    This is an un-pretentious little role playing game that doesn't try to be anything more than it is, and as a side-quest to a larger RPG universe, it succeeds.

    May not be as polished or pretty as "Code: Veronica," or as fast-paced and action-packed as "Dino Crisis 2," but it certainly has elements of both of those games in it.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    Just the right mix of action, role-play, and strategy.

    If you're a FIFA newbie and own nothing but a PSX, FIFA 2001 is by far the best soccer sim out there.

    How could Reflections screw this up so bad? Driver 2 is a pale reflection (har har) of the original.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Good for the nostalgia crowd, and that's the target audience. It's a cheap package too, so it's probably worth it. But what's with the slowdown in such old games?
    • 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.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Fast, fun, and full of fire, but it's way too short. Even on all the difficulty levels you are getting the same game all around.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    These are still great, classic games that are worth owning if you can find the package for a decent price.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The game is fun to watch (and that's mostly what you'll be doing) for a couple of hours, but beyond that the repetitive pre-scripted cut-scenes and ease of play will leave you bored.
    • 94 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    A triumph of style with a touch of whimsy, this Fantasy is the perfect finale to an era of PS RPG gaming.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A sunny-side up surprise, the best movie-to-console game in ages and not that far from the Dreamcast version. Two wings up.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A decent kart racer that never makes full use of its license and falls a bit flat in gameplay.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The best feature of the game is that no matter how low your school's hoops program is in real life, you can take your school to the championship.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Of the four versions of this game out there, this is probably the least fun due to the choppy frame rate and blurry graphics, not to mention the apparently missing fighters.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    With a strong difficulty level, plenty of tracks and several game modes, Mickey's Speedway is a good value for those who don't have a kart racer in their library.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Play it long enough and you may start to enjoy it, but the long load times and cheap AI mean you'll likely never get to that point.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Unlike the Colonel Sander's recipe there are no secret ingredients here, just a keen attention to style and basic video game concepts.
    • 93 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    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.

    And it is fun, for a while, at least until you discover the unbalanced gameplay and learn to beat your opponents into submission with just a few hits.
    • 91 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    From the swank voice-over cast and Bond-ian soundtrack to the pounding rattle of machine gun fire, nobody does (sound) better.

    Repeat this to yourself over and over if you find yourself tempted to purchase this title: "I will not buy this game today, I will not buy it any day. I will not buy it in a store, I will not play it on the floor..."
    • 76 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Changing into an angelic creature with magical powers from time to time is something you haven't seen in a survival horror title before, and makes Devil Inside well worth playing.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Of the two "last-gen" versions of this game out there (N64 and PSX), this is the better one. It pales in comparison to the PS2 and DC versions, however.

    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.
    • 93 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    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.

    Norse mythology provides plenty of story and imagery to this 3D action game.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    It's a difficult game, but its thinking-man's style of approaching missions will keep you coming back for more.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    If the game was a bit longer, or if even each mission took longer to complete than the 5-10 minutes generally required, maybe we could give the game a higher score - shoddy visuals and all.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The better money is with "Q-Ball Billiards Master," which is far and away better than this.
