Graphically the game is astounding! This is easily the best-looking racing title on the PC this year.

It isn't the prettiest thing out there, and there are a few rough edges here and there when it comes to bombing and the like, but otherwise, it's a decent simulation that'll have you cheering as you attack Japanese and German bases.

If you're a fan of the sweet science, pick up a copy of KO Kings for the PS2 you won't regret it.

To all the PC nuts that are reading this, imagine "Motocross Madness 2" with 4 wheels and you know what to expect from this PlayStation 2 classic.

Considering that Insane's graphics are fantastic and it has enough gameplay diversity in its numerous modes to keep people playing for hours on end, it's disappointing that the one of the most basic features of a racing game, its control, ultimately drags the game into the mud.

Not only is Paper Mario a superb RPG, but it's also another quality N64 game that simply shouldn't be missed.

In spite of its upgrades, Revolution suffers in some areas compared to other versions of Rayman 2, particularly the Dreamcast game.

The combat in the game can be a blast at times, but the awkward control and super precision of the enemies often makes it more difficult than it needs to be.

It is difficult to recommend Driving Emotion Type-S to anyone who is not a hardcore fan of the driving sim genre, or those with a short fuse. Those that fall within that narrow vertical and don't mind tweaking, tuning, and testing to the extreme, may find some enjoyment with the game.

Like the original "Diablo," the game offers an insidiously addictive style that you'll be hard pressed to pull yourself away from.

The combat is what really grabs this game and barely keeps it from sinking into oblivion.

An average action RPG when it was released on the PC two years ago, and the transition from the PC to the PlayStation certainly has not been the easiest for the game.

An enjoyable change of pace and presents enough atmosphere, and solid gameplay to entertain, just don't expect any of it to be easy.

Forget "Lemans," forget "Ferrari F355," forget "Gran Turismo 2," and forget "Ridge Racer V," this is the new king of racers.

The graphics have received a much needed boost (though at the cost of some nasty side effects), and the gameplay is still decent, but there are definitely better pickings out there.

With 20 characters, various training missions, and a surprisingly fun 2-player mode, there is a lot to be played in Kengo.

It may not have the flashy summons of the "Final Fantasy" series or an innovating attack system like "Vagrant Story," but what it lacks in other fields it makes up for in real character and originality.

Almost every aspect of Lion King is simply acceptable. As a result, Lion King doesn’t suffer from any glaring flaws but it also doesn’t give you a terribly compelling reason to buy the game.

A polished, tried and true gameplay experience, that, while not necessarily the most innovative, is a heck of a lot of fun.

I thoroughly enjoyed my trek through the games' magical world, and the only thing keeping this title from achieving an A rating is that it shares the common problem with most RPG's today: once it's over, it's over.

This is a good expansion, but for its time maybe not the best it could have been.

If you want an exciting starship combat simulator that presents some real challenge, this is the best.

RFS's gameplay is completely off the wall fun, and despite its quirky premise, kept me coming back for more time and time again.

It's the best thing since Sliced Bread, other than its sequel, Sliced Bread II: Electric Boogaloo.

It is innovative, it is humorous, it is intense, and most of all, it's a heck of a lot of fun.

This isn't just an upgrade my friends, it's the real deal.

Colin McRae Rally 2 has surpassed a lot of expectations, providing yet again one of the most incredible driving experiences around.

A boring, repetitive, bad looking platformer that follows the same footsteps as everything released before it, and there is no real reason to give it a look. And if you think your kids might enjoy it, think again; it's sure to frustrate them to no end.

The game is an average ride, but the gameplay comes up shallow.

Topware Interactive has made a solid real-time strategy title with some interesting gameplay elements, but buyers should research a little and know what they are buying into before the final purchase.

More than 75% of the time a mission entirely changes from the original mission parameters (though you usually do end up completing them), and this is what makes entering a new mission of Starlancer such an interesting experience.

The game does offer some good thrills and hours of fun, but just may get repetitious before it's all said and done.

FIFA not only sports fantastic controls, but beauty to go along with it's other two outings ("Madden" and "NHL"). Is it just as good as the other two? You betcha!

The game feels like old-hat and the limited gameplay changes have the Tomb Raider series making a small leap in improvement.

I have been playing MW4 ever since the beta came out around a month ago, and I still don't think I will be putting it down for a while. MW 4 has everything that MW 3 failed to offer.

The actual game is such a mess that even hardcore action gamers will think twice about ridding the world of vampires.

The game plays well, but really hurts in presentation, graphics and sound.

A far better game pound for pound that any other Civilization game made. But for a gaming paradigm that has been around for almost ten years, there's no reason for the genre to still be stumbling over the same problems over and over, and that's exactly what's happening here.

Gunman Chronicles isn't a terrible game, I just suspect many of us have been there and done that.

Speaking of play mechanics, I can honestly say that I haven't had this much fun playing a game in a very long time. Not only do the controls harbor the utmost precision, but the camera has been refined as well.

I urge each and every one of you to get at least a keyboard before doing so. You'll save yourself a whole mess of frustration if you do.

We are left with a mediocre title that only keeps shooter fans mildly entertained till we can get our hands on "Gradius III" for the PS2.

This Journey won't be to everyone's taste, but for those who salivate at the idea of one of the best-written graphical adventures ever seen, it's one well worth taking.

All in all I really enjoyed Maximum Pool, far more than the offerings provided in the last couple of years. It's easy, fun, and online. What more do you need to know?

It's an average game that suffers from mediocre implementation. Torneko: The Last Hope simply isn't very fun to play.

The game gets the C rating due to its overwhelming childish style, yet the game is more enjoyable than you would think.

The final problem that really kills the title is its length and lack of replay value. There are only 10 stages plus the final boss which only take you about 40 minutes to plow through.

Encompasses fantastic graphical prowess with equally fantastic gameplay and depth.

It just does everything in the most solid way possible. An intriguing storyline, characters you actually care about, tried and true FF gameplay, a memorable soundtrack, beautiful, polished graphics, and not many crazy "systems" to learn and master.

While it fits the sport very well, this is one sport meant for playing in the sun and not on a console.

"Diddy Kong Racing 2" it is not, but for many gamers out there, that might very well be a good thing.

Most players will feel disappointed by Sonic Shuffle, especially if they expect a game of the same quality as other Sonic ones. Overall, Sonic Shuffle isn't awful, but the Dreamcast's library offers plenty of better choices.

Though its cartoony visual style may be a turn-off to some, Skies of Arcadia is one of the most beautiful and overall well-constructed RPGs in recent memory.

A shining example of bringing together a wide variety of different ideas, executing them with a ever-engaging style, and delivering a polished product that is a thrilling experience from beginning to end.

As strange as it might seem, Rc De GO is actually bounds better than most of the racing titles that have hit the PlayStation and lately, and anyone looking for something slightly off the wall would do best to give Acclaim's latest a try.

Capcom vs. SNK may not have as an impressive roster or flashy supers but it does bring together the two worlds we thought would never collide.

Despite the sometimes-baffling challenges (which, in all honesty, are pretty typical to the genre), EMI delivers exactly what the Monkey Island name promises-a lighthearted, entertaining, and well-written swashbuckling adventure game.

Only a few redeeming qualities spare WCW Backstage Assault from the fiery depths of an F. Don't hate the playa, hate this game.

Younger players will probably enjoy 102 Dalmatians' characters and its decent but standard play mechanics. Older or more experienced players will prefer a different game.

Graphically this is one of the prettiest damn racing titles, not only on the DC, but any platform.

A surreal Viking-inspired experience that turns itself into is a somewhat simple hack 'n slash action game, but a very, very fun one, at that.

The technology is behind the curve, the control is too sensitive and cumbersome, but the variation in gameplay saves the title from the ever-increasing abyss of forgetful games based on movies.

Shenmue II literally is 5 times the game Shenmue: Chapter 1 is...an incredible experience for me, from start to finish. The core gameplay formula isn’t much different from the first game, just packed with more action and improvements.

I'll admit I know nothing about NASCAR, but I do know speed and this game lacks it and more.

I had a difficult time even playing this game for more than half an hour. It's simply so boring and mundane that I can't see anyone over the age of 10 enjoying this game.

Nose/tailslides, nose/bluntslides, varial flips, a multitude of new grabs, expanded inverts, lip tricks, manuals, and more realistic switch skating are all included.

The most original game of the year, and also one of the best.

It has an awesome single player experience, decent multiplayer, steady frame rate and an extensive array of weapons and gadgets.

All in all, this game has really stepped up and maybe outshines its football equivalent. It didn't have to sacrifice much on graphics to add the new features, which is nice...oh so nice.

This baby is driving for real. Enjoy, or don't enjoy...there is no try.

Doesn't provide as many scares or value as the Rustin Parr installment did, but it's still worth the measly $20 that it costs; it will, at the least, make you jump up in your seat a few times.

Every course and environment in SSX is stunning.

I consider it one of the best games to be released in the past 3 years.

Lacks a lot of polish, and I mean a lot. The interface feels really slapped together, and could have used a lot more work.

There's a nice, big wave to surf on, but the clunky mechanics and boring objectives in the game make it a complete wipe out.

Tecmo has gone the extra mile by including tons of extras in addition to the already spectacular gameplay and graphics that was already there.

With better racing games, like "Ridge Racer V," "Midnight Club," "Smuggler's Run" and "Moto GP," there isn't much need for an average off-road racer.

Although TTT doesn't innovate or provide tons of replay value options as Namco's Dreamcast opus "Soul Calibur," it is nearly perfect in what it does--and it is guaranteed to provide you with hours upon hours of solid fighting enjoyment.

The graphics are great, the music is awesome, and the control I surprisingly found, not as annoying as the previous RR titles.

You get a lot of slowdown my friends, which don't necessarily effect game play much, but does hamper the looks a bit.

A title that fuses together a fresh premise, the most remarkable draw distance out there and addictive gameplay that makes a habit of making you come back for more.

A nice breakaway from the norm of arcade racing games, and is definitely worth a look for its impressive visuals and addictive (but sometimes a little on the frustrating side) gameplay.

It's high on presentation and style, but the short time it takes to beat it doesn't warrant a purchase.

It's easily the best game I've played so far this year on the N64 (although Banjo-Tooie might be a strong contender) and will remain one of my favorite games for a long time to come.

GGB does not have much in the way of storyline -- a continuation of the previous Gungriffon games' post-apocalyptic military scenario -- or extras, but it doesn't need those things. It is extremely fast and fun and easy to play, and it is a solid title worthy of buying.

While the PS2 seems to have helped improve the visuals ten fold, From Software wasn't able to work out the gameplay kinks to round everything out.

The combination of pretty new graphics, the same old music and the same old control is something of a spade.

Player models are just as lacking in detail and design -- chunky and clumsy looking, nothing intimidating about them. One wouldn't even expect this from a first generation PlayStation game.

You can beat it and explore all that it has to offer in a couple of hours, but it's still a fun game.

What can easily be considered the best multiplayer title for the machine, and one of the best first person shooters released for a console so far.

To be blunt, I haven't been this addicted to one single game in a long time.

A poorly translated, and obvious first generation RPG. It doesn't stand out at all, and will be buried by plenty of other RPG's on the system.

Actually a decent squad-based action title that's not quite in the column of worth purchasing, but gamers looking for some mindless action with a few annoying problems will find X-Squad to be a weekend rental diversion.

A second rate boxing title that just can't cut it with "K.O. Kings."

It's definitely one of the best first person shooter experiences out there, and while it more of an expansion pack to MoH than an all new game, that doesn't detract it from being a must own for fans of the genre, the original game, and gaming all together.

With it's great game play, gorgeous graphical engine, and appealing extras, who can resist giving this game a "test drive"?

Despite my inability to pin down what really makes this title so special, it is easy to say that it is exactly this reason that I feel that it has actually one-upped the respected Pharaoh.

With over 30 warriors to choose from, and over 30 maps, this game will take a while to get old. No matter how you play this game though, you're sure to have a blast.
