    I can see the series getting a little tired, and it doesn't quite have that magical "aura" that the first couple did. But nonetheless there's plenty to keep you busy.

    It's easy to play, looks awesome, and is outright fun. Fore!!!

    A game of epic proportions.

    The new Konquest mode is ok but nothing major. And I do wish the controls weren't so unforgiving sometimes. It's still Mortal Kombat though, and that's totally ok with me.

    The more I have played this game, the higher my review score has gone. The farther I got in, the more I enjoyed the puzzles, and the more I appreciated the throwback to the game that started all of this.

    Radical Entertainment did a wonderful job not only keeping Scarface close to the source material, but also creating a sequel to a movie that was never going to see a sequel.

    With the addition of PS2 online play and another tightening of the gameplay across the board, who's going to really be a challenge this year?

    A worthy sequel to an already solid game. New missions, and fantastic new online modes makes SOCOM II one of the better online titles on the PS2.

    SRS has a lot of good things going for it, including some solid comtrols and AI, a very good online mode with pink slips and all, and a very open ended racing system.

    Electronic Arts really has turned the Need For Speed series into something very special. The series was starting to get old with rehash after rehash, now each Underground title seems to get better and better with every release.

    All of the changes and new features were all for the better, and any wrestling fan will be happy with this game.

    Personally, I would have preferred they left out the new modes and added online play. The new modes were poorly executed, and online play would have made a great game even better.

    The Legends Tournament alone is reason to own NBA Jam.

    The Lead Blocking adds an all new dimension to the game, the Superstar mode lets you live the life of a NFL player, and the countless number of options and features add up to hours upon hours of enjoyment.

    It has a very good storyline backed by some great character design and some very good scares.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    It's got solid and easy-to-learn gameplay, a very good career mode, and online gameplay which to me always adds points to my score.
    • 72 Metascore

    While I would have liked to have seen online gameplay (and I do take off points for that), the single player campaign is very stong, and the storyline will keep you sucked into it. The controls are great, and the presentation is great.

    And the gameplay is improved a good deal from last year, giving you more of a realistic feel while maintaining a fast-paced arcadey kind of feel.

    I only have one small complaint in the gameplay department. It's a hair bit easy. I've went though the entire game without dying once on the standard difficulty.

    It’s a must for old schoolers and also a must for the younger generation so they can see what we had to play and how far videogaming has come in the last 20 years.

    Better song quality and duets are what make Volume 3 a must have for fans of the series. And don't forget, this is a heck of a party game to pull out at your kids birthday party, or if you're just having some friends over.

    Easily the best golf game to date on a console. The gameplay is solid and has been refined over the years. The course selection is great, and the Tiger Proofing adds more to those courses.

    If you like “sneaker” type thinking games, I am fairly certain that you would enjoy this game quite a bit.

    The gameplay is improved a good deal from last year, giving you more of a realistic feel while maintaining a fast-paced arcadey kind of feel. The fight has been taken right to the competition, and EA might just be catching up in the Basketball department.

    In some areas, the graphics rival that of the PS2 version. Spider-Man looks sharp, the cut-scenes are cool, and the environments are nicely done. In addition to looking good, the game also runs very smoothly.
