Not an overly complex program. It is fast-paced, and action packed. The game does have a few setbacks, but overall is a solid combat sim.

I can’t think of the last time I sat down to play a game and I smiled so much that my face actually started to hurt. That’s what Klonoa 2: Lunatea’s Veil did for me.

Hit this one with a steel chair before throwing it out of the ring.

Unless you have a lot of extra fifties lying around, spend your money elsewhere.

Very polished and well developed.

If you like slow-motion dives, guns blazing, the deft tuck at the end of the jump and the roll up to a shooting stance, the perceptible flash from the muzzle of a gun that pinpoints the position of the enemy, bodies flying backwards as bullets impact them, then you will absolutely love this game.

Easy to pick up, fun to play, and highly addictive anyway you cut, slice and dice it.

A new twist on an old favorite. Its graphical elements are engaging, and the player interface is familiar. This is a solid title.

When its all said and done, this game has a very arcade feel to it, and aside from unlocking new levels and helicopters, and getting the best grade on each mission, there really isn't a lot of depth. But that is not always a bad thing.

The lack of continual play is a drawback...This smacks too much of recent games to earn a truly high score.

Now if this sounds like a lot of work, it is which just makes this one of the best games on the market.

Incredible eye candy combined with awesome game play and complete physical realism make this game stand out above the rest. It was well worth the wait.

The graphics will not sate the eye-candy hungry PS2 player, the plot is not particularly compelling and with the frequency of the load times and frequent (and repetitive) random battles, progress may be considered by some to be unforgivably tedious and slow.

This game will teach you how to lay off the throttle to effectively negotiate challenging courses.

Very solid overall and the bottom line is that it is extremely fun to play.

It does have a lot to do with crime and criminals, but without the suspense and comedy.

Good RPG’s are few and far between and while those addicted to eye-candy might not be as interested in these titles, they are fantastically addictive while maintaining a good plot and well-established battle systems.

The slowdowns in the game are semi-frustrating, while the 'adult' nature of the program is overstated. The program is a terrific combination of gaming elements.

Lord of Destruction’s improvements make replaying Diablo II seem like playing a new game...This program is a blast.

Suspense is what makes movies and games scary. Alone 4 is seriously lacking this important attribute.

If this game does have a niche, it would be in the realm of parent and child competing against each other in an obvious alternative to a shooter-style program.

Full of adventure, action, intrigue and suspense. You will be required to use your brain, and your strategic fighting skills to survive the course before you. But it is quite an amazing and enjoyable venture.

It just seems that even with the unique ideas and pretty graphics, they never quite managed to pull it all together, and its just not all that much fun.

There is a bevy of great characters that course throughout the game, making it ever intriguing and solid fun.

This one delivers on the most part, but I would have liked to see a little less humor and a little more in challenges to be met.

This game is tough – but from my general experience, this is what survival horror games are all about.

It just reminds me of a few other strategy games from a few years ago, which no one plays anymore. This concept has already been done too many times.

This is an incredible program, and could well be the RTS that will push the genre into new heights of graphic design.

Bottom Line is, although it is flawed this game still kicks major ass with steel tipped boot.

Features great graphics, amusing animation, and terrific game play.

A well-done game, rife with action on landscapes you’ve probably seldom seen.

Fun, challenging and addictive.

Provides enough of a rush to deal with the fact that the game tends to get a little monotonous.

If you are a big music fan, and are willing to spend countless hours customizing your music, you should definitely check this game out. Otherwise, a rental will probably do.

Unfortunately, the gameplay is marred by an awkward control system that requires constant micro management of multiple targets, and an annoying way of layering the map so that buildings disappear and reappear all the time.

A great game for the soldier while in reserves or the history buff but for the everyday gamer it may be too technically challenging with two little reward.

What the game brings to the fore is intense, hard-driving racing, great graphics and solid sound.

Challenging and addictive. If you aren't a die hard golfer you probably won't find this game enjoyable. The main thing this game is lacking is the ability to play the course you built.

This game rocks along the rails, providing a very close experience to the actual experience of riding or working for a railroad. From traversing the mountain passes to rolling along scenic coastlines, this is a wonderful outing.

The game is more reflexive than cerebral, but still a lot of fun.

Lacks originality but does manage to entertain.

It may not be as sleek as some of the other racing games on the market, but is has certainly carved out its own place of individuality among the others, which is not an easy task as all gamers know.

A great game because it takes interaction with your game environment to a new and remarkable level. But it doesn't stop there.

This game is fun, addictive and fast-paced. It may not be entirely original, but it does hold its own in the world of PS driving sims.

A terrific PlayStation title. It is complicated, features solid graphics, high-flying player-controlled action and outstanding soundtrack.

Unfortunately I was very disappointed with just about everything. From the mission briefing, right up through the mission debriefing where you obtain all your stats. The graphics were archaic for lack of a better word.

The feel of the arcade makes a successful transfer into an exciting and forever entertaining game that teaches everyone to respect those time honored heroes: the cabbies.

Whether trying to negotiate a canyon under fire at a high speed in a tutorial, or trying to target without flying in a straight line for too long least you get blown from the sky, Echelon is simply superb graphically.

This may be amusing to a casual gamer, or even a beginner. Replay value is negative zero.

Will it appeal to a wide number of players? Probably not. But it is a game that flight sim fans should give a try, if for no other reason that to round out their experience within the genre.

This product has great graphics, and solid game play. If there is a failing, it is the electronic manual, but the program interface helps guide players through the fundamentals.

Graphically, "Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX" is about the best that you're going to see in a Playstation title.

The game fails to tread new water in the field. It may have been a solid title, without the Pearl Harbor title, five years ago. It is a fair arcade, third-person perspective flight sim, and nothing more.

Like every Gauntlet game, the multi-player action that will keep you coming back for more. Gauntlet is in effect, the party game.

The problem with sequels in this day of technology is that you expect the game to be even more tech friendly than the last and this one has not used the technology to its zenith.

If you are new to the game, buy Halls of Valhalla – the expanded multiplayer options will make the overall experience more enjoyable.

Maintaining high standards of visual and technical expertise, while valiantly tackling the formidable task of creating a game to appeal to an almost impossibly wide audience, Lucas Learning has created a game that is worthy of praise.

A renter. Even a close source to me who is a long time devotee to the series seemed a bit uncertain as to whether or not he was impressed with the game.

Although based on the AoE formula, enough new gameplay ideas to keep the jaded real-time strategy gamer and history buff alike playing for a good long time to come. If you have the patience and time, I suggest you check out this game.

It is incredibly well rendered, with an amazing soundtrack and it sports many of the elements of the higher-end civ games, without the baser responses, such as warfare.

A must-have for any fan of the show. It is amusing and entertaining.

This is definitely one of those games that you find yourself playing over and over and each time the fight will be totally different in more ways than one.

This game is one of those games, which will be played for hours, and after played leave you with a good feeling for no apparent reason.

It is one of those games, which can be played by family members as well as a party group. It is fast paced, well done, and never a dull moment.

Some of the controls are a bit unorthodox and admittedly they take a bit of getting used to. Though once you get them down, you'll never want to play any other way.

This is what multiplayer gaming is all about. It's "Tribes" on steroids.

The problem with the controls is that they don't seem accurate, causing sloppy game play.

Beyond the radioactive bread products Bioware has created and intricate and bizarrely funny game that should delight followers of the series and newbies alike.

New features aside, this is the original Ultima Online spiced up a bit, but hoping to appeal to a new core of gamers. In reality, what this game offers is a cyber place to meet, greet and do battle.

Actually the only deterrents to partying all the time are comfort points, energy levels, work schedules and NPC Sims that sometimes don’t like to be called late at night.

The fighting was fun but only to a point. After the endless battles with little variation even the fighting became tedious. Once that happened it was merely a matter of waiting for the game to end. Fortunately it was not a long wait. The game is ridiculously short.

An incredible game that features great AI, music, graphics and story.

If you take the time and play this game, without letting your bias towards the PC/online version get in the way (as I almost did), I think you'll find that it's a great game overall.

In Cold Blood is not a terrible game, but there is nothing really special here.

While keeping the very essence of RPG without having to learn all the nitty gritty details, Summoner can give you a good show for your gaming money without causing beginners to take Gaming Math 101.

Nice to see a game that gets back to the basics of FPS genre with puzzles, storyline, TONS of killing bad guys, and end-of-level bosses.

Combines a solid interface with an intriguing storyline. In addition, the multiplayer options make Outlive stand above its competitors.

The game lacks any of the extra touches that make something special, especially a Trek game. The game does succeed in the basics. Its playable, the graphics are adequate.

I have to tell you that this game is one of those games, which makes you glad you decided to become gamer decades ago.

It may not be the best game on the market in either the civilization or strategic warfare genre, but it is a terrific combination of both.

Where Fate of the Dragons distinguishes itself is in the undercurrent of town management. This program is much more user friendly, less a micromanager style of play, and quite enjoyable.

An immensely detailed if not immensely exciting game.

This is one game which you will not only need a steady hand but also an eagle eye.

The controls are almost too easy. Some may be disappointed that you are forced to use the analog stick, both when batting and when pitching.

The sound makes me want to kill.

Frantic arcade style that’s both fun to play, yet frustrating to control at times.

This game is a relatively short play, as it can easily be finished in one day. Even though Konami™ claims that there are ten "massive" chapters; don't be fooled, they aren't "massive" in any sense.

This is one of those racing games, which is as much fun for a die-hard racer as someone who just enjoys the challenge of racing itself.

It is lacking mostly in the game play department, which frankly, isn't very exciting. It presents little variability and this allows it to get old fairly quick.

When you are so familiar with the characters, it is often difficult to switch from movie to game and still have the characters true to form. This game has done it beautifully. It is one of those games, which is for kids but also brings out the kid in all of us.

Hey, you don’t have to build a thriving city, you just have to service it – and therein lies the challenge and charm.

More than an impressive atmospheric shooter, but any in-depth work that was done to develop a unique and captivating plot for Undying can too conveniently and too easily be ignored or disposed of.

Spell-binding, addictive, visually delightful.

The graphics are breathtaking. After minutes of play the real world around you just seems to melt away...May many, many hours of great gameplay be with you!

But I could not help but enjoy this program, even with the blood and mutilation modes turned on, because of the ‘feel’ of the game (the nice sense that the world was one where common elements, like light and even gravity – throwing objects is very cool – have meaning).

Everything about this game is solid. Unfortunately there is nothing about it that will knock you into next week.

When something is put together that, at first look, seems so simple, yet challenges by pumping the intensity level and challenging players to use their reflexes and brain, it qualifies as a game that is a great experience.

The game has some disappointing quirks in play but the plot music and graphics come together perfectly.
