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.- Happy Puppy

It's still a very good game once you learn to live with its shortcomings, and I wouldn't suggest that any THPS addict shy away from buying it, but don't expect THPS on two wheels.- Happy Puppy

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.- Happy Puppy

The strongest, most-polished game in the series, but it is definitely a sequel.- Happy Puppy

After spending solo time with the game, I've decided that Mario Party 3 is like that last guest who refuses to accept that the party is over.- Happy Puppy

A unique, humorous, inventive, challenging, and highly addictive action-puzzle game. High replay value, terrific multiplay.- Happy Puppy

From start to finish, the game is a non-stop blast-a-thon. If you're a fan of the genre, you won't be disappointed.- Happy Puppy

The true star of the game is its speed. Never before in a racing game has the feeling of cruising at over 100 MPH been so perfectly conveyed.- Happy Puppy

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.- Happy Puppy

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.- Happy Puppy

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).- Happy Puppy

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?- Happy Puppy

My big issue with ESPN MET is the AI or lack thereof. On several occasions I was able to bring my opponent's goalie out of his box and leave the goal wide open. In addition, taking the ball from players is as easy as running into them.- Happy Puppy

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.- Happy Puppy

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.- Happy Puppy

Falls into the same category as the Double Filet-O-Fish--while it may seem like an extraordinary idea at first, it eventually morphs into a complete catastrophe.- Happy Puppy

To clarify, it's your typical boy-meets-scrap-parts-that-will-eventually-become-a-killing-machine tale, minus any compelling death scenes or token nudity shots.- Happy Puppy

A generic cart racer, even with those blue bastards behind the wheel. The only saving grace is the price tag.- Happy Puppy

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.- Happy Puppy

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

Destined for greatness. With its unmatched multiplayer gameplay, incredible depth, and huge online community, everyone should experience Tribes 2 for themselves.- Happy Puppy

If you haven't seen the game, prepare to witness some of the weakest graphics this side of the millenium. The 3D characters are nothing but big blocks of pixel.- Happy Puppy

The best new feature is the school... There's no more need for those huge strategy books--this mode covers everything and reinforces it in a way no book could.- Happy Puppy

Sheesh, this clunker might as well be subtitled "Interactive Espionage Game Design Basics for Dummies." How retailers can live with such rubbish polluting their shelves isn't apparent.- Happy Puppy

Short and to the point, Zone of the Enders is a beautifully presented and entertaining, if shallow, action game.- Happy Puppy
