    It's madly entertaining, and seems well proportioned to the demands of the portable gaming lifestyle.

    The two-year development cycle between the original and this release passed by with no significant improvements to add to the total experience. That can't happen again for this franchise to survive.

    I honestly believe that it will have a tough time stealing track hours from GT4 and Forza on most gamers' consoles.

    With all the things that left me scratching my head wondering how it made it in the game I just wonder why they released a product with as many glaring flaws as they have in this.

    Hot Shots Tennis is as fun and challenging as you want it to be.

    Sure, they could have done more with the two-year development cycle since the last release, but the game is worth a look for fans of the series and rookies alike.

    Greg Hastings’ Tournament Paintball MAX’D made me do three things that I didn’t expect when I slid it into the PS2. First, I found myself watching some tournament paintball on ESPN2 last weekend. Second, I started the ball rolling on getting my softball team to sign on for a pre-season paintball outing in March of next year. And finally, I kept playing the game after I had enough time in to write my review.

    A solid port of a great arcade game that does not get fudged in the translation.

    It has a great single-player game to partner with the online experience. Plus, the Digimask technology is really showcased in this title, making it a must for Xbox Live Vision camera owners.

    If you have played the original, then Rebound will likely feel a bit stale, a bit empty, and more than a bit slow.

    Major League Baseball 2K6 makes solid contact at the plate, but in the end, it's a routine one-hopper to short.

    If you passed on the PS2 or Xbox releases last year, Blitz: The League is definitely worth a look on the 360. If you’ve played the game already, there’s not enough new here to justify a second purchase.

    I'm not sure that I will or would ever export my coach or team to Madden, but I think there is some exciting potential.

    It tilts a bit towards the boring, but the excellent online implementation means that if you're really into paintball, this is the game for you.

    In the final tally, holding a PSP with World Poker Tour is like holding the video-game equivalent of the ace-king "Big Slick" - it's not a sure-fire winner, but you're likely to have a lot of fun playing it just the same.

    The gameplay in this game would rate over a 90 but the lack of a good camera angle hampers that score.

    I’m having fun playing this game and there are enough options here to keep me playing for a while. From a non-soccer fan like me, that speaks volumes.

    • 64 Critic Score
    The racing can be good, the depth is fine, but the overall execution of the game makes the user feel like they have been shortchanged.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    It is easily among the top sports titles available on the PSP.

    • 91 Critic Score
    The fun factor in this game is through the roof.

    It has a lot of potential, but falls short yet again. If you have an Xbox and a Playstation 2 and you want a wrestling game, then wait until November when the new "Smackdown" game comes out.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    There is not really anything groundbreaking here, but the element it provides does the sport justice and brings an entertaining time to the gamer. However, the lack of seeing anything new affects the amount of time you'll spend.

    Even with those changes, the game doesn’t come close to the competition.

    With its great mod community and minimal work on your part, you can make High Heat Major League Baseball 2003 one of the most rewarding baseball gaming experiences you could ever ask for.

    The game itself, while not deep, does allow a pretty solid amount of playing time to accomplish all the goals on the expansive levels.

    Even at $29.99 I have a hard time endorsing the game as a purchase due to the control issues and problematic AI.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Simply put the biggest problem with this game is that even on the All-Pro level it’s just too easy.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    I’d be remiss if I also didn’t mention the unbelievably long load times on this PS2 version. I’ve experienced long waits before, but some of these load times had me feeling very frustrated.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    A sloppy, rushed port. The controls don't translate well, the player models are well below the capabilities of the PSP, and the homer-happy gameplay is a complete break from the console experience.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Seems rushed and incomplete.
