    It may not have the emotional impact of some of Square's RPG's, but it does have likeable characters, a huge amount of gameplay, an epic quest, and beautifully rendered environments and effects.

    It's all the fun of the original in the palm of your hand.

    Easily one of the best (if not the best) racing games on the Dreamcast. It's certainly the best GT-style circuit racer on the platform.

    This is by far the best-looking basketball game currently on the market, the only negative being some jarring motion-capture transitions.

    WO XL also has possibly the best soundtrack of any game, including contributions from Chemical Brothers, Underworld and Prodigy... A landmark racer and one of the all time classics on this console.

    Deceptively deep, this is the new blueprint for action RPGs and one of the last must-haves for the N64.
    • 93 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    It’s the best next-gen basketball game available, easily beating "NBA Live 2002" for the PS2, which is more of a roster upgrade than a revamping of the game.

    Simply the best hockey game ever released.
    • 92 Metascore

    It has great competitive factions, a large line-up of diverse skaters, and some of the most mind-blowing, thumb-numbing, breathtaking tricks yet seen on a console snowboarding game.

    Cute, funny and continuously enchanting - it's what good gaming is all about.

    A great medieval romp that plays just like the espionage thrillers "Syphon Filther 2" or "Metal Gear Solid." It's a welcome reprieve from traditional role playing games like "Secret of Mana."

    A true sleeper out of left field, packed with depth, style and replay value.

    The first game was an undeniable classic that could easily be ruined in the wrong hands. We're here to tell you to pack those fears away in a box because this is the dream sequel.

    Seriously addictive - and seriously fun.

    Probably the most fun game out for the Game Cube right now. It's not really a fighting game as much as it is a four-person party brawling game.

    It's fun, whether you're playing solo and trying to complete the Crazy Box-type mini games or going head-to-head in the four-player mode, and it will instantly become a party classic.

    Nice one, although it needs a gigantic monster of a machine to really play properly.

    Easily the best game of its type on the PlayStation.

    Without a doubt the most intriguing, most competent, and most encompassing game of the franchise. It's a great game, the best RPG the PS2 has to offer, and it does a good job of weaving story and structure together.

    Essential. Brilliant.

    The constantly evolving waves and progressively harder CPU opponents mean that Wave Race 64 never stops from being challenging.

    The environments look spectacular, with appropriate decor lining every object in the huge stages and good use of shadows and lighting. Character animation is a riot.

    • 90 Critic Score
    The game is on the short side and once you are well practiced it won't take much longer than 30 minutes to beat it. But believe this, this is one great party game, you'll be in stitches as people fumble their way through the rap when they first start. Parappa is a must have game.

    You can't help shake the feeling that Rare threw offensive material into the game merely for the sake of offending. Once you get over your initial shock at so much swearing, you'll find a competent game with great humor hidden among all the fart jokes.

    Fun, pure and simple - the scenarios and environments it's based on were paid for with blood, sweat, and tears. It's makes the game an honor to play.

    Madden certainly has style, substance and reputation behind it, but "NFL2K1" (for Dreamcast) has an undefinable fun factor that makes it more readily playable.
    • 91 Metascore

    It’s a rare game that combines style and simple, brilliant play, and a very worthy choice for King of the PS2 platformers.

    Multiplayer of course shines, and there's never been a better excuse to splash out for that cable modem than the multi-tiered dogfights possible in FreeSpace 2. The best of its kind yet.
    • 91 Metascore

    This is a game you'll probably keep coming back to periodically even as the years progress -- its simplicity and charm will likely ensure it a lasting place in your game library.
