    You could easily be playing this game for 60-70 hours. That’s absolutely insane for a platform game – but every single hour’s a fun one. If you own a Dreamcast, SA2 is one of the system’s essential titles.

    The game’s best aspect by far is the sound – and the hours of dialogue which make up the base of the game’s audio.

    A monster facial to the arcade hoops competition. Bow down suckas - there’s a new champ on the court. Once NUFX works out the kinks, it’ll be unstoppable.

    For all its graphical splendor and high level of polish, the game’s inherent flaws are its high level of difficulty and relative lack of depth.

    Even with the graphical limitations of the PS One, the game still looked good enough to scare the wits out of us, and often seemed more threatening and tense than the "Resident Evil" games.

    It may be short on imagination and long on Disney, but it’s not a bad game for kids. Action gamers may find Atlantis a bit lost.

    Merely a good game that feels a bit old hat.

    Features fun gameplay with more depth than you'll find in most GameBoy games so far.

    The best version of Super Mario 2/Mario Brothers on the market. If that’s what you’re looking for, buy this game. If you’re expecting more than a port of a ten year old game, though, you may be disappointed.

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

    Not as spectacular an update as we would have liked.

    This investment is worth it for the time being – there’s no other wrestling games, and this one holds its own.

    It’s hard enough to see on the Advance as it is – some of the darker areas in Pitfall make the game unplayable.

    It may be derivative, but it’s still a lot of fun. The only real negative may be that most players have probably not heard of many of the included characters.

    They’re great for killing a few minutes while riding the train or standing in line at your local Burger King.

    The beautiful rendering of the cars, the colorful tracks, and the responsive controls all come together in one cool, portable package.

    Still has its brand of goofy appeal; there’s nothing quite like the sight of stuffed animals pumping each other full of lead...Hardcore FPS fans and platform purists should stay away.

    Like any program of its ilk, the quality of the results you get from it will be in direct proportion to the amount of time you put into it. Just beware of the memory limitations.

    There’s nothing about Army Men Advance that compels us to pick it up again.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    An excellent buy for newbies looking for humor and gameplay depth. While it doesn’t alter the franchise’s formula, it’s still as fun and frustrating as its predecessors.

    One of the best things about Train Simulator is that like its flying cousin, this is basically an open-source graphics and physics engine that anyone can expand on and add objects, trains, routes, and activities to.

    One of the best Advance games at launch...But you’d better be in for a learning curve – although a small one.

    This boxer needs a cut man to throw in the towel immediately.

    Looks great, but just try to aim and move at the same time. We'd rather play Galaga from "Namco Museum."

    It’s a captivating run for about the first ten hours of play, then dungeon levels become too mechanical. Still, for all its shortcomings, the game also has its share of charms.

    What do caviar, waterbeds, and David Lynch films have in common? They’re all unique acquired tastes - as is the Tokyo Xtreme Racer series. Once you’re hooked on the “scene”, though, you’ll never let go.

    It’s just a little too frustrating without adding anything that’s really all that new – the Crazy Hop doesn’t really fundamentally alter the game all that much, meaning the game feels more like a Crazy Taxi map add-on pack than anything else.

    Lots of options, plenty of races, and some challenge puts this racer in a league of its own – it’s actually better than some of the official NASCAR racers available now.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    It’s a slick, smart, very Golden-Eye-ish game and will certainly appeal to a mixed crossover audience that wants action, espionage, and a movie-feel to their game.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Great graphics, excellent sound, and solid controls are all offset by a game that’s over before it started. This one is way too short.
