The challenges are too weak. The game moves way too slow.

The lack of a franchise mode kills the replay value. The graphics are so-so.

While the graphics are some of the best that I have seen in a racing title for a nex-gen system, this does not compensate for the fact that Driving Emotion Type-S has unrealistic physics that debilitate the overall enjoyment of the game.

Tack on a "Police Academy's" worth of god-awful zingers, third-grade-level dialogue, and "witty" remarks so sour they'd curdle milk, though, and you've got the makings of a highly playable, thick 'n' chunky piece of interactive fromage.

Though exceedingly difficult, this title's still a rollicking good time.

Worst of all is the voice of Volcan, an anime reject who unfortunately happens to be everywhere. Imagine Spritle from "Speed Racer" with a limitless supply of sugar and caffeine--and a bad cold--and you get the idea.

The gaming equivalent of a four-day candy and soda binge: nothing substantive, you know it's terrible for you, and you'll hate yourself afterwards. In fact, you hate yourself while it's going on, but it's such tasty junk that you just can't stop.

If you're looking to feel bored and frustrated, pick up Sonic Shuffle.

An entertaining, mission-based driver with hilarious commentary and fairly engrossing gameplay. This is definitely a sleeper hit for the aging PlayStation.

Forget about your outside game--it's next to impossible to sink a trey. And the acid-trip free throw meter will have you wondering what the 989 gang was huffing when they thought it up.

What LucasArts has done is create a traditional console title with little regard for computer game-specific enhancements. So while BfN doesn't flirt overly much with the Dark Side, Jedi masters take heed; unless pure, unadulterated melee sounds like a plan, this incredibly basic blaster will send shivers down your lightsaber.

The novel point scoring system makes for intense play.

The game is repetitive, no doubt, but there are enough challenges to make it worth a sitting or two.

It doesn't feel like you're playing pool, and these have got to be the most outdated-looking graphics seen on the PlayStation2.

After prodding through this journey over the past week, I can assure hopeful N64 players that this game isn't worth your time, money, or effort.

This game should have never left the training room.

Dinosaur tries so hard to be a good game for kids, but it just falls flat on its face due to the control issues. I can't imagine kids playing this game for long periods of time; it is so complicated for the wee people that it's more of a hassle than anything else.

The 3D engine is quite good, the interface is top-notch, and the gameplay itself stays within the standard mold of the genre; it just doesn't try to reach for anything beyond the mold. Or, if it did, it got mired along the way in a swamp of mediocrity from which there was no escape.

Uninspiring and bland gameplay, load screens while racing (seriously), unresponsive control, and horribly outdated graphics.

Having played it, I found it to be pretty enjoyable, if only for a few scatterbrained hours. It could, however, be the perfect kids game for the N64.

The construction sounds and repetitive voice samples may get on your nerves after a while, but this is a minor shortcoming.

A generic cart racer, even with those blue bastards behind the wheel. The only saving grace is the price tag.

It's a curio--something to buy if you find yourself overcome with Olympic fever; just bear in mind that it'll be in the bargain bin in just a couple of weeks.

The fact of the matter is that the gameplay in this ramshackle title pales in comparison to these top-selling greats, as does its unpredictable design, boring multiplayer modes (deathmatch, pass the bomb, etc.) and outdated engine.

For the true believer, it's all worthwhile when Ash cranks up his trusty chainsaw and lets loose with a hearty, "Yo, tree bitch. Let's go."

Until SCEA sits down and actually works to iron out some of the game's bugs and takes steps to improve the realism, GameDay will be mired in Madden's shadow for many seasons to come.

Looks like a guppy of a fishing game indeed.

The added bonuses in gameplay, such as critical hits and non-linear play, are what make this game definitely worth checking out. So get out your dancing shoes, and start slashing to the beat.

From the graphics to the execution to the gameplay mechanics, America is the poorest excuse for a real-time strategy game I've seen.

The PS2's first college hoop game doesen't blow the roof off the arena.

Like a mixture of "Mario Kart" and "Motor Toon GP," RC Revenge Pro's pint-sized racing terrors are armed to the teeth, delivering a totally lighthearted, fun and competitive racing experience.

If only this game had the good control and the creative puzzles of "Resident Evil," it might have been a damn fine game. Of course it's not a damn fine game. It's a pretty bad one, but at least it's short.

I never thought hitting someone with a lead pipe could be so boring.

To make a painfully long story short, even at a $20 price point, you won't eke a smidgen of amusment out of this product, unless you receive it as a white elephant gift.

Unless you're obsessed with playing with little green men and don't think you're going to be abducted in the near future, stay well away.

It has plenty of good stuff going for it, but a long list of problems keeps it from being anything other than merely decent.

Klutzy controls and instructions, tiresome micromanagement, and uninspired audio are wearying once the novelty of the game has worn off.

Your outfielders are all apparently modeled after Greg Luzinski, because they each can only cover about ten feet of territory.

Credit should be given to Infogrames for even producing a volleyball game, but Power Spike's a bit like getting sand in your shorts -- not much fun at all.

BMX isn't a bad game, it just doesn't do anything fresh to get a jaded player excited.

A stress buster with mindless fun.

You will be subject to gruelingly slow frame rates. I will not hesitate to drop you below 20 frames per second. I will blur the graphics until your eyes hurt. You will play bland level after bland level without so much as a whimper.

Not only does it look gorgeous, but it does a remarkable job of bringing the surfing experience home. Unfortunately, it also brings the frustration and lack of variety that straight surfing brings, which leads to its inevitable failure in the fun category.

The poorest excuse for a hockey game ever created. Not even the nice-looking player models can save this game from the recycle bin.

More of a rental than a purchase, unless you're a huge football fanatic who requires every pigskin video game.

The biggest problem area in Mike Tyson Boxing is the controls. They're not completely unresponsive, but there is a definite delay that affects the overall gameplay and fluidity of the game.

More than likely to go the way of it's real-life ancestors -- except that no one's going to be looking for it so much as six weeks from now, much less a billion years.

The control is a little clumsy, and there are a few bugs that'll drive you to drink.

In and out of the ring, this product's nothing more than a jobber staring down the most brutal tag team ever to represent the "sport": "WWF Wrestlemania 2000" and "WWF Royal Rumble."

Oh, I forgot to mention the horribly painful control and the truly pathetic graphics. Yep, definitely a Cruis'n title.

Cloggy, rutty, a little bit old, and just a little too safe -- precisely the sensations one is trying to avoid with a game based on motocross.

If you're desperately searching for a good motorcycle racing title, dust off the old Genesis and plug in "Road Rash." At least you'll have some fun with that.

The graphics may be lackluster, but the music is worse.

To clarify, it's your typical boy-meets-scrap-parts-that-will-eventually-become-a-killing-machine tale, minus any compelling death scenes or token nudity shots.

It's a shame that the developers didn't polish "Rally Challenge 2000" a bit before they sent it out the door, because it has a really cool racing engine at its core.

In an attempt to please everyone, the game's standard may be that of the lowest common denominator. At least the book is included in the package.

If you haven't seen the game, prepare to witness some of the weakest graphics this side of the millenium. The 3D characters are nothing but big blocks of pixel.

A singularly unpleasant experience. The AI is unremarkable, as is the series of challenges and tests you must go through to unlock all the vehicles and tracks.

Horrible control, lousy graphics, and a migraine-inducing frame rate all add up to one of the worst games on the market. If you want skateboarding action, just stick to Tony Hawk.

One of the deepest games ever created. Too bad all the time spent with the options couldn't have been devoted to gameplay instead.

When reviewing a game, I usually try to emphasize at least a few good points along with the bad, but in this case, I can honestly say that this game truly sucks.

Maybe there are fans of the movie who would have their interests piqued by this title, but those fans should do themselves a favor and buy The Road to El Dorado coloring or sticker books. They would be just as fun and as interactive as the game.

Falls into the same category as the Double Filet-O-Fish--while it may seem like an extraordinary idea at first, it eventually morphs into a complete catastrophe.

Quite simply the worst game of hoops I've every played.

The Hector "Macho" Camacho of boxing games: lots of style and flash, but no punching power.

Fans of the cartoon obviously aren't sick of the Batman premise, but that doesn't mean they'll be able to tolerate this game.

A product that feels like a half-finished heap o' crap.

After spending some time in front of the tube playing this game, I was left wondering, "Is that it?"
