    It sits squarely in the middle of fun and boring.

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

    Fans of "StarCraft" "WarCraft," and even "Myth" will love this new addition to the real-time strategy genre, and Trek fans finally have worlds of their own to build, populate -- or destroy.

    It's the role-model for mediocre action games.

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

    ITF is still a better game.

    For driving fans used to the rigors of Gran Turismo and Ridge Racer, 007 rates about a 003 on the fun factor scale.

    Doesn't add anything to the venerable Twisted Metal series - it just subtracts, and subtracts, and subtracts, until the only thing small is the fun.

    Gameday fans are owed an apology for this morass of bad controls and weak graphics.

    You may find yourself saying things like "well, it was only ten bucks..." at various points while playing the game, but the fact is there are worse games than this that cost a lot more.

    GameDay 2002 finally got the ball, but it's late in the fourth and the other teams (Madden and NFL 2K2) are already celebrating.

    This is old-school gaming -- it feels like Urban Chaos, looks like the first Tomb Raider, and smells like a bomb.

    It’s one of those rare games that you find yourself playing just to see how it turns out.
    • 49 Metascore

    A good game with solid mechanics backing up its good visuals, but the depth and breadth of the game will have you sitting around waiting for more snow in a very dry season.

    Jam fans will find the move to the Advance didn't really make the experience any better.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    The animation is spotty at best, missing blocks of frames, while the monsters are chunky messes. The “blood” effects are pixilated eyesores too.

    It's certainly not the worst kart racer out there. But this isn't supposed to be a kart racer, this is supposed to be an RC racer -- it's there right in the title. And at that, the game fails pretty miserably.

    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.

    A bitter pill to swallow. Still, you could waste an afternoon or two on this and still find yourself fairly amazed with some of the puzzle elements, the hunt for horror exploration aspect, and all the chainsaw-ripping, zombie-blasting gore.
    • 48 Metascore

    It’s a jerky, blocky looking mess for most of the levels with a minimum of frames for each animation. There are Super NES games that are leagues ahead of this eyesore.

    A pointless sequel that adds nothing to its genre or franchise. Almost as dreadful as its N64 counterpart.
    • 48 Metascore

    Better than bad is sometimes still pretty bad, and that's the case here -- though at least the frame rate is not so piss-poor as to be completely unplayable.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Tedious micromanagement kills the fun before the going gets good.

    It's good for those that want all their classics in one cart - but the Game Boy Color versions are exactlt the same.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    This is a thoroughly disappointing effort, and one that does not live up to the World Series Baseball name.

    A solid, competent extreme bike game, without a lot of frills, and with little style, but hey – when did style and grace ever figure into extreme sports?
    • 47 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Short, mindless fun.

    There's nothing in AMSH2 that warrants a commendation. Give this company an honorable discharge already.

    If you ever get the tricks down (and we're still trying), the game could be fun, although it's no "Tony Hawk," which it tries to emulate in style and form.
    • 45 Metascore

    Don’t let the soft controls or graphic glitches deter you, though. Arctic Thunder still has some fun in the engine, mostly in the breakneck pace of the races.
