This one is just for the old-schoolers who want to remember when gaming was a niche and not a business.

Plays little more than an interactive "Choose Your Own Adventure" book.

Pro BMX was a solid game on the PS One – this should have been just as solid.

The objectives in the game go from too easy to patience-busting hard, and that's a shame, because if there was consistency in the objectives, the game could have headed in another direction.

It's a little better than last year's game, and the play editor helps, but you've seen this, and done this, before.

A walk down memory lane with one of the better platform games of the early days of the Super NES and Genesis.

The game is exhausting because of the number of different races, but it doesn’t take long to get bored with it.

It’s like playing with Hot Wheels when you’ve grown up with Matchbox racers. Variety aside, there’s not much in the way of style.

The game won’t be taking home trophies for the game play, which is the most serious of the game’s flaws.

And it is fun, for a while, at least until you discover the unbalanced gameplay and learn to beat your opponents into submission with just a few hits.

The game is not there for the amusement or entertainment of the general public - it's a special, silly game reserved for true aficionados of the Simpsons. Count us in.

This game ultimately rises above average with equal parts charm and challenge, qualities that have been missing from the 2D side-scrolling titles of late.

A well-rounded, challenging game without much flash or innovation.

The game’s ugliness is its major flaw, though the free-roaming nature of many of the levels can be frustrating too.

GameDay 2002 finally got the ball, but it's late in the fourth and the other teams (Madden and NFL 2K2) are already celebrating.

No big surprises here, from level design to weapon selection. A complete retread of yesteryear's game play.

A fairly dry, emotionless golf simulation that’s competent in execution but lacks inspiration.

It's just that Bungie was obviously trying for an ambitiously epic, innovative game with a distinct style and a hip, futuristic plot, and almost none of those new and unique elements work well.

It doesn't seem to have the same tension and competitive spirit that past T&F games did - and the selection of games represented seems overly eclectic.

This radical departure adds a level of depth to the series as a whole - MM fans should pick it up out of loyalty - anyone who's not a hardcore fan should let this one settle back into the big blue.

Nostalgia freaks and curious geeks could use the history lesson that this disc teaches - it's an emotional purchase.

The fact is except for a resolution bump-up, there is almost no difference between the PSX and PS2 ports of this title -- and that's a sad state of affairs given the extra horsepower under the PS2's hood. Kinda makes you wonder what that $300 you spent on the system bought you.

The scenery you drive through never stops being interesting -- one of the best incentives to keep playing is to see how attractive the next stage will be.

Brevity is what kills this game. It's not impossible to play through the whole game in under an hour, and some of the side games, like a 2-player head-to-head game, just don't seem to extend the fun.

They score major points on style, definition, and realism in movement. But points get taken away for the sparse look and sound effects.

This is an un-pretentious little role playing game that doesn't try to be anything more than it is, and as a side-quest to a larger RPG universe, it succeeds.

Cleaner looking than "Triple Play," but lacking solid mechanics in the pitching and fielding.

Except for deathmatch mode it's really no different than any other space sim, and the controls are much too difficult. Otherwise, though, it's well-executed and solid, if a bit too familiar.
