun Murray
    This is all about gameplay, and the open-ended structure is a welcome respite from the usual - the controls are responsive, the challenges perfectly pitched, and the various multiplayer games provide plenty of depth and longevity.

    Donkey Kong Country
    A game of this overall technical sheen that can really make you smile and take notice, doesn't come along every day... in fact it comes along every nine years. If you've not sampled it before, now is the time.

    Brute Force
    We'd not recommend an outright purchase solely for the deathmatch, but the multiplayer campaign mode is brilliantly done.

    WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!
    There is nothing to be learned or mastered, other than your own quick reflexes, and while it is unfortunate that so many of the games are too similar and don't offer enough gameplay variety, the actual experience of working through them is both challenging and original, with comedy value and lush visuals to boot.

    MotoGP 2
    The benchmark that other Xbox titles should strive for: a solid combination of gameplay, graphics and variety.
    • 68 Metascore

    Lost Kingdoms II
    Looks good overall; those all-important cards are nicely detailed and the whole display is rendered in crisp resolution.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Enter the Matrix
    The main problem beyond the visual execution is the poor overall level design, which is one dimensional and linear.
    • 91 Metascore

    Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow
    Better graphics, sound, story, gameplay and style all add up to a brilliant action adventure with a touch of RPG about it.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Tides of War
    The game's difficulty is well-placed, with early scuffles leading to increased mania.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Burnout 2: Point of Impact
    Offers very little above the original Playstation 2 version.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    NBA Street Vol. 2
    Better than the original in every way, yet remains a perfect starting point for those new to the series - it's friendly, well presented and offers great value for both single player and multiplayer.

    Star Wars: The Clone Wars
    An average carnage based shooter, despite the strong designs and Star Wars origins. The improved multi-player options give this release a fresh impetus that raises it a notch, but no more.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Ikaruga
    Brilliant. It's hugely playable, graphically sublime and even more importantly, once again Treasure have raised the bar for top-down shooters.

    X2: Wolverine's Revenge
    Gamestyle found it laughable that this rogue superhero couldn’t jump onto a small ledge simply because it was deemed unnecessary – each time Wolverine was knocked back by an invisible force.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Golden Sun: The Lost Age
    The story does finally wrap itself up nicely, and the way you meet up with and fight against your former selves is a rarity handled well. Not a classic game, but very solid nonetheless.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Midnight Club II
    The graphics and overall feel of the game do not seem quite right.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Crazy Taxi: Catch a Ride
    When developers start stripping away essentials because the hardware cannot handle the strain, you must question the reasoning behind it. Was it really worth subjecting a world of gamers to this mess that barely resembles the original for the sake of a quick fare?
    • 89 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell
    It manages to deliver new ideas and concepts, but ultimately fails to make the classic impact; hopefully the sequel can build upon the good work here.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis
    Be it a comatose dinosaur that needs reviving, a fossil find that needs extraction, or research team that needs a project, everybody unfailingly 'needs' a little of your time.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Primal
    To get any satisfaction from Primal takes a great deal of effort and compassion, and this price will be too high for some of us.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Amplitude
    Without question a fantastic release, but not the glorious and blinding achievement that many have proclaimed.
    • 96 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
    The game design and detail is far beyond what other games offer, in fact it puts almost everything to shame.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    World Racing
    Sure, the graphics are splendid (and the in-car cockpit view is tremendous) but with such a limited array of cars prescribed by the license and the sad truth that the game doesn't really offer anything new, Gamestyle is hard pushed to really recommend it.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Pokemon Ruby Version
    Whilst its apparent lack of any revolutionary gameplay is a worthy of criticism, it doesn't stop the fact that this is still by far one of the most addictive and long-lasting games you could hope for on your Gameboy Advance.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Sonic Advance 2
    Slight negativity aside, Sonic Advance 2 represents Sonic at its best - fast, slick, looking great and offering yet more of those bonus features (now unlockable, however). Whilst technically there have been better Sonic games, none have managed to quite capture the frantic essence of speed and style like this does.
