If "Soul Calibur" (is) not perfect, it is without question the closest thing to it.

This game is a must have for any skateboarder or skateboard fan, and if you are a person looking for a game that will hold your attention span longer than an infomercial about George Foreman's lean mean cooking machine, by all means head to your local game retailer and purchase a copy of this game.

The framerate trouble brought the graphics down to 9.9, and even framerate problems you won't even notice most of the time because this game is so much fun.

From the moment I tried out this game I was hooked. This game is all it's cracked up to be.

One of the best FPS games I have played on a console since "Goldeneye" and "Perfect Dark."

This is one of the top 5 games graphically ever.

Is Goldeneye 007 another great game by Rare, Is 007 the best first-person shooter on any next-generation system... my answer is HELL YEA!

Enjoyable, captivating, and thrilling.

You can literally do anything you imagine. You can kill police officers, civilians; pick up hookers, etc with more than forty weapons at your disposal you will be frothing at the mouth. This game truly is a winner in the gameplay department.

In between the amazing and the boring is the meat of GT3, where you are offered the purest racing simulation available anywhere.

With a different storyline, an enhanced graphical engine, and a rather ingenious gameplay, Majora's Mask lets the N64 Zelda "series" end with a bang.

The game also includes a cool behind the scenes footage of the game and interviews with coverboy Marshall Faulk, John Madden, Al Michaels and Melissa Stark.

A perfect example of how it SHOULD be done... somehow the full size game has been crammed into the impossibly tiny (they are small aren't they? geez!) GBA cart.

Square went all out and put together a masterpiece that could only leave us all in anticipation of Final Fantasy X on the Sony Playstation 2.

With the new moves, combos and improved online play you’ll be playing this one forever.

Control wise, this setup is a major improvement over the stiff and cumbersome control scheme of RE series. Everything moves swiftly, smoothly, with dead on response to your button action.

Move over "Final Fantasy IX," I think we have new #1 contender for RPG of the year, and it is "Chrono Cross."

Great. It's just too short. It's original, stylish, cool, enjoyable, and is definitely meant to be played LOUD. I just couldn't believe it when after a few day's sporadic play I'd defeated all three gangs.

Quotation unavailable.

Teach your PS2 well, and the phrase “the A.I. sucks” will no never be spoken about this title.

This is definitely a game no game collection should be without...Seriously!

Once you have a highly tuned car, the game becomes a lot more enjoyable as you now have a fair chance against the other cars. It will take a long time to get to that stage.

With plenty of extra modes, flashy graphics, and excellent voiceovers, this could be the next step towards perfecting the 2D side of the Playstation fighters.

The music soundtrack is dead on, with fast and funky tunes delivering the adrenaline rush you so badly need to make you feel like a badass.

A home console first-person shooter has never looked this damn good.

NFL 2k3 seems to be aimed at more for those who have a touch of arcade football within them while "Madden 2003" is for the hardcore simulation gamer. Overall I would choose Madden 2003 as the winner of the football crown for this season by just a hair.

This game is true original that blends its own style with classic RPG elements to perfection.

Lastability for this game is one of the highest for any portable title.

"Gran Turismo" finally has a competitor up there for best racer of all time.

The Street Mode in itself really adds a lot to the game.

The music is outstanding. It sets the mood perfectly for each scene and makes you feel like you are really in the game.

With a standout graphical look to it, and the great traditional RPG style, Paper Mario is certainly one of the best RPG games out there.

Camera angles at its best. There is no need to control the camera angle if it's already position in the best possible matter – which seems to be how the camera works all the time. This is perfection at work.

This 3D polygon world is absolutely astounding.

From the second you put this game in; you will not want to stop playing. It might consume your life until you finish it, or until you get stuck that you can't deal with the stress anymore.

Overall, a very fun game to play, though a warning goes out to anyone who can get frustrated with games, as this game's difficulty can really frustrate and anger you at times as it had me.

Great RPG and certainly the best one on the PS2 currently, however, I feel it isn't as great as past FF's have been due to its lack of freedom.

The one drawback in my opinion would be the replay value, as many people would find it pointless to replay the entire game just for a few secrets, since the story is the main reason to play a game like this.

The missions are too short, the controls too slow, the graphics too dated, the characters too dull.

It absolutely is the best looking, sounding, and playing N64 game. It should not be missed.

The music almost has a Mario-like atmosphere to it although with some weird Japanese sound to it, which is great to hear while playing a platformer.

If you ever thought you'd see a fun Tennis game, this is certainly it, and probably one of the most fun games in any genre.

A highly enjoyable game, however everyone's tastes differ, and many people may be turned off by the puzzle solving and want more action.

Though the shortness of a game may sound like a flaw, it’s really not. In ICO’s case, a longer length would have made the game quite tiresome as puzzle solving & pulling the girl from he pits of hell could tend to get a bit repetitive.

If you're starved for a platformer you'll find plenty to do here, but personally, I'm content to let the apes run free. For now.

The best graphical looking game of 2001.

Though some view this as just Banjo-Kazooie with some minor improvements, take it from me, it is far from that. Definitely a candidate that is well deserving of being this years "Game of the Year".

With awesome graphics, dead-on voice acting, an ingenious battle system, and a strong story plot, you would be crazy to pass this game up.

Edges out "Red Faction 2" just by a hair. "Red Faction"'s single player mode is much more intense but lacks the cooperative campaign mode that Timesplitters 2 did.

It's got the greatest rally driver endorsing it, all the cars, absolutely jaw-dropping graphics, realistic handling... but somehow, it just DOESN'T QUITE make it.

Simply a great game.

If I had to compare, I would say it is Need for Speed with better graphics, faster frame rates, better shortcuts, minus the cop’s pursuit, but equals the same fun.

The most realistic and best hockey game you’ll find on the market anywhere.

Improves upon NBA 2k2 in almost every single way.

The lastability of this game is endless. Because this game is so much fun, plus is online, you can be playing this for years to come.

An amazing game, which is much better than its predecessors on the PC.

It's chocked full of speed and action throughout that should satisfy almost any Sonic fan.

Definitely not for fans of simulation Basketball games, but then again, this game is so much fan, it may be.

Graphically, R4 outshines almost all the other racing games, with impressive lighting effects, a very high frame rate, and no visible slowdown at all.

With a small drawback if you're coming to this game for the music, it is the best cycle game out there, not to mention one of the best N64 racers there is.

The best cart racing game that can be found on the Playstation, and possibly the current best on any system.

The backgrounds are some of the best public arenas presented so far in a game.

Diddy Kong may be a prize to little kids this Xmas of 97, but if you in the teenage or adult years.... This game replay value is slim to none. So rent if you're not buying this for your kids.

For those who are amateurs and have not played much of the Tiger Woods series you may find yourself frustrated at crucial times.

Don't get me wrong, Ratchet and Clank is an awesome platformer in length and gameplay and just about everything, just I preferred "Sly Cooper’s" gameplay more.

And your cars? Well, eventually you'll get some nice ones. Just set aside a month.

Fast paced, 3D fighting at its finest level as of yet.

JSRF isn't going to wow you with its realistic factor, but it will blow you away by showing off a colorful and very beautiful cell shaded world.

Another thing that kinda irks me is the fact that the game pretty much flaunts a late 60's model Mustang muscle car as your main ride, but yet there is only like 1 mission that lets you drive it... its never the default car in any level.

Most importantly, it is fun. Something that most games do not have going for them now a days.

Overall, I was very happy with Sonic and kept me playing longer than Sonic on NeoGeo Pocket Color did.

While it is not long, it just is too much damn fun to put down or not play again.

A much-improved version over its predecessor.

This one is packed full of race courses, new and old, classic and new cars, network action, and a heck of a lot of options.

One of the best racing games on a portable ever.

Perhaps the most impressive mode of the game is the multi-players, in which Acclaim put more thought into. With special design deathmatch stages, Turok 2 has the same if not, better multi player funfactor of "Goldeneye 007."

While this game is Tekken three with tag team and better graphics, it really is a fun game to play. This is probably what Soul Calibur was to Dreamcast, although not as great.

The moment I picked it up, it was hard to separate me from it. And as I've told many already, any game that can make me smile as much as this game does is definitely a gem of its own.

Rogue Squadron doesn’t quite work as well as it should. Frustrating, repetitive gameplay and eye-straining graphics hurt this title quite badly. In fact, I doubt that it would score so highly if it weren’t for the Star Wars license.

Since this is one of the best fighting games to date, you don't even have to be a die-hard fan to enjoy this.

With all the knowledge they acquired from previous Star Wars flight combat games, the latest graphics engine on the world's most powerful console, an exceptional story with a cast of three, and a reworked control setup, Star Wars: Starfighter offers one helluva ride.

Controlling Max is a cinch, with responsive movement and a well thought out button configuration.

"Timesplitters 2" will appeal more to those who were into "Perfect Dark" or 007 types of games. Red Faction II will appeal more to those who like games such as "Halo."

The added features, and classic gameplay makes for one great game.

Although it doesn't have the insane special moves or high character count of "Marvel vs Capcom 2," it does offer a tight gameplay engine for skilled fighters, and wonderfully smooth graphics to complete the package.

Not a traditional type of game we expect to see on a home console. This quality PC conversion only begs the question, "why haven't we?" May the seaweed be with you!

Hardcore gamers should absolutely love this game because of the challenge it presents, but regular gamers like myself might have a bit of trouble swallowing the frustrating gameplay.

Casual sports gamers will often find frustration due to the computer AI.

Once you get used to the unique style of play, it becomes second nature as any game does.

If you like soccer games, and are fortunate enough to have a PS2, you NEED this game. As far as the imperfections of the game, let's face it - EA needs to give you a reason to buy Fifa 2002, right?!

Truly a game of patience.

I was truly amazed by how much fun this game actually is. The planes all look amazing, the action is exciting, and it is an admirable attempt to bring high-flying antics to the Playstation... That said, it's the very simplicity of the gameplay that scuppers the game, as it is at times far too easy.

It took a while, but the N64 finally has a Ridge Racer title to call its own, and a very good one at that. RR64 is packing great sound, graphics, and just about everything else for the first one of the series on a Nintendo console.

There are only three words to describe most of the game’s controls, which are simple, precise and responsive. The games controls are just perfect and are some of the best I have played with in any racing title out on any console.

Its gameplay has evolved to a funfactor of hell yes!

Its lastability is the only drawback of the title.

Definitely good in the sound department as long as you don't mind that there is no music.

Visually, be prepared to be stunned.
