    • 62 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A mildly fast racing game with mediocre techno beats, unbalanced gameplay, but “wow” worthy environments.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    A disorienting thrill ride of white/black strategy; an unbelievable roller coaster of shooting glory.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A fine continuation of what's shaping up to be quite an epic RPG series.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    The boss battles are downright silly.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    Astounding.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    I had and am still having a lot of fun with the first Burnout, and Burnout 2 is better in every way.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    What this game lacks in glitz and glamour, it makes up in structure, skill and longevity.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A pleasant enough game that seems like a sure way to keep fans of the show happily occupied for hours on end. Older gamers who aren't turned off by the cutesy style and themes will find a moderately long and generally amusing trip through this silly little cartoon world.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 92 Critic Score
    With impressive visuals, landmark play mechanics, and multiplayer mayhem, this title is easily recommended for the violence-tolerant.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    The stunning graphics, superb sound and beautifully addictive gameplay are several of the factors that make this a great game.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Blizzard deserves a round of hearty applause for adding a save system to the game, which makes it much more appropriate for portable gaming.
    • 96 Metascore
    • 99 Critic Score
    An artistic masterpiece... Anime-styled characters truly do bring out a wide new range of emotions that weren't possible previously in the Zelda series, which better connects the player with a relatively deep storyline. [Import]
    • 82 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It's hard to shake the feeling that this has all been done before -- and that the Gold/Silver/Crystal versions did it better.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    This cartridge was clearly made by people who love these sorts of games... An excellent choice for people seeking a little quality "pick up and play" action.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    In 20-04, the pitchers can now burst into flames while performing extraordinarily on the mound.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    If you have ever quit playing a game because you couldn't beat it, then Megaman and Bass may not be for you, as there is really no way to make the game easier.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Sonic games have always been known for their speed, but in Sonic Advance 2, it's been exaggerated almost to a fault.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    If you've ever loved a platforming game, you owe it to yourself to play Rayman 3, simple as that. This one's certain to go down as one of the biggest classics to ever hit the system.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Innovation makes the experience feel awesome all the way through, whereas squirting a water pump with Mario lost its appeal to me within the first three hours of gameplay.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Deep in both gameplay and play modes, it’s a solid feeling game in that the gameplay is tight, the presentation is super polished and the game has Madden-esque depth.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It's worth a look for the uninitiated as well (if only for its multiplayer mode), but it's not quite up to the standard set by "Advance Wars."
    • 53 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    While it isn't groundbreaking, it is well done. The one thing that I can’t tolerate though is that it’s only a two player game.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    The nice thing about the look and attitude of Vexx is that he has a dark side.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    A highly enjoyable and tensely tuned game for any fan of tactical shooters.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    I found this game too tough to really get into it. Racing fans who don't mind a stiff challenge should get a real kick out of it.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    With over thirty hours of playtime and dozens upon dozens of side-quests, it will definitely keep you busy.
    • 50 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    The gameplay can become fairly stale after an hour or so. This isn’t a pick-up-and-play title either, because the password saves are much too long and complex.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 97 Critic Score
    A definitive RPG. This is the killer RPG app for GameCube. No, it isn't "Final Fantasy" (nor does it try to be), but in this writer's opinion, it's something even better.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    While the game has a bunch of play modes and a lot of cool things to learn, the ultimate experience of the game is one of a button masher.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    It has the Sega-esque quality of being able to take it off the shelf a few months down the road and still have fun with it.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Aside from the price, Resident Evil 2 is a worthwhile game and is an extreme necessity to those who want to follow the series' storyline but haven't yet played the title on any other console.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    A solid port of the original PSX game, but that's part of the problem: It is a port with no enhancements and a hefty price tag to boot.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    While this game is simplistic and dated, it holds the same kind of addictive fun as 'SSB. Even though the control is stiff, graphics are shoddy and sound is dismal, what the game offers is quite likeable, especially for fans.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    Blows any other recent incarnation out of the water.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The controls in the game take some getting used to, as they try and follow the basic platform layout, but at the same time try and do something a bit more Zelda-esque.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    Strangely addictive and fun for the amount of time it takes to play through it.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    The music is funky and the graphics are fresh and frenzied.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    A very solid and addictive title.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    There's just something about slashing through a room full of Orcs or lighting Nazgûl on fire.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 92 Critic Score
    Treyarch and Sega have created the "Madden" of hockey with this title. It just needs some aural and visual polish to become something amazing.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    With the minor technical gripes aside, this is a perfect RPG to play for anyone. Don't be silly like me and get rid of your PlayStation version and purchase the GBA version instead.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Gets down to the gritty details of being a bounty hunter in Star Wars and creates an extremely fun experience for the player... Looks good, feels good, and sounds exactly like Star Wars.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Frogger Beyond has far surpassed the expectations that I initially had for this game. Konami did an excellent job with recreating Frogger and creating a challenging puzzle game for the GameCube.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Kirby is over far too quick, but it's a decent romp while it lasts, and one that I wouldn't mind playing through again.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    An excellent compilation of two good Dreamcast RPGs which didn’t get as much recognition as they should have received.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    I love this game to death. Although flawed, it is still a lot of fun to play and gives you a good feel for the college game.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    I like the idea, it’s just the execution needs work.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 94 Critic Score
    This isn’t "F-Zero" or "Burnout." It is a much richer, deeper racing experience that you’ll appreciate for the accuracy of the physics and game play.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    One of the most surprisingly fun games I’ve played in some time. The sheer variety of the levels is outstanding.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    Doesn’t play as fluently as the AKI games from THQ of yore, and is lacking some elements that would give it some life or charisma.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    The graphics are grainy but interesting. Sound effects are awesome, especially when concerning the dragons. Ignore the voice acting and you’re good to go.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    The patches make the game more fun, less difficult (if needed), and surprisingly much better. If only some other publishers could learn from this example, ports may not be so bad after all!
    • 76 Metascore
    • 93 Critic Score
    With the most gameplay in a single title for the Game Boy Advance, it’s hard to pass this title up... If you’re a fan of RPGs, you obviously MUST have this title.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 53 Critic Score
    Don’t bother buying Altered Beast. It isn’t worth it unless your idea of fun is pressing two or three buttons through 20 levels of bland, uninspired environments and continually dying along the way.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    Great graphics, sound, and play mechanics all render a fine, bloody shoe platter.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    The closest thing to being a Jedi simulator that’s available on the console market.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 89 Critic Score
    While it's essentially "Marble Madness" with better graphics and a few twists in the game design, it feels much more than that.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    The game quickly becomes boring and has you wishing you were doing something else.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Without the “stealth mode” gameplay, the “Hero Mode,” and the genuinely entertaining voice acting and storyline, Die Hard: Vendetta would have been simply passed off as an average FPS, if not below average.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 47 Critic Score
    Everything from the graphics, sound and the frame rate should have been a whole lot better, not to mention the confusing and burdensome control scheme.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    If you like Bond, first-person shooters, or just a bit of action, you should definitely check this one out.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    The game looks and plays better, but still, even after a year on the PS2, this one is basically the same title.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    While the single-player campaign can turn out to be fairly boring and uninspiring, the real value this game offers is in multiplayer.
    • 92 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    The game told me I finished in around 4 hours, but I played for at least ten. With tons of hidden items, and five different endings, this game is sure to keep you occupied. Metroid Fusion is a must own title.
    • 97 Metascore
    • 96 Critic Score
    One of the greatest games of all time. Bravo.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    Rather than being an average game with its share of reasons not to like it, Rocky is a game whose shortcomings are why it isn't a "great" game in its own right.
    • 36 Metascore
    • 47 Critic Score
    The controls are buggy, the graphics are choppy, the sound is average and the voices will make you crawl up a wall in fear of your life.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    If you like fantasy worlds, the Skittles commercials, or witty, tongue-in-cheek games, this one is recommended for you.
    • 42 Metascore
    • 26 Critic Score
    If you picked this title up for your little one, pray that you also picked up an extended warranty for that GBA. It’ll be in pieces the next time you find it on the floor.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Eurocom have almost done the impossible: They have made a movie/novel based game actually good. The game exudes effort and it really shows.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    The story line actually holds your attention and with three different difficulty settings, the gameplay will suit anyone's needs.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    More variety in the level design, a save feature, and a few more weapons would have made the experience even more enjoyable. As it stands, Prophecy is a solid title worth your clams.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 93 Critic Score
    The story fills in most, if not all, of the plot holes from the series and provides a very engaging and entertaining ride.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    It feels unpolished and gives very little bang for its buck.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    If you have a girlfriend, boyfriend, or spouse who doesn’t get into games that much, plug in this title and go right to "Mean Bean Machine." You’ll have so much fun you won’t hardly believe it.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    The most important thing about this game is that it's realistic, which means that the immersion value is definitely higher than in a fantasy game like "TimeSplitters 2."
    • 55 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    This cricket doesn’t ever get off the ground.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    If I could overlook that pesky lock-up bug (which, for a review, I really can’t) I’d say they’re only about 30 yards short of a touchdown.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It's brief by today's standards -- finishing at 100% won't take a seasoned gamer longer than 15 hours -- but it's so addictive that you're likely to start a new game as soon as you've finished.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Compared to the father of this genre, Whirl Tour can (and most likely will) turn into a session of tedium and bore.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Painfully inconsistent. It has great control, and myriad single-player and multiplayer modes. Unfortunately, it also has abysmal music and a spotty graphics engine that cannot achieve the sense of speed the Driver games need.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 93 Critic Score
    Defender is all about defense, which may be a major turn-off for many gamers out there.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    If you have the patience to overlook its technical shortcomings and master its quirks, Eye of the Beholder is actually a pretty decent dungeon-crawling experience to take on the road with you.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    Abandons exterior features and special effects to deliver an addicting Action/RPG with an intriguing story and noticeable Japanese influences.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 94 Critic Score
    Fun to play. Bottom line. The swing is so intuitive, so simple, it’s a wonder it didn’t come along sooner.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    An average golf game featuring some new stuff as well as your typical golfing action. However, the character design and sense of humor showcased in this one sets it apart from the rest.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    A dream come true for fans of ‘80’s-style arcade games. If you can put up with the retro graphics and a couple of duds that got thrown in, you'll find a lot of value for your buck.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    It sacrifices glamour and elaborate play mechanics to be what it is supposed to be: Fun.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    The lack of depth is rather disconcerting when there are so many bigger games out there carrying the same price tag.
    • 91 Metascore
    • 93 Critic Score
    While for the most part the tried and true Tony Hawk gameplay is still intact, this latest release in the series gives it a breath of freshness.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    While some mistakes were made in the making of this game, not enough were made to make it bad.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    While BloodRayne suffers from a lack of originality and has some definite camera issues, the game play makes up for it by busting out with some dynamic game play elements, weapons, and controls.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 92 Critic Score
    One of the best first-person shooter games ever. The only major flaw I can find with the game is the lack of online support.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    The idea of using the Veritech through a number of objective-based missions plays off very well in Robotech: Battlecry.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    A shining example of what an arcade collection can and should be, featuring plenty of takes on classic arcade favorites accessed through a friendly, polished interface.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    With a total of nine levels and three boss battles, the total runtime of Ty is about ten hours flat.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    A good improvement over previous renditions of the game. I wouldn’t put it in the same class as Madden but it is a quality video game that fighting/boxing fans should investigate.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The best monster game since "Rampage."
    • 67 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    It’s just that it isn’t all that fun, nor a worthy purchase for any serious gamer.
    • 91 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    Its twisted levels beg to be replayed again and again even if you aren't interested in getting that perfect 100%.
