    Despite there being 13 different racers, all the characters seem to have the same abilities and driving styles.

    A good-looking FPS with a huge assortment of baddies, as well as a multitude of impressive environments. And although the action is fairly cut and dry, it is still a shooter's joy while it lasts.

    A mediocre title that's way too short and only slightly innovative. However, if you can't get enough of these games, the price makes a purchase a no-brainer.

    My only complaint about the story is that it's a little linear, but as the focus of the game is on combat, it's forgivable.

    I haven't seen such lame animations since the early days of Sega Genesis. This is supposed to be the PlayStation2 for crying out loud. How difficult is it to do create some cool fighting animations?

    Aside from some rather brilliant lighting effects, which become apparent when pulling off special moves, SFEX3 looks like nothing more than a high-res original PlayStation game.

    As with all M&M games, the sound effects are my favorite. Each town and feature on the map has its own song or sound, and the richness and variety is impressive.

    Inexplicably, Wacky Races does away with the very features which made its console cousins so endearing, substituting in their place cheap filler that's pure crapola whichever way you look at it.

    The graphics, however, are the game's strongest suit. Viggo's Revenge sports the same cartoony characters and environments as the DC version, but they have been a tad improved thanks to cell shading technology.

    GunBird's the word, standing out as one of the best finger-crampin' exercises since the Rubik's Cube.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Old-school graphics and unprecedented difficulty level make this one a loser for all but the most dedicated retro-game freaks.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    This is a tremendous one-player shooter with a level of intensity and suspense that reminds me of when super-graphic gaming was a brand-new thing.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    While the graphics and the sound are on point, the game as a whole is weak.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A painful aquatic encounter, though not on the same level as, say, a jellyfish in the swim trunks.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    A terribly average game, Chronicles is about jumping, falling, dying and reloading from the memory card every few minutes.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The sound effects are very well done, but the senseless and endless chatter from your colleagues is distracting and unwanted, and the music score could have been much better and less monotonous.

    The faces are the truest recreation of NBA stars I've seen, though the big heads do look a little out of place on the equally outlandish bods.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    I liked this game simply because it's Star Wars, but also because it's a fun, if basic, combat title.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Uninspired graphics, sound, and gameplay help you quickly realize why this game was created in the first place. Namely, to separate an innocent Trekkie from his cash.

    Nine out of ten experts agree, this kangaroo should be hopping his way into bargain bin obscurity, posthaste.

    Amusing and might be fun for a couple of days, but there's not much here to hold your interest. If, on the other hand, you're an adult and a big fan of "Quake" or "UT," and you have a young sibling, relative, or child that you'd like to play games with (minus the graphic violence and gore in most games), this is a great game to try out.

    Along with the frenetic gameplay, Spawn: In the Demon's Hand conjures up a deliciously wicked bevy of visuals for the owner's viewing pleasure.

    This disaster of bushido, on the other hand, Kengo right into the discount bin.

    If Konami can keep the slicker aspects of the game and work on the weaknesses, maybe ESPN 2Night, like Zo, will be a lot more impressive next year.

    Dozens of magical rings will have you wishing you had more than ten fingers, but the poor enemy AI will have you occasionally flipping one of them at your screen.

    The bottom line is that NASCAR fans will be pleased, and others won't be completely bored out of their skulls.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    It's interesting enough, and you'd probably get a few hours of gameplay out of it, but it gets tired really quickly. Add this to the fact that the really cool battles -- the ones with lots of ships on each side that might have drawn you to this title--are nearly impossible to coordinate.

    While it may not be perfect, it does a damn good job, and sure as hell gets you interested in the Yamaha line of products.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The adrenaline-inducing arcade action makes up for the game's flaws.
    • 61 Metascore

    Even though TWINE is no "GoldenEye," it's still a fun and well-made game in its own right. It's sort of the way I feel about Pierce Brosnan...he'll never replace Sean Connery in my heart, but he still plays a pretty good Bond.
