    The 24 mini-games that make up the whole present a pretty good cross-section of every gaming style imaginable. They're all handled well.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    One of the nicest PSX games to be released in recent months, featuring great graphics, sound, gameplay, and an engaging storyline with vivid characters.

    The bottom line is that NASCAR fans will be pleased, and others won't be completely bored out of their skulls.

    Jack has always been about graphical fun, irreverence, and sarcastic humor. And this one is no exception.

    Unlike "Seaman," this game's voice recognition is pretty primitive.
    • 97 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    The comparison between THPS2 for the Dreamcast and PlayStation can be directly correlated to a comparison of Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears.... Because Spears (like the Dreamcast version) is four times as enhanced as Aguilera, she is recognized as a better product.

    Max doesn't do anything particularly wrong, it just doesn't do too much that's new.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    The AI is sharp, and even if it wasn't, you'd have to admire the tight multiplayer coding and thrilling multiplayer games offered on Sacrifice's free server.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    It has plenty of good stuff going for it, but a long list of problems keeps it from being anything other than merely decent.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    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.

    NBA 2K1 is hype, dope, flash, stylin', radical to the max, groovy, and it's cool, daddio--real cool.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    One heck of a well-designed game, complete in every area of realism, but falling a bit short as far as fun factor is concerned.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    It looks, sounds, and even plays old school. Are you sure you want to go back to school?
    • 56 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    This is creepy in a really bad way.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The only real problem here is that the game still plays a bit too fast.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It's just a matter of personal preference, but I'll take Alex Trebek over the You Don't Know Jack pinhead any day. At least the free bag of microwave popcorn that comes with the game was good.

    • 95 Critic Score
    SSX
    SSX is so good, you'd better strap yourself into your favorite gaming chair, and have plenty of Kleenex and wet-naps on hand.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The game's lack of speed and overwhelming number of moves make it less of a draw for non-fans, but fans will be thoroughly floored.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    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.
    • 94 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    The most visually innovative and stunning game to hit any console. Oh yeah, it's a lot of fun too.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    Does "3DO" mean "3 directions only" -- forward, left, and right?
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Staggering amount of customization, a virtual fleet of licensed vehicles, and an effective cross-platform online experience that gives a whole new meaning to the words "replay value" for a console game.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    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.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Not only does it look gorgeous, but it does a remarkable job of bringing the surfing experience home. Unfortunately, it also brings the frustration and lack of variety that straight surfing brings, which leads to its inevitable failure in the fun category.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    It really is a great stress-relieving game with its simple controls, colorful visuals, and soothing sounds--ah, the simple pleasures in life.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    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.
    • 91 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    If you're looking for something unique, look no further than that series known for its bouncy girls. Now its got even more depth to go along with its more obvious features.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    It's got a great golf engine, loads of options, replay value, and offers a serious challenge without taking itself too seriously.
    • 91 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    While THPS is one of the finest games ever made, THPS2 is so much better that it makes the first seem almost unplayable.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    While the graphics and the sound are on point, the game as a whole is weak.
