The only drawback to the graphics would be the lack of a rotatable battlefield, as it is sometimes hard to figure out where you can and cannot go in cramped quarters, canyons and towns.

Well equipped to attract a large following among network players with its elegant controls and dazzling graphics.

Infinitely replayable, as random encounters are a part of the game, and no one will find all the secrets the first time through.

The major problems were addressed, the graphics were improved, and additional gameplay modes were added. What more could you ask for?

Though city-building strategy is a niche genre that has never been my favorite, it's fair to say that ZMO is the most fun I've had in quite a while.

You’ll find the gameplay tight, intense, suspenseful, and unique. It has already stolen my heart, take a risk and don’t overlook it, it may steal yours as well.

Cool, complex, and full of action, Earth 2150 extends the tradition of classic sci-fi RTS warfare with a few new twists.

While the task of rebuilding the village is fantastically addictive, the repetitive gameplay is a bore.

The game delivers all the options and play modes you could possibly ask for, a rock-solid control scheme, and of course, EA Sports' unmatched presentation value and signature high-flying action.

Rayman is more like "MYST" -- a beautiful journey where nothing much is required of you, and nothing much really happens. And with the sun shining, the waterfalls sparkling, the magic mushrooms making pyramids, and a tummy full of Lums, that's just a pretty peachy place to be.

Blends disco inferno sensibilities with technological prowess into one magically delicious cocktail, which goes down easy and is every bit as intoxicating as the type of brew it takes to get your antisocial ass out on a real-world dance floor.

The graphics aren't quite up to par, but the game makes up for it with tons of innovative and enjoyable missions, excellent physics, and enough planes and customization options to please even the most demanding flight-simulation fans.

The camera provides a third-person view, and although you can adjust the angles and the depth, it's definitely confusing, and not ideal for battle or discovery.

The pace of the action is generally heart pounding, and that's a good thing. On the down side, the missions are either too short or too initially implausible.

Where else can you see Deion Sanders put a hit on somebody? Certainly not at a Redskins game.

The collision physics make flipping pedestrians over your car seem realistic, as well as barbarically satisfying.

While the camera problem cannot simply be swept under the rug, it doesn't destroy the game's overall playability and replayability (getting the Symbiote Spidey outfit is a blast).

The incredible visuals help this title to stand on equal ground with the rest of the FPSs.

Although Fear Effect 2: Retro Helix suffers from minor control problems, the amusing and entertaining storyline, as well as the impressive graphics, made me want to come back for more.

If you don't dig a traditional RPG structure, this is going to bore you to tears. But for a strong storyline in a non-traditional setting, Planescape is well worth the money.

This game is excellent, although its predictable and simple story combined with average character designs and dialogue prevent if from becoming an instant classic.

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.

The other PS2 baseball games better quake in their cleats. High Heat is as superb a gameplay experience as it is ugly.

There is only one major criterion System Shock 2 fails to hit. Graphically, it isn't so special.

Forget what you think you know about the oval-track monotony and unbreakable silliness of console racing games; Jarrett and Labonte obviously did before attaching their names to this wonderful, visceral racer, and we're all better off for it.

Thankfully, Capcom, the king of coin-op fighters, seems to have few reservations about taking what are essentially change magnets and bringing them home intact for the low, low price of $49.99 (or roughly 100 plays).

It's extremely satisfying to take the U.S. to the World Cup finals (hey, a guy can dream, can't he?), Arsenal to the top of the English Premiere League, or simply play out bitter rivalries like Celtic vs. Rangers, or heck, Chicago Fire versus Deportivo la Coruna...could happen....

One of the most visually stunning games for the deuce. This, coupled with engrossing arcade gameplay, kept me coming back for more. It's a must-have for your PS2 library.
