    Technically speaking, Silent Scope 2 isn’t much of an advance over the original Silent Scope, and in some ways it’s actually a step backwards.

    Compared to "Spiderman," another Activision release, this game pales like Storm’s hair. It’s a good game, but an even better rental.

    When you've been spoiled by the big boys like "NBA 2K2" or "NBA Live," this seems so freshman.

    The game play appeals to the young and hopelessly naïve gamers who think they're reliving the movie experience. Good luck to them - to the rest of us, spend your X-bucks on something a little more sophisticated.

    It's the same old game, and a short one at that.

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

    Relying too much on its past as other more advanced games pass it by, the series is fast becoming one for diehard fans only.

    Once you get the hang of things, Wetrix can be an addictive and fun puzzler. Don't feel bad if you can't be bothered to dip your toe in, though - you won't be the only one.

    The main problems with 4X4 Evo, though, are the frustratingly cheap cheating of the computer opponents that never seem to let you actually get ahead by spending your hard-earned money on upgrades...

    With the addition of min-games like First and Goal, Blitz is destined to become a party favorite, but don't expect a lot more than last years game.
    • 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.
    • 68 Metascore

    What it lacks in the variety of teams it makes up for in the variety of options.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    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.

    Easily the most enjoyable of the three JP games released by Konami.
    • 77 Metascore

    Far from an awful game due to its relative depth and difficulty. It just doesn’t do anything we haven’t seen before.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    In the short term at least it's fun, very good fun in fact, and excellent for those retro fans who are desperate for a 2D platforming fix. Just don't expect to be playing it a year from now.

    If DW3 was the video game equivalent of "Braveheart," then Kessen II is Kuroswawa's "Ran" -- just a little more meat in your dish.

    Can’t live up to its big brother on the PS2, but don’t let that stop you from playing it, especially if you’re a NASCAR fan. It’s fun, exciting, and very playable, but its hard to keep people who’ve seen the Sistine Chapel to appreciate graffiti.

    Although not the stellar accomplishment that "Splashdown" was for the Atari label, it's still a solid effort, and a good choice for fans of motocross.
    • 62 Metascore

    The graphics in this Advance title aren’t that bad – but they don’t look that much more spectacular than the GBC wrestling games.
    • 54 Metascore

    Where March Madness doesn't compete is in the game play respect afforded to the big timers - "NBA Live 2002" and "NBA 2K2." The game has a slower pace and a less hurried feel than real basketball.

    Plagued by nagging glitches and cumbersome controls, MLB 2002 nevertheless delivers one of the better hardball experiences on the PSOne.

    If you like your N64 titles simple and charming, and can live without strategic game play or thoughtful graphics and sound, than this scaled-back version of the TV show is right up your alley.

    If you've never played Quake on any machine before, this is one of the best versions available this side of the original PC game.
    • 71 Metascore

    A relatively solid, if unspectacular, first effort for the F1 Championship series on the PS2 that plays pretty realistically. On the other hand, there's nothing here that a casual racing fan would find immediately compelling.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Moves a bit closer to the PC version in terms of both features and quality, but it's still not quite there.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It's a game for Chan fans: everyone else would do better with "Final Fight One."
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A good puzzle game that too often repeats itself and never shows the edge it needed to stay ahead of the game.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The game has no direction or purpose, and its one of the few games that seems so dull on the PlayStation 2.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    it's no SSX Tricky or Shaun Palmer, but it has a great look and some daunting challenges.
