May leave gamers feeling a bit unfulfilled because of the lack of features and game modes.

Once you snag a power-up and begin pummelling the competition, you'll be hooked. The multiplayer mode is where Cel Damage really shines.

The animation is fine, the environmental graphics simplistic, but this still manages to be a nice RTS for the GBA platform.

The quintessential game of serendipity... The best shooter ever made.

Aside from the various terrains and many skiers to choose from, this title has the right idea of combining an extreme sports attitude with just the right touch of fantasy.

Saying that Blood Wake is fun to play would be a huge understatement.

The huge amount of variety, great storyline, and intuitive gameplay makes this game one that fans of just about every genre should check out.

The sluggish controls could have been overlooked if the game was fun, but NFL QB Club 2002 just isn't that exciting.

The people who will enjoy Restless Dreams the most are the ones who already own the game for PlayStation 2 (myself included). Gamers who never played SH2 before will not be able to appreciate all of the subtle differences, but they will be able to appreciate the graphics and the gameplay just as much as everyone else.

While this program might not be as intense as "Halo," it will be a definite delight for Star Wars fans, and should even satisfy those who are RPG fans.

The gameplay as a whole is lethargic and inaccurate.

With some innovative visuals, more involved gameplay, and spunky plot - Jade Cocoon 2 places itself a step above the rest.

I admire Final Fantasy X's emotional and spiritual depth. There is never a time that we can't feel the pain and the struggles of our heroes.

Even with the lower sound rating, Capitalism II commands a very high overall rating.

Dune features an especially awkward control system requiring you to switch between overly complicated keyboard controls and overly simplified mouse functions.

A delightful little game with solid graphical elements and difficulty levels that will challenge most players.

The gameplay, the one thing that stood out most about the Mortal Kombat series, is flawed. I played with all of my favorites -- both Sub-Zeros, Kabal, Cyrax, Ermac, Sindel and Scorpion. Of those seven characters, six of them did not function properly at all.

If only the battle system, so integral to the enjoyment of a game, wasn't so blasé, Shadow Hearts could have easily jumped up into one of the best surprise games of the year.

Somewhat typical of arcade-style console games, though the graphical elements are quite good.

Graphically this game does not live up to Game Boy Advance standards.

Elite Force had the potential to be not only a really stellar first-person shooter but also a Star Trek title that would surpass all others. Yet its sometimes-sloppy graphics, constant interruptions and substandard enemy AI dull things considerably.

A very, very good motocross/freestyle program, featuring excellent graphical elements and sound. If this is the type of game you enjoy, you won’t find many better (at the moment) in the world of either console or PC games.

This is more than a reflexive challenge – it requires that you understand the essence of the program, and then apply that knowledge in order to succeed.

The faces of the characters, including your lead, Jarik, seem disfigured and unattractive - definitely not even close to seeming geared towards a PS2 system.

The gameplay is what makes Jak and Daxter what it is: a masterpiece.

The kind of game you can’t get out of your mind. Though frustration may make you set it down (I limited myself to about an hour a run) it’s a game you can always come back to.

The game flow is very nice, the different levels seem huge, the animated effects are well rendered, and the game offers a nice variety of foes.

The sound track leaves something to be desired. The music is good, and the effects are typical or what one would expect, but the vocal characterizations are not that good, and the game is laced with strong language (profanity).
