    Samba de Amigo
    Like "Mario Party," " Bust-A-Groove," and even "Tetris" and assorted Tetris-clones, Samba De Amigo forces you to have a good time despite the fact that you don't want to caught dead shaking a pair of plastic maracas in front of your friends.

    Close Combat: Invasion: Normandy
    It's not a huge improvement over the last in the series, but then the series doesn't need much improving to begin with.
    • 91 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    Spyro: Year of the Dragon
    Like "Sonic" and "Crash," Spyro grabs on and doesn't let go, and the complexity of the levels, hidden games, and non-stop action make it one of the year's best platform games.

    Superbike 2001
    While on the highest difficulty the realism is still a little overwhelming, there are many driving aids to keep you on the track and keep the game fun.

    Ogre Battle 64
    Best of all, the enemy's AI is fairly ruthless and will put up a good fight.

    Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles
    Smoother, faster animation (the game runs at 60 frames per second) and awesome lighting effects dominate the game's look, while transparency filters, water effects, and background movements round out the spectacular visuals.

    Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike
    This is one beautiful title to look at, despite the rather lackluster character designs.

    Jarrett & Labonte Stock Car Racing
    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").

    Frogger 2: Swampy's Revenge
    A definite improvement over the first 3D title in both control and camera viewpoint.

    Spawn: In the Demon's Hand
    Think of it as something akin to the original "PowerStone" -- but with a hell of lot more firepower, and an even more sinister setting.
    • 48 Metascore

    Amazons & Aliens
    Tedious micromanagement kills the fun before the going gets good.

    MTV Sports: Pure Ride
    A definite purchase for snowboarders and extreme sportsters who have finished playing "Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2" and "Dave Mirra BMX Freestyle Racing."

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

    Hogs of War
    Crude presentation and lackluster humor can't save this game from the trough.
    • 86 Metascore

    Dino Crisis 2
    Great graphics, excellent sound, solid control, and lots of replayability. Eons of fun!
    • 71 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Panzer General III: Scorched Earth
    Basically, though, this is the same game as the original -- the differences being more units, a better play balance, new campaigns, a new leader-based combat system, and obviously updated graphics.

    Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue
    May keep your little five-year old brother entertained.

    NASCAR Heat
    This is the best simulation of NASCAR racing yet.

    Army Men: Sarge's Heroes 2
    There's nothing in AMSH2 that warrants a commendation. Give this company an honorable discharge already.
    • 73 Metascore

    Sanity: Aiken's Artifact
    It's flashy looks and mind-blowing storyline, combined with Ice T and some simple controls make "Sanity" a lot of fun as well.

    NHL 2001
    The frame rate is pretty bad and arenas are generic, but player models look detailed, at least.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    Tokyo Xtreme Racer 2
    What really makes the game, though, like the first, is the overall racing atmosphere.

    ESPN International Track & Field
    But to beat the horse to death even more, there are precious few events (no swimming events, which is disappointing), and some of the events seem like odd inclusions (trap shooting?).

    Metal Gear Solid
    PC gamers who have had no prior exposure to this game will definitely want to take a look, as this is still the same great game it always was.

    Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2
    Grind until your wheels fall off, because that's what we do almost every single day.

    NASCAR 2001
    A trunk-full of options will have stock car jockeys busy for weeks.

    Crimson Skies
    If you're either bored with or overwhelmed by standard realistic PC flight sims, give this one a try.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX
    A great action game, a competitive extreme sports title, and the best bike racing game ever made for the PlayStation.

    NFL Blitz 2001
    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.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    NFL Blitz 2001
    After months of 2K1, GameDay, and Madden, Blitz is a welcome and very fun addition to the football lineup.
