    The easily accessible humor and storyline of such adventure classics as "Broken Sword" and "Monkey Island" are lacking in here, though, but it's a pretty ride while it lasts.

    EA took a static sport like snowmobiling and gave it the Tricky makeover, adding more detail, more depth to the levels, and more care in the level design.

    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.

    A better-than-average motorcycle simulation, with a deep career mode and satisfying racing action.

    The unconventional control system can take a short while to get completely accustomed with - being able to rotate and move in any direction can quickly result with up becoming down and players getting disorientated very quickly.

    Placing first is about as hard as finding Star Wars fan clubs on the web... Revenge is a dish best served cold - this Revenge never warms up.

    3D terrain, AI that for once is actually more intelligent than artificial, lots of things to build and most importantly pretty explosions when something blows up.

    You may have a harder time with all the backtracking, the imprecise jumping and exploration, and the overall large-scale scope of the game. In any case...a solid performer.

    A fun game, but is it the best 3D update to the classic NBA Jam? No -- and it's not as good as many of the 2D incarnations either.

    Looks better than NFL Gameday 2002, and plays better than QB Club or Gameday, but it doesn't have the serious adjustments in the computer controlled players to compete with Madden, Fever, or NFL 2K2.

    It's less of a game than Pokemon Stadium to be sure, but fans of the whole phenomenon will leap right to it.

    This is a fun little arcade-style racing title designed to give you an outlet for aggression. Go into it with the right expectations, and you'll have a blast.

    It’s a great snack until the Hawk strikes back. Pick it up now and you’ll be done with it by the weekend.

    Check it out if you love to fish, or if you just want to spend a lazy afternoon with a beer in one hand and your rod in the other.

    A good game, with some flawed controls, but a nice look.
    • 85 Metascore

    A fantastic racer with great control and a large number of tracks and cars to choose from. Add in the multiplayer mode, and this is a game you really cannot afford to miss.

    The only real problem is a distinct lack of creativity.

    Although it briefly brought back memories of the classic "Jungle Strike" and even "Chopper Attack," it felt like a rehash of the older Air Attack game – and it is. But this rehash doesn’t even have enough spark to keep you interested for very long.

    This is one of those quirky, indefinable puzzle games that you have to play to understand. Novice players will immediately be hooked, while experienced puzzle fans may find that this wet Tetris is too easy.

    If you compare it feature-by-feature to the other versions, you may come to two conclusions – it’s not as good, but it’s still as cool (and fun) to play.

    A step above the arcade driving of "Ridge Racer," and a little more serious than the "Need for Speed" series, but it still doesn't beat the granddaddy of great racing games ("Gran Turismo").
    • 65 Metascore

    The real question is whether it's more fun than NBA Showtime or previous versions of NBA Jam, and the answer there would probably be no.

    If you've gotten tired of the same old formula, or you're a big fan of the more RPG-like combat system of the original game, you may want to pass on PE II.

    Not as deep, heavy or pretty as the competition, but strangely appealing once the journey starts rolling.
    • 71 Metascore

    Another facet of the game is a pseudo-RPG element, which adds some replay value to the game, but becomes so ridiculously tedious after a short while that you won't go back to it.

    The hardest part of the game is listening to E. Gadd, and the biggest challenges are the patterned and easily beatable bosses.

    Since the game requires the bundled Expansion Pak, you would think that the graphics would take the Nintendo 64 to new levels. This sadly isn't the case - there's still cases of pop up and fog - but we can safely say that there aren't many games out there that look as good as this.And hey, any game with monkeys in it is cool by us.

    We only recommend it to fans of the series and RPG players who can't stomach all the fancy-shmancy-ness of RPG's like Final Fantasy and games of their ilk.

    The soft AI doesn’t make its way into the Quarterback Challenge, easily the most fun part of the game (and developed well, it could turn into a game on its own).
    • 90 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Each of the 3D worlds are crammed tight with interesting layouts, dazzling backgrounds and novel gameplay situations. You never are at a loss to find your next objective - the flip side is that there's little room to explore and find all the cool secret stuff found in other games of this type.
