    Knockout Kings 2001
    A no-nonsense boxing sim, which means that if you're dog-tired, you may have to go an entire round without throwing a punch just to get your wind back. This may seem ho-hum to "Street Fighter EX 3" fans, but for the hardcore boxing crowd, this degree of realism is the next best thing to a title unification bout.

    Spyro: Year of the Dragon
    Its true 3D exploratory gameplay, its vast and varied level designs, its colorful cast of characters, and its picture-perfect control create a fantastic atmosphere.

    Dracula: The Last Sanctuary
    Let's cut to the chase -- this game sucks. Or rather, its chief antagonist does, since that vampiric schmuck Dracula just won't stay dead...bloody good fun.

    Combat Flight Simulator 2: WWII Pacific Theater
    Featuring powerful graphics and intense gameplay, CFS2 makes up for all the mistakes of its predecessor, and then some.

    Half-Life: Blue Shift
    Just know that you're in for a short ride that will leave you yearning for a full-fledged sequel.

    Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles
    The control in Jedi Power Battles is fantastic.

    Virtua Tennis
    Gorgeous graphics, simple gameplay, and tons of multiplayer fun give this title legs like Steffi Graf's.
    • 89 Metascore

    Phantasy Star Online
    Tremendously fun gameplay with an addictive online component.
    • 73 Metascore

    Supercross
    Meshes tight control, serviceable graphics, and EA's trademark extras to set the standard by which future motocross games will be judged.

    Vanishing Point
    Hellish steering, steep difficulty and satanic AI. How it manages to be fun despite this boggles the mind.

    Unreal Tournament
    Solid, solid, and more solid. It's intensely fun, well balanced, and it safely brings out the violent side in you.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Myst III: Exile
    The strongest, most-polished game in the series, but it is definitely a sequel.

    Unreal Tournament (1999)
    If you play only one FPS this year, it will probably be "Quake 3," but if you play two FPS games this year, give Unreal Tournament a try.
    • 86 Metascore

    Test Drive V-Rally
    Guess what. It's a damn fine game.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    MechWarrior 4: Vengeance
    Complex and simple at the same time, MechWarrior 4 reaches a Zen-like balance between simulation and pure fun.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Power Stone 2
    Unless gamers are intimidated by the sheer chaos of Power Stone 2, this is likely to become one of the premiere party games for the Dreamcast.

    • 80 Critic Score
    Spawn: In the Demon's Hand
    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.

    Ring of Red
    Winning Ring of Red could take nearly as long as quashing a real world war, but hey, at least it's a nuclear blast all the way up to that pesky peace declaration.

    Oni
    I count myself somewhere in the middle, acknowledging the innovations of Oni while also being aware of its inherent flaws.

    Daytona USA
    Solid graphics, fast and furious gameplay, and awesome online multiplayer battles make this an arcade racing title that should not be overlooked.

    • 80 Critic Score
    Vanishing Point
    The controls take some getting used to and the AI can be infuriating, but, it's still an insanely addictive game. It's one of those titles that'll have you storming out of the room swearing that you'll never play it again, only to find yourself back in front of the screen, Dual Shock in hand, half an hour later.

    Zombie Revenge
    Each level is dissected by terrifically cheesy HOD-style cinema screens that supposedly advance the plot, but in reality make you scratch your head and go, "Wha'? Well, it looks good...."
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    SWAT 3: Elite Edition
    The multiplayer elements may need some fine-tuning and additional features, but the game is still a literal blast to play.

    NHL 2001
    The series gets better every year, and now it seems to be just a few minor tweaks away from perfection.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Escape from Monkey Island
    The lack of mouse support is both shocking and somewhat unforgivable... (yet) EMI will provide hours of intelligent and silly gameplay.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    MDK2
    If you're tired of the same old shoot-this-guard, find-this-key, flip-this-switch gameplay, give "MDK2" a shot -- you won't be disappointed.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    NFL Blitz 2000
    In terms of options, "Blitz 2000" rests on its laurels, though a four-player simultaneous mode may be enough for die-hards to pick this one up.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Star Wars: Demolition
    It's always nice to see a license stretch its wings succesfully.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Summoner
    Even with its shortcomings, it's a fun fantasy romp with plenty of hacking, slashing, and casting.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    StarCraft
    If you're looking for something new, if you're looking for groundbreaking gameplay, you won't find it here. What you will find is a very solid game engine, with fantastic multiplayer support, and nice units and technologies to choose from.
