    Although there are a few minor annoyances, it’s unbelievable speed, mind-blowing tracks, and great upgrade selection make this a definite sleeper hit for racing fans.

    It's a more in-depth game than High Heat, which is why All Star moves slower and the games seem longer.

    Just the right mix of action, role-play, and strategy.

    The best soccer game around.

    For Dreamcast gamers who like to pilot their systems solo, Ooga Booga just seems like one long, boring trial.

    A wonderful showcase for those forgotten SNK fighters, but it’s also geared for highly knowledgeable players who know the difference between a cross-up and a deep cross.

    It is without a doubt the best sim-style boxing game on the PS2, and it makes "Ready 2 Rumble 2" look even sillier. But if you're expecting or are looking for a Rumble type game, steer clear of this title.

    Everything we could have hoped for – great new levels (with just a touch of the old levels left in), vastly improved graphics, and another great soundtrack.

    It looks good and plays well, but is missing elements of action and suspense that make a game like this story-heavy vampire hunter easier to digest.

    An instant classic, and makes golf more fun while keeping it real.

    It does not have the extensive room-searching and switch setting that "Doom" has, but it also is a little easier on the eyes and infinitely more intuitive -- it's pick-up-and-play first-person shooting at it's most entertaining and visceral level.

    Each world has a unique feel and you’re given free reign to explore it while coating the walls with insect insides. You’ve never seen so many special effects on the screen at one time in any Nintendo 64 game before this, and some of the more action-packed scenes later on in the game really light up the screen. Top class.

    A retake on the original product that yields surprisingly sharp results because of the compacted nature.

    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.

    If you’re expecting the latest in 3D graphics and CD-quality sound, you’re going to be disappointed. Besides the extra cinematic scenes made especially for this release, this plays, looks and sounds just like a 16-bit SNES game.

    The game will never live up to the PC version, and the two-player mode (although better than battling on your own), makes a mockery of the fun of the computer's multiplayer capabilities.

    Capcom and SNK fans will be wettin' their pants for this one -- everyone else (including fight fans accustomed to more sophisticated graphics) will find this tepid at best. Marvel vs. Capcom 2 is a much more exciting game.

    A large part of the game’s charm is it’s humor, but that’s not to say that the action, graphics, and sound don’t also meet the standard of a great PS2 game.

    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").

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

    But the one thing that can’t be overlooked is that the game is over way too soon...(but) lives up to the engine it’s built on – it’s a great companion to "THPS2."

    This investment is worth it for the time being – there’s no other wrestling games, and this one holds its own.

    A fun and carefree flight sim that anyone can (and everyone should) enjoy.

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

    Brief, nonsensical, infuriating and exhilarating, this is the perfect antidote to bland wrestling games and sub-par RPGs. Sexy fantastic!

    Simply the best rally game for the PS2, and directly in competition with Rallisport for the hearts and minds of rally racing.

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

    One of the best looking mini-baseball games ever.

    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.

    It’s a captivating run for about the first ten hours of play, then dungeon levels become too mechanical. Still, for all its shortcomings, the game also has its share of charms.
