A year-old game newly ported to the PC that plunges players into a world of bad camera angles and overwrought control elements.

This is one of the most action filled and intense gaming experiences that I have had to date.

The repetitive, been there, done that track design bring this racer to a screeching halt. Fun? Yes. Long-lasting entertainment? No.

The levels are fun to figure out and Barbie moves fluidly and well. However, the sneaking bit can get sticky as the game progresses, even on the easy level.

Freestyle control allows unparalleled dribbling and defensive control.

The graphics are great and the gameplay, though a little sluggish, is just plain fun.

The freestyle controls are excellent and the graphics are easily the best of any basketball game available for the GameCube.

The game’s presentation feels a bit dated compared to games like "Tony Hawk 4" or even "Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX 2."

A simplistic arcade game that features wonderful cartoon graphics.

Quite enjoyable, with good graphical elements and diverse game play.

Wonderfully stylish.

People who don't mind redoing puzzles will enjoy the mental challenge, but others may become bored or frustrated and quit.

This is by far one of the most disappointing and seemingly unfinished games that I have ever played in my entire life.

The time control elements are so unique and the corresponding graphic effects are so cool that you'd be a fool to miss out on them.

Plays like an authentic NBA game. Teams shoot around the 40% Field goal percentage range, dunks are down, and finding the open man is essential. And I for one, am quite pleased.

The most appealing aspect is the game's length. Hot Pursuit 2 is one of the longest racing games out there.

A great multiplayer mode. Playing by yourself could use some work, but if you don't mind the unintelligent cops, or the racers that seem to ignore everything around them, there are 33 cool levels to enjoy.

The sluggish pace may be a bit too much for gamers who need a fast and furious racing game, but those with the patience to get past the speed issue will find a good arcade-style racer with some great ideas.

The camera views are awful, and Taz many times will end up getting into a corner where the view is totally blocked. There are buttons to toggle the camera view, but this is awkward to do while running, and it often just spins the camera around in a 180 degree arc.

Every mission is a blast to play, with its incredible freedom, and the fact that no matter what you do, you’re going to have fun doing it. The game is stunningly realistic and stylish, and polished to a T.

Hitman 2 will really earn major points for the open-ended game design. With numerous ways to complete one mission, this will be a game that will get a lot of playtime.

With its arcade-style power-ups, turned-based combat system and group combat management, this is a game that presents challenge and adventure.

Ultra violence at its most satisfying with a rich story that will have you cheering for Agent 47 every blood soaked step of the way.

Manipulating the camera indoors seemed impossible which really hampered gameplay as some missions require you to search for items.

The graphics and audio track are superb, and the player interface, with its customizable game play options, all add up for one amazing and enjoyable experience.

The new features, especially the dynamic deke control are remarkable and may warrant an upgrade from a previous version for the true hockey fans.

Keep in mind though that the sole focus of this game is on the battle elements, which, for most people, should be good news.

Along with stellar sound effects, voiceovers, and groovy spy movie theme songs, No One Lives Forever 2 provides a feast for your senses.

From the minute you install the game you will be amazed how wonderful this game looks, and plays.

It's still longer than the first game, and is better and more exciting than most of the other racers out there.

While it’s got some great eye candy, V-Rally 3 turns out to be pretty average in the gameplay department.

With sports games, it all comes down to control, and EA’s NHL 2003 is one of the best in the business.

The experience of NASCAR Thunder 2003 can be summed up in four words...replayability, challenge, realism, and FUN!

Promising some great new features and customizable gameplay, it just doesn't do much to improve on the basics-- which is the essence of the game. In fact, the best thing about the game is not the play at all, but rather the commentary.

The limited life-span and confounded level layout relegates this title to mediocrity.

Plagued by sound that's not so good and a very challenging difficulty level, this isn't quite one we'd expect to wear the Ferrari name.

If you love the series this is a must have.

All the game’s faults take away from the experience of what could have been a really entertaining survival-horror game with plenty of action and scares.

An average arcade shooter. However, the game is not at all exciting enough to grab most gamers’ attention for any long period.

Has enough wonderful extra and multiplayer maps to add more fuel to Ghost Recon’s highly entertaining fire.

Career mode steals the ball and dribbles down the floor, passes to gameplay, gameplay passes the ball to graphics, graphics dribbles the ball off its foot. That about sums it up.

To be fair this game does succeed in making the cartoon come to life, and is fun to play, while it lasts.

Taking place in a barren desert is a nice twist and makes the player go for some other strategy that he may not be used to while playing similar games where resources are plentiful.

While the designers of this game evidently took a lot of time on it as evidenced by the rich details, the gameplay itself just isn't very fun.

The best stunt driving game I've played all year. It's challenging, but not to the point where you'll risk losing your sanity.

Fans of the Robotech series should be highly impressed. Others … well maybe, maybe not.

With multiplayer addiction to spare, a Chain Reaction twist on the decade-old formula and a new candy-colored coat of 2D hand-drawn paint, Super BAM 2 improves enough over the two-year old prequel to still be worth checking out.

A fun detective adventure game, albeit one with a few gameplay problems. The game itself is not terribly long, either, so the longevity may be questionable.

Certainly not a "must-have" title, nor will it offer you a solid gaming experience, but it does give one the ability to create some very slick roller coasters, and give them a fairly realistic ride on them.

Sly Cooper is the first video game to directly parody the "Metal Gear Solid" series, and it does it really, really well.

What could have been a nice game for LOTR fans instead became a lesson in frustration because of the bugs.

A great game...The only things that slightly detract are the shortness of the overall game, and the sameness of many of the mini-games.

After about the sixth level of shooting anything that moves, players may get bored, unless they really like shooters.

There's nothing quite like training your crosshairs on a friend's head, squeezing the trigger, and watching all sorts of brain matter becoming wall decorations, and the multiplayer mode quenches this thirst like ice cold lemonade on a sticky summer afternoon.

Boasts incredible graphics and audio, but extremely linear gameplay.

Younger gamers out there will definitely have a good time and won’t find themselves getting stuck or frustrated too often. Unfortunately, the older and more experienced younger gamer out there may find this title to be somewhat dull overall.

It had its share of problems (mainly technical), and the music left a lot to be desired, but the gameplay was very addictive.

The game looks great, plays well, has a solid soundtrack, is user-friendly, and is enjoyable. What more could you ask for?

The modes, over 100 unlockable lures, unlockable characters, and more realistic gameplay definitely make it a good fishing title.

An admirable sequel with a fascinatingly lengthy quest, great characters and plenty to see and do.

After welcoming the precocious and mischievous fur-balls (and other assortment) into your home, you’ll wonder how you could have lived without them.

With huge levels, good game modes (Capture the Flag, Capture and Hold, Team Deathmatch and regular Deathmatch) and the speedy jet air packs, Tribes: Aerial Assault is the kind of online game I've been waiting for.

One of the best multiplayer games you'll find on the PS2. I loved it at the arcade and I love it at home. I just wish it was a new experience.

Worthy of a look from nostalgic gamers from the 16-bit era as well as people who didn’t play these games the first time around.

Hands down best wrestling game for the GBA so far!

Be warned … this game is EXTREMELY fun, but EXTREMELY challenging at the same time, so be prepared for lots of do overs while playing.

The controller will prove to be very frustrating and the other configuration really cheapens the game!

It is sad to see that a game of this caliber has not made the jump into this generation of gameplay.

There can be some frustrations with gameplay, but the overall experience is a positive one.

Sadly this game seems completely outdated despite the gorgeous visuals and excellent score and with nothing much to offer, gamers should go ahead and skip this one.

The linear nature of the game is a bit of a drawback, cutting down on replayability, but the game looks good and plays very well.

While its heavy-on-the-realism feature can be too realistically demanding the game’s racing fun does not slow down very much.

Stunning to look at and a joy to play. The racing dynamics are excellent, and everything is in place for the best racing experience to date on the GameCube.

Not for the casual game player who wants to jump in, develop and then walk away. This game requires you to roll up your sleeves and get down to some serious micro managing.

While playing through the film’s futuristic backdrop might seem very appealing, there are a number of features, such as the first-person controls, that could have been handled a lot better.

It adds so many little things that it will be worth the players hard earned cash. The Space Epoch itself is worth the price of it.

With much more precise controls and a much more solid camera, Taz: Wanted could have been one of those rare treats for gamers of all ages.

There are definitely flaws, but nothing that brings the game to a screeching halt.

Safe, sterile and redundant.

Impressive gameplay and stunning visuals make this one a must have for surfers and wannabes alike.

It presents a nice challenge, and has a solid options package.

The action isn’t quite as fulfilling or diverse as one might expect.

Bogeys when it comes to stability, but birdies in look and options for a par round of cyber golf.

A lot like Gradius or Raiden. You’re basically maneuvering around enemy fire while mashing on the fire button.

Has a few flaws, but its unique character pairings and jaw-dropping graphics make this a remarkable RPG.

If you can get past the games somewhat rough exterior and uninspired aural accompaniment than you’ll be in store for a thoroughly enjoyable game that will be played for years to come.

With smooth controls, stellar graphics, a killer soundtrack and enough extreme challenges to make Tony Hawk jealous, this is a title sport gamers will love.

Explosions, good lighting and cool particle effects are everywhere in Quantum Redshift. But the graphical effect that stands out the most is the subtlest of them all: water.

With over a hundred goodies to unlock, a franchise mode to die for and plenty of raw action, sports fans will not be disappointed.

One of the best elements of the game is the presentation. Everything is put together extremely well, with no down time, boring level introductions, or yawn-worthy commentaries.

A good action game that actually manages to make excellent use of its license.

A great take on the high paced hard hitting atmosphere of the rink.

If this weren’t a re-release or the Creator worked a little better I’d probably give it a 10.

Gamers looking for good Loony Tunes mayhem will be sorely disappointed with this game that looses its amusement pretty early.

A beautifully designed game that will appeal to all ages, and offer great opportunities for cooperative play between family and friends.

It doesn’t take full advantage of the GBA capabilities, but still has some charm and is enjoyable and challenging.

It has enough going for it to keep it enjoyable overall, and the hard challenge in later levels and difficulties can be part of the fun for some.

A bloodless hack-and-slasher that goes nowhere and will leave gamers feeling truly disappointed.
