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

    Worth checking out simply for its quirky faux contemporary rock theme song.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    A guaranteed sleeper hit. While its edutainment background seems at odds with the subject material, these two worlds collide rather splendidly.
    • 74 Metascore

    Aside from the graphics, the PS2 version of Live 2001 can't hold a candle to its PSX counterpart.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    The Ward was obviously inspired by LucasArts' classic "The Dig" and Inscape's underrated "Drowned God," only it's nowhere as good or as innovative as either title.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Great graphics and storyline can't quite make up for its lackluster AI and tedious gameplay.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Everything you could possibly want from a driving game.
    • 50 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    From the graphics to the execution to the gameplay mechanics, America is the poorest excuse for a real-time strategy game I've seen.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Like a mixture of "Mario Kart" and "Motor Toon GP," RC Revenge Pro's pint-sized racing terrors are armed to the teeth, delivering a totally lighthearted, fun and competitive racing experience.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Make weapons out of trash! (Disclaimer: probably not advisable as a real-life hobby.)
    • 62 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    This disaster of bushido, on the other hand, Kengo right into the discount bin.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Hellish steering, steep difficulty and satanic AI. How it manages to be fun despite this boggles the mind.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    In essence, the closest motorcycle fans are going to get to a bike version of "Gran Turismo."
    • 48 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    To make a painfully long story short, even at a $20 price point, you won't eke a smidgen of amusment out of this product, unless you receive it as a white elephant gift.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The 3D engine is quite good, the interface is top-notch, and the gameplay itself stays within the standard mold of the genre; it just doesn't try to reach for anything beyond the mold. Or, if it did, it got mired along the way in a swamp of mediocrity from which there was no escape.

    The first game on the PS2 that has made me look forward to owning one of my own.

    The aspect of contacting and interacting with demons was also an element that I fully embraced. It broke the monotony of simply killing and killing in order to gain experience points.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    If only this game had the good control and the creative puzzles of "Resident Evil," it might have been a damn fine game. Of course it's not a damn fine game. It's a pretty bad one, but at least it's short.

    Has everything an F1 fan could desire. But for experts it may be a little too easy, and for outsiders it's just not as fun as some of the other racing games out there.

    While this magnificently dumb galoot blatantly treads on common ground, it leaves a lasting trail of wreckage that gamers will happily follow.
    • 34 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    Maybe there are fans of the movie who would have their interests piqued by this title, but those fans should do themselves a favor and buy The Road to El Dorado coloring or sticker books. They would be just as fun and as interactive as the game.

    The PS2's first college hoop game doesen't blow the roof off the arena.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Needs a lot more to justify the price.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    A decent game that's like class registration in college. Every course you pick seems cool, but only two will actually be interesting.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    For practical purposes, think of this disc as a professional kickboxer's bombshell girlfriend--you can look, but bad things come to those who touch.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Other than the great graphics, the PC version has nothing extra to offer over its console counterparts, so I wouldn't recommend an upgrade if you already have it.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    After spending a week tiring of this title's company, memories of the countless frustrations encountered are also taken away from the affair.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    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.
    • 24 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Fans of the cartoon obviously aren't sick of the Batman premise, but that doesn't mean they'll be able to tolerate this game.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The online play takes this game over the top, as you no longer just win money from your game console's unlimited bank, but you actually get to grab it from other human racers.
