    Games for this kind of system are supposed to be fun, simple and not terribly time-consuming. Viewed in this light, NBA Live 06 is a success, but real hoops fans will undoubtedly spend more of their gaming time on more fleshed-out console titles, and keep Live around as a quick artificially-basketball-flavored snack for their PSP.

    The best college basketball game this year on any system.

    While Tiger Woods himself continues to reach new heights in his golf game, the Tiger Woods PGA Tour franchise also made noticeable improvements in the last year.

    A great, yet somewhat short, Career Mode, a bevy of online features, a fantastic Challenge Mode that will drive you crazy with replay factor, great looks, great courses, and the strongest simulation engine that I've seen on a console, will keep this title in your Xbox hours and hours per week.

    There’s no doubt that World Rally Championship is the best rally game on the PS2 to date, but it will also disappoint as many people as it impresses.

    MLB
    Very close to being a revolution in portable sports gaming. The gameplay is the best I've seen in this year's baseball titles, and the graphics all but equal those of the PS2. However, a complete lack of all the features we have come to expect from a modern sports game means that apart from exhibition games, MLB just doesn't have the depth to stand on it's own.

    My front runner for the fighting game of the year. While it does lack the variety of match types that Smackdown offers, it I believe is just as much fun, if not more fun than "Smackdown."

    This is a great online experience!

    It is still overshadowed by “NBA Live” and ‘NCAA Football”, and still feels a bit like an amalgam of the two, but it’s starting to come into it’s own.

    Multiplayer functionality alone makes this game worth the purchase.

    By far the best racing game I’ve ever played on a console.

    Overall, The Bigs is a well executed attempt at your unconventional take on the baseball video game market.

    While I’d still like to see more options on and off the ice, such as being able to increase the playing time by individual minutes rather than increments of five, the series appears to finally be heading in the right direction.

    The most important part of any sports game - the on-field play - is smooth and solid, with some breathtakingly realistic animations adding extra spice.

    It’s a game I think I should like, but have no desire to play it and when I am playing I am usually hoping it will be over soon.

    Like most multi-platform releases, this one doesn't quite match up with the encompassing experience of its console brethren, but it's fast, fun, deep and pretty. What more can you ask for?

    Out of the box, the game is an unrealistic dunkfest, but after some slider changes, the game resembles the NBA.

    I can't tell a true die-hard racing fan if the car setups will provide the depth and accuracy that they are looking for. But I can tell gaming fans that NASCAR 06 is very good title. I think the depth and replay ability alone are worth a look.

    I can, without a doubt, say that the more people you have huddled around the PS2, the more fun you’ll have.

    It’s a fun sports trivia game. I recommend this for any one who is a big boxing fan and has followed the sport for years. However, I cannot recommend this for someone who does not have a good knowledge of boxing history though because the questions are difficult.

    The game is a throw-back to old arcade racers, and it doesn't miss a beat. This game will last you as long as you want it to last.

    It just doesn't have enough variety to satisfy the offline gamer.

    This game has fun written all over it, but I can only take the over the top action for so long.

    The title is sure to horrify the hardcore, while providing hours and hours of fun for those who are looking for more action and less strategy. [*Note: original score posted by Operation Sports as 3/5 = 60. Current score on their redesigned site is inaccurate.]

    To say it’s an improvement over last year’s 360 release may be the understatement of the century. However, with all that has improved, there is a lot of room to do more.

    While a fun and frantic racing game it doesn't scream out innovative and fresh.

    Only four things hold Tiger Woods PGA Tour back from true gaming greatness: the abysmal load times, the slightly off-kilter analog nub swing system, better multiplayer capability, and true online... er, "Infrastructure" play.

    For the Madden fans that want a good football game on the road, there isn't a better game available. Speeding up the franchise mode would help out tremendously, as well as programming the AI running backs to see - and hit - the hole better.

    Yes, there are quirks here and there, but the single player modes like Career and Franchise are exceptional for this title. Online play is implemented extremely well.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    I think I might be in the minority thinking this game is an absolute mountain of canine fecal matter... just another quick hit to get a gamer’s $50 on a new console that doesn’t have any competition for it.
