    This pseudo-sequel to “Virtua Tennis” serves up a high quality, fun, and addictive gameplay experience for gamers on all levels.

    While I’m on the subject, why haven’t video games gotten any better at portraying women fairly? The rest of our culture has seemingly improved in this regard, but the gaming subculture seems to be getting worse and worse.

    A lot of fun and the depth of features is beyond compare. Easily one of the most immersive football titles made to date.

    From a simulation perspective, the game suffers because there is no way to control the pace of the fight. The jab and the straight cross have very little effect on the computer so you are forced to get in close and throw uppercuts and hooks the entire time.

    PureSim has some of the best graphics for a text-based game. The interfaces are beautiful and look like they have been worked on. The game screen is by far the best.

    With all of the features and fun that Slugfest has, the game has a problem with longevity. After you have unlocked all of the extras there really isn’t much else to play for.

    This game suffers from a terrible case of rubber-band AI and forces you to finish first to move on. Had this not been the case it could have been another instant classic.

    Outlaw Golf is a golf game that relies too heavily on gimmicks and forgets about simple things that should be standard in a golf game (simulation or arcade) like the lie affecting the ball.

    No story line in single mode is another turn off, but multiplayer is a blast.

    It has great ideas but executes it horribly.

    Poor control with one camera angle does not make a great game. You can have all the features in the world but if you don’t enjoy the gameplay then it was all for not.

    Even with the flaws, this looks and feels like baseball and I look forward to playing it, and for me that is the mark of a good game.

    Not as deep as "Out of the Park," but some people might like a more simple game. If you are looking to sim a bunch of seasons a night and not worry about drafts and other little things, then Baseball Mogul is for you.

    I’m sorry to say but FIFA World Cup 2002 is game to catch consumers when they get cup fever rather a game to provide the ultimate World Cup experience.

    I enjoyed playing the game but the re-playability with only one player is limited, unless you really like the challenge of unlocking teams and stadiums.

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

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

    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.

    Not fun. If you are looking for a baseball game that involves any thought process more complicated than, “throw the ball, hit the ball”, I suggest you look elsewhere.

    This is the perfect game to play when you have a buddy or two over and want to get in a quick 30 minute beatdown of them.

    I got a lot more of a simulation than I could have imagined.

    It has a whole lot of action in a short amount of time.

    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.

    EA Sports Big has once again delivered the big air, big stunts, big hits, and big competition we have come to know and love them for.

    RalliSport could very well be the racing game of the year. The only reason it doesn't go into our Hall of Fame is for the lack of customization and a little more "sim" options.

    Yes Knockout Kings 2002 might be more considered a button masher/arcade game than a strategic sim, but bottom line, it’s one enjoyable game.

    The best baseball game around period. Graphics can only do so much and this simulation is top notch in gameplay and delivery. If you are an avid baseball fan you need to check out this game.

    Visual Concepts has started their series on the Xbox in outstanding fashion. If you are looking for the best the series has to offer, I suggest you go out and get this game.

    The game just looks fantastic...a great game, but not an excellent representation of baseball.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    If the developers can put as much emphasis on gameplay as they do in the franchise mode, this series might actually become something noteworthy.
