    It is a fun game that anyone can play without shelling out for added accessories or peripherals, and it simply oozes style.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A simple flight combat game with stunning visuals (like most X-Box games, stunning visuals and great game play seem to hide from each other), mediocre sound, and good controls.

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

    Q-Ball does a good job of "simming" pool for professional players, and thereby seems more real then "Real."

    If platform-hopping and coin-collection isn't your bag, you'll want to avoid Crash before he gets on your last nerve.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    With the exception of the very tight turns in the game, it's as easy as shelling peanuts once you get a few practice rounds in.

    • 80 Critic Score
    A quality football game with an excellent pedigree behind its game engine...the most serious deficiencies being in the undeveloped legacy mode and the horrendously bad commentary.

    Stratego meets Braveheart in this entertaining and simple game.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A strangely cool and addictive game. But we have to take a point off for what is sure to be a limited appeal.

    • 80 Critic Score
    One of the best looking mini-baseball games ever.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Amazingly enough the four-window split screen mode works incredibly well, with each portion of the screen running in high resolution and at super high speeds.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A retake on the original product that yields surprisingly sharp results because of the compacted nature.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The score gets dragged down just a bit by the short length and some AI problems, but this is still a fun game.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It looks better than the PS2 version, and it plays a little more solidly.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A decent job of reskinning the old PlayStation version with new Dreamcast graphics, the game is still dark and moody, with the action well spaced out between the tense situations.

    • 80 Critic Score
    So the control is a little squirrelly and the music tries for Mozart but hits Muzak instead? It doesn't matter, because the game has an overall sensation of speed and danger that forgives a lot of the flaws.

    Owners of the original, however, have little reason to upgrade -- unless the idea of beating a virtual Michael Jackson to a bloody pulp is just too juicy for you to pass up.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Silent Scope looks good, sounds good, plays okay, but it's still a lot of fun -- but there's not a whole lot left to enjoy.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It’s fun, not terribly complex, and good-looking (kind of like my last girlfriend).
    • 69 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It wears on you after a while, but for new players, you have a lot of passengers to pick up before you get jaded.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A witty and pretty game that's absorbing and charming, but ultimately will bore you with its long quests and constant backtracking.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Rez
    Rez is mindless, simple fun - with the emphasis on fun. If you don't blow out your eyes on this one, you're sure to blow out your thumbs.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Take KISS out of the picture and you have a mildly entertaining shooter that does an adequate job of shooting things up. But if you're a KISS fan expecting lots of face paint and heavy guitar riffs, forget it.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    All right, so the gameplay isn't that far removed from the standard RTS fare but Kingdoms is fresh enough thanks to the unique setting that it gets away with it.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Hot Shots Golf 3 takes the game into a whole hilarious new direction - but the realism it loses may hinder real golf fans.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Needs a little more time in the development pot - there's real sparks of fun and imagination here, but the sluggish pace outstrips the game's pick-up-and-play feel.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    While we wait for the next Microprose effort, this is a fine way to pass the time.

    Capcom and SNK fans will be wettin' their pants for this one -- everyone else (including fight fans accustomed to more sophisticated graphics) will find this tepid at best. Marvel vs. Capcom 2 is a much more exciting game.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A fun and carefree flight sim that anyone can (and everyone should) enjoy.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A credible and solid outing, Top Gun is top fun – if you have the patience to stick with it.
