    Ball Breakers
    If you think of it as "Road Rash" up close and personal (and want to see a game like that), then go ahead and break these balls.

    • 70 Critic Score
    Dark Summit
    The objectives in the game go from too easy to patience-busting hard, and that's a shame, because if there was consistency in the objectives, the game could have headed in another direction.

    Starship Troopers: Terran Ascendancy
    Here we have the opposite of the norm -- a great game based on a bad film.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Driven
    It has solid graphics, fairly good sound, but flawed driving mechanics that ultimately bring the game down.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    WWF Raw
    Just when you want to like a wrestling game, and there are a lot of things to like about WWF Raw, the cheap AI makes the game difficult and frustrating to play.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Chicken Run
    Unlike the Colonel Sander's recipe there are no secret ingredients here, just a keen attention to style and basic video game concepts.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Shadow Man: 2econd Coming
    There's plenty to be scared of in Shadow Man 2econd Coming, it's just a matter of whether or not you have the patience and commitment to raise the dead once again.

    • 60 Critic Score
    Vanishing Point
    Long on ideas but well short on design and execution -- a game that for the most part looks as good as originally promised, but with some shoddy controls that almost ruin the experience.

    Ready 2 Rumble Boxing: Round 2
    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.

    MotoGP
    A good game, with some flawed controls, but a nice look.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Planet Monsters
    A good puzzle game that too often repeats itself and never shows the edge it needed to stay ahead of the game.

    Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX: Maximum Remix
    It’s a repackaged version of the original. A few new levels aren’t enough to give this game a proper fun factor score – if you’ve played before, you’ll be disappointed.

    Mystical Ninja starring Goemon
    The odd nature of the story and world is a change of pace (now there's an understatement) from the rest of the pack, and this one is probably worth checking out.

    PaRappa the Rapper 2
    Brevity is what kills this game. It's not impossible to play through the whole game in under an hour, and some of the side games, like a 2-player head-to-head game, just don't seem to extend the fun.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Tsugunai: Atonement
    It's not the deepest game, nor is it lengthy by any means, but it is fun, despite the long periods of walking and talking.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    NFL Quarterback Club 2002
    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).
    • 67 Metascore

    The Simpsons Road Rage
    The game is not there for the amusement or entertainment of the general public - it's a special, silly game reserved for true aficionados of the Simpsons. Count us in.

    Cel Damage
    It belongs on the Game Cube -- the fast-paced action, silly game play, and innovative graphics will find a more appreciative audience here.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Extermination
    Although not terrible complicated or intricate, it’s still a great game with a good interface and lots of scary stuff.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Dark Summit
    It's not as good as Shaun Palmer or Tricky, but it does a good job of extending the playability with the mission-based levels.

    RayCrisis: Series Termination
    Dogged by its short length, unlimited continues and past-due graphics, this shooter barely scrapes by the mediocre mark.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Circus Maximus: Chariot Wars
    Circus Maximus isn't the best game for the X-Box, nor is it the most fun - but it certainly is innovative, and you might find yourself playing for hours despite your objections.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    18 Wheeler: American Pro Trucker
    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.
    • 66 Metascore

    F1 Championship Season 2000
    The Roseanne of racing games. Some may say it has substance, but man, is it ugly.
    • 66 Metascore

    SnoCross Championship Racing
    In order to even get out of the gate, you really have to like snowmobile racing.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    All-Star Baseball 2002
    All Star Baseball 2002 isn't perfect; there could be changes made in the hitting and fielding interfaces, but it is damn near perfect.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    NASCAR 2001
    It's almost impossible to ignore the game's graphical flaws -- specifically, its propensity to suddenly switch from high-res to low-res mode in the middle of a race, taking the frame rate south with it.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex
    If platform-hopping and coin-collection isn't your bag, you'll want to avoid Crash before he gets on your last nerve.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The Bouncer
    An above average game -- it just had so much more unrealized potential. And it gets damn annoying at times.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    Secret Agent: Cold War Espionage
    The move to complete 3D freedom of movement and real-time environments adds a whole new dimension to the game, and finally makes it feel like it is a game rather than simply a series of static images and mental puzzles.
