An absurdly non-existent damage model causes the game to seem so stunningly unrealistic that it's little more than a goofy cart racing arcade game.

"GameDay 2001's" crime is, plainly and simply, that it's not "Madden."

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

Good ideas clash with rigid mission architecture and fruity design work. This is the same game in which you can authentically throttle a foe to death, but half a dozen body shots won't ice an opponent.

Captures the look and feel of Donald Duck's universe impeccably, and delivers a solid, fun, gorgeous platform romp the way folks like it--with style.

It's difficult to get excited about muddy graphics and visuals that look almost identical to those circa 1995.

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

Like fine wine or stinky cheese, Ms. Pac-Man just gets better and better as time goes by.

This is not a bad game on the whole. If you've got the patience to get through it, and if you can bear with the shabby controls and sometimes maddeningly awkward camera angles, there are plenty of rewards.

The graphics are superb. Rather than attempt to hypnotize you with psychedelic patterns of bullets, this game has a slower pace that actually allows you to take in your surroundings, an apparent breakthrough when put up against other recent shooters. The backdrops are luscious and feature textures so detailed that you probably don't have enough rods and cones in your eyes to appreciate them.

Combines land- and water-based vehicles in a racing simulation that's nothing short of amazing.

It really is a great stress-relieving game with its simple controls, colorful visuals, and soothing sounds--ah, the simple pleasures in life.

All praise the lord of the church of the swollen-thumbed messiah--this game is a kick!...You pound endlessly on two buttons until either the event is over or you've lost feeling in your hand, but virtually every other aspect of the game has been improved.

Innovative gameplay, clever level design, and an abundance of mini-games serve to spice up an otherwise generic experience.

This was a good, but glitch-plagued game on the PC, and it may be just a little too complex for an easy transition to a console.

Unfortunately, for serious gamers and traffic-dodging enthusiasts everywhere, it's not enough.

Such a pleasure for longtime fans. The series keeps getting better, rather than rotting like the game's antagonists and citizens of Raccoon City...What makes Nemesis better than the previous installments is the improved interface.

If a game doesn't bring anything new to the table, one must wonder why the developers even bothered in the first place.

The main problem with the gameplay, as it was with the first, is that there's no real reward for shooting well. As long as you duck at the right time you can hit a very low percentage of your shots and still finish the game.

Shows brief glimpses of that old EA excellence with its new dynasty mode, but sadly, the overall game slides weakly into the realm of substandard.

And if you're too cool for this stuff, hey, grow up and get over it, because you're missing out on a terrific game.

I've come to the conclusion that if there is even a glimpse of something with even the tiniest bit of fur on it, peeps will flock to it in droves, and it's to this I also attribute the success of "Basic Instinct."...BR3 is best left to the novice.

If you are a World War II buff or a strategy enthusiast, by all means take PGIII for a cruise, but if you want variety and visual stimulation from a game, search elsewhere.

It's cool to look at and has excellent sound, but it lacks fundamental gameplay elements that make kart racing the good time that it is.

Serves up a decent game of b-ball, but sluggish gameplay and the lack of a few fundamental options keep it from reaching its full potential.

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

Just know that you're in for a short ride that will leave you yearning for a full-fledged sequel.

A solid--albeit brief--game. However, because of the game's flaws, it makes a prime rental candidate.
