    It's the same Gauntlet, and we're tired of running it.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It's more like a reworking of "Prince of Persia."
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    What it lacks in the variety of teams it makes up for in the variety of options.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    This one is just for the old-schoolers who want to remember when gaming was a niche and not a business.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Cleaner looking than "Triple Play," but lacking solid mechanics in the pitching and fielding.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It's a modified "Fighting Force" with a little thought behind it, but it is also hamstrung by controls that are less than intuitive.
    • 36 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The same mediocre game on the Cube as it was on the PS2.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It's a good training game, but there's too much looseness in the controls to make it a top draw.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Jam fans will find the move to the Advance didn't really make the experience any better.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It's the same old game, and a short one at that.
    • 72 Metascore

    Black Kat is like me first marriage, aye - fun for a few hours, and then as slow a death as you never want to witness, matey.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Within two hours we beat every Championship mode, and made it through ten of the arcade matches, where we were quickly squashed by the cheap AI. It's a shame, because we were having so much playing up until that point.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    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.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    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.

    Not a bad little game, and the four player option makes it a lot more competitive.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    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.
    • 64 Metascore

    it's no SSX Tricky or Shaun Palmer, but it has a great look and some daunting challenges.
    • 54 Metascore

    Where March Madness doesn't compete is in the game play respect afforded to the big timers - "NBA Live 2002" and "NBA 2K2." The game has a slower pace and a less hurried feel than real basketball.
    • 44 Metascore

    The addictiveness of Jonny Moseley Mad Trix is outweighed by the poor design and tepid game play.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Still not the contender that it should be, but there is hope - and the QB Challenge is still fun to play.
    • 58 Metascore

    This is Jedi Power Battles in 3D - a simple, fast-paced action game that makes you forget everything else for a couple of hours, just like the movie it's based on.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    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.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It's the role-model for mediocre action games.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It has solid graphics, fairly good sound, but flawed driving mechanics that ultimately bring the game down.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A good puzzle game that too often repeats itself and never shows the edge it needed to stay ahead of the game.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Nostalgia freaks and curious geeks could use the history lesson that this disc teaches - it's an emotional purchase.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    The Legend of Alon D'ar goes for the big story (which is lame in its own way) and the big RPG feeling - but falls short on both counts.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    There has to be a better way to represent the sport of snowboarding than this.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    GameDay 2002 finally got the ball, but it's late in the fourth and the other teams (Madden and NFL 2K2) are already celebrating.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It's not the most innovative game, and actually copies a block or two from other puzzle games, but the repetition gets endearing after awhile.
