    Ridge Racer V
    There's one disappointment - the lack of animation. You may see two or three birds way out flying, but closer surrounding area are completely static; trees leaves do not move, glowing electronic billboards don't animate, ocean water is stiff as stone, and there is no detectable change in weather condition....Still the overall package is very sweet.

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

    Driver
    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.

    Star Wars: Super Bombad Racing
    It's great looking, amusing at times, and the Star Wars themes never gets old.

    NFL GameDay 2003
    The AI and specific aspects of the gameplay need tweaking, and graphically it could stand a few tweaks too, but very fun to play regardless.

    Diddy Kong Racing
    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.

    Tokyo Xtreme Racer 2
    Given the free-flowing, non-linear nature of the game, gamers will either love the freedom to cruise around, or hate the lack of a real objective.

    Ape Escape
    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.

    Sega Marine Fishing
    Even with an online mode for competitions by rules set on the game's site, it just isn't enough that to keep you coming back to fish some more.

    Way of the Samurai
    It’s a little short, and it doesn’t have a great variety of play, but WotS will satisfy those longing for a Bushido Blade 2 sequel.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    Zombie Revenge
    "Zombie Revenge" does deliver a true beat'em up game with an excellent visual presentation and enough to make it worth a look.

    Star Wars: Jedi Starfighter
    The game offers a great ride while also telling us a little more about the inner stories of Episode II that were not mentioned in the movie.

    World Series Baseball 2K1
    Even though it is somewhat of dissatisfaction, I will say there is a bit of fun, but also frustration.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    Aqua Aqua
    The game sucks you in to it, and wont let go.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    Summoner
    If you need a RPG or just a game that lasts longer than more than half of the current PS2 line-up, then this game is something to pick up.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    World Tour Soccer 2003
    A just as addicting game as last years game, and improves pretty well upon it too.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    NBA ShootOut 2001
    But what can keep you going back for more are the key aspects like creating your own elite players to go head-to-head with all the NBA teams, or recreate your own signature dunks to showoff who's the man.

    Downforce
    As for the actual game playing, this game keeps a F1 games physics, and gives you a sometimes unforgiving difficulty.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    Unreal Tournament
    Definitely the best next-generation FPS out right now.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    Colin McRae Rally 2.0
    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.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    Okage: Shadow King
    The story itself may not live up to the expectations of an engrossing plot with surprising twists, but the light-hearted humor of the game compensates somewhat.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    Grand Theft Auto 2
    I hate to use this cliché, but if you liked the first one.... etc. Just be aware that this game falls into the 'controller-throwing' realm of difficulty and frustration. But it also falls into the 'turning it back on 5 minutes later' realm of addictiveness.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    Cannon Spike
    If you miss the good old days of arcade blastfests, Cannon Spike is your wish come true. It's a good, exciting, simple game anyone should be able to pick up and play. Yes, it will all be over way too soon, but while it lasts you'll have a blast.

    Cool Boarders 2001
    There is no shame in being inferior to a groundbreaking title like SSX. And while CB2001 has its share of flaws, you'll still get a thrill seeking challenge.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Jet X2O
    Doesn’t offer anything new to players who have played "Wave Race" and "Jet Moto."
    • 77 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    James Bond 007: NightFire
    Multiplayer fans should skip this title and pick up "Timesplitters 2" or "Red Faction 2" instead.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Sega Sports Tennis
    Casual sports gamers will often find frustration due to the computer AI.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    Crash Bash
    It's a party title without the boring drama of rolling dice. It's a game that gets right to the point...the fun.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    PaRappa the Rapper 2
    Adequate for those seeking a second dose of some hoppin beats and humorous raps from the crew.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    Xtreme Sports
    Great game, horrible music. Very addictive gameplay, and different sports that are all crammed into one game combine to make a very innovative and fun game.
