    SSX
    Stellar arcade-style fun and one of the best games for the PS2. It's only hampered by some mild slow-down and a steep difficulty curve.

    It's the best, most well-rounded basketball game out there, and soars above the competitors.

    The music is really good, and the challenge is incredibly hard.

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

    It’s a testament to the thought and heart that went behind Chrono Trigger that, despite a new loading problem, the game is still more fun than most of its present-day competition.

    There are only about three really great N64 first-person shooters, and this is one of those three.

    The controls in NHL 2K2 get the nod for being the most intuitive in the genre.

    There are so many options to earn -- like new levels, more continues, faster recharge on your special weapons – that you’ll find yourself playing over and over again just to see what’s next.

    A great fun game, the only small drawback being super easy battling compromised by super cheap attacks later in the game (Magneto is pure cheese).

    The addictive nature of Puyo Pop makes it one of the best puzzle games ever.

    The game's major weakness is in the combat system - there's too many loopholes that can be exploited with the Draw technique, making combat tedious and mundane after a while.

    It won't make you stand up and cheer, but it will keep you busy - like a good game should.

    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.

    The perfect version of this game, and the one that will be remembered as the best of the bunch.
    • 79 Metascore

    It's a lot of fun, and the mini-games help to break up the action, but the game is still too short, and the number of locales too small.

    If you want the hard-boiled action of "Grand Theft Auto III" up close and personal, this is the game for you.

    More than just a celebrity cash-in, this is a great first-person shooter.

    It's all fun and cute until you bust a cap in a bear's ass and watch him wiggle and die.

    The game is on the short side and once you are well practiced it won't take much longer than 30 minutes to beat it. But believe this, this is one great party game, you'll be in stitches as people fumble their way through the rap when they first start. Parappa is a must have game.

    Probably the most fun game out for the Game Cube right now. It's not really a fighting game as much as it is a four-person party brawling game.

    This would be considered a mission-pack add on in the PC world, but for fans of the series, it's a great new game with additional elements that enhance an old, but stable, gaming engine.

    It is a racing game – a good but flawed one, a technically masterful piece of work that still has not gotten the gameplay of racing against other drivers quite right. In some ways, it’s actually a step backwards from GT2.

    If you get past the controls, you'll be rewarded with a fun, thoughtful adventure.

    We have to be impressed by the number of included titles, faithfulness of the emulation, and the huge amount of archival material. Our only real gripes are the controls and lack of save support.

    It’s also got a story line that will interest you, and characters that are individually conceived, and not just palette or costume swaps of each other. Project Justice does justice to the genre.

    Probably one of the top five PS2 launch titles in both graphics and gameplay, X Squad shouldn't be passed up.

    If you're either bored with or overwhelmed by standard realistic PC flight sims, give this one a try.
    • 72 Metascore

    The best PS One fighting game to come along in a while, and probably the last great fighting game for the PS One.

    The thing that Oddworld does that’s so fascinating to gamers is that it transports you to another world, a totally believable place where you’re more than happy to stay and play for a while.
    • 84 Metascore

    An excellent adult plot, cool graphics, and style to burn make this a must-have in the adventure genre.
