    The few new game modes and extra features hardly justify the price tag. Nor does the fact there are already numerous similar games available for free on the Web.

    Sure, FOTD is a blatant "me too" AOE clone with a few new additions and a different cultural angle, but it's also an addictive diversion that'll keep you glued to the PC for hours on end.

    The combination of the beautiful visuals, awesome sound effects, simple control, and hysterical power-ups really makes Looney Tunes Racing an enjoyable experience. Unfortunately, the whole thing is noticeably short-lived.

    This becomes a case of hurry up and wait. I found myself frantically trying to fit all of my moves into the eight minutes that constituted my turn, then going and fixing myself a sandwich during the AI's eight minutes.

    I actually think GigaWing 2 is a great game in many ways, but it is so short it makes even the super-low $20 price tag look steep.

    Delve a little deeper, and you'll find annoying graphical glitches, shifty control, and a frustrating interface that detracts enough from the overall game to make it a mediocre title at best.

    It's an addictive game that'll have you hacking away at brigands, toad men, evil priests, and even the occasional minor gaming bug.

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

    ESPN MLS GameNight is sort of like the result of Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman having a little tike of their own, but it comes out looking like your average tree sloth.

    After spending a week tiring of this title's company, memories of the countless frustrations encountered are also taken away from the affair.

    You get the feeling that the voice work was done by people that roll their R's when ordering the "Burrito Supreme" at Taco Bell.

    Attempts to bring back to the DC the excitement that HOTD2 gave us and, as we all know, it's not 1999 anymore, and the Dreamcast is no spring chicken.

    In a word, it's crap.

    Given the sordid history of Looney Toons games, it's simply enough that this duck doesn't suck.

    Deep Fighter ranks only behind the superb "Resident Evil: Code Veronica" in bringing mood to the table.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Aside from a few drawbacks, this manages to be an entertaining little game that adds enough to the smashy-smashy mix to keep you interested for at least a few hours.

    D2
    Scary it ain't, but D2's got its morbid charms.

    As my son put it, "This game was designed by mean old men who just wanted to twist our minds." I couldn't have said it better myself.

    Bear in mind that you're buying into a hard-core simulation, not a flashy pseudo-realistic game, so a troubled conscience won't be an issue.

    Once the nostalgia wears off, you’re left with a mediocre game show game that can hardly compete with the likes of Sierra On-Line’s successful "You Don’t Know Jack" franchise.

    A good three to four hours of fast-paced fun if you take the time to find the secrets, thus making it perfect for a weekend rental.

    Oni
    For all the complaints you can level at the game--serious though they might be--the fact remains that the combat controls are well designed, and kicking ass in this game is incredibly entertaining.

    The vehicles have a silly propensity to flip upside-down (even at 20mph), and stupid proportional gaffes abound, like a dune buggy that's able to muscle an SUV over a cliff. Which is just insane.

    Needs a lot more to justify the price.

    Those utilizing that modem in the back of the DC are sure to appreciate a lot of what this racing game has to offer. Anyone else, however, will likely find it sorely lacking in what should otherwise be standard features.

    Has some arguably unique approaches, but seems to be lacking many of the checks and balances that would reign said approaches in from out-of-control excesses to interesting novelties.

    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.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    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.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    The six mini-games are fun to play... for about 30 minutes each.

    In essence, the closest motorcycle fans are going to get to a bike version of "Gran Turismo."
