    At its worst, it's a frustrating exercise in button manipulation that makes you want to take up knitting.

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

    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.

    I enjoyed MM3 but it did start to become a little repetitive in the single player mode, although there are lots of challenges, tracks and cars to unlock at some point you seem to be racing just to unlock the next track or particular vehicle and not because of the race.

    After a few hours of gameplay it feels as though I’ve done this all before. Maybe it’s the whole trick system (again, nice additions with the co-op mode and rope mechanics), or the fact that it’s the same old "complete objectives to open new locations to reach competitions" thing that we’ve been doing since August of 1999.

    No online and that damn stopwatch thing is bugging me. It is a great game to play for short periods of time, but I don't think the game has much replay value.

    Damn you THQ for screwing up my free time once again and making another outstanding racing title that takes my current crown of being the top online racer on a console and one of the top racers overall.

    I must admit that if I were rating this game based on its online play and fun factor alone it would receive a higher score. The lack of any sort of franchise mode, choppy animations and some minor control issues bring it down.

    If you’re a huge basketball fan, you need to have this game. If you’re not a huge basketball fan, you should still get this game.

    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."

    V-Rally 3 features all of the gameplay modes and options you could ever ask for, but unfortunately they just didn’t pull off the driving model very well.

    A pure arcade baseball game, geared towards the individual who wants to pick up and play a game of extreme arcade baseball.

    Instead of relying on graphics and frills, Konami is putting all it’s eggs in the gameplay basket. They figure that if they improve that and leave other parts a bit lacking people will still enjoy it. I suppose that’s not that bad and we can almost count on great playing games down the line.

    I actually enjoyed the time I spent playing MLB, but the problems I encountered with hitting and at times the poor CPU base running AI began to take some of the fun out of it.

    The quick pace and the continuous user input is rather enjoyable but in the end, it can’t shake off some of its quirks for the one player game.

    I love this game! I will be playing it a lot in the next 4 or 5 months. It’s the closest thing that I found to replicating that feeling of turning on the T.V. to watch Spring Training or heading down to “the corner” to watch my heroes play.

    Baseball is about the battle between the pitcher and hitter and HH does this extremely well. Also with the wealth of sliders on key areas of gameplay, HH makes for an extremely customizable gaming experience.

    The game is great, an improvement over yet another stellar OOTP product.

    The major components are very polished...it’s the small things that seem duct-taped on as an afterthought. Interface, options, and a schizophrenic driving model just kept it from greatness.

    It’s that pretty girl you’ve been waiting to take to the big dance. She looks good you are ready for a great time but you find out she’s a bit dull and getting to like her will take some work.

    3DO made significant improvements to the graphics, Gameplay and menu presentation. Perhaps the biggest improvement was to the pitch types, especially the movement on the various types of fastballs. [Actual Score: 90 - 95]

    Even without any type of career mode, you are getting one of the most thorough and in-depth sports titles for the PC. The hardcore NASCAR fan that has the computer power to get the most out of this title will be in seventh heaven.

    An excellent racing game period. If you happen to be a sprint car fan you would be doing yourself a supreme injustice by not checking this out.

    With solid visual, great modes, and heavy replay value, WTS2003 is a great sports title.

    If you have younger kids and you want to get them something safe to play, easy to learn, and won’t break the bank than Hypersonic Extreme may be the title to check out.

    There is not enough here to really make this a great or even a good 2-player game, unless just beating each other senseless for no reason is your thing, but the single player modes are plenty and have some longevity to them.

    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.

    This is the best college basketball game I have ever played and I have played them all. From "Coach K" to "March Madness" to "Final Four", I have never played a college basketball game that was this enjoyable and realistic.
    • 57 Metascore

    While, this game is better then previous efforts, Final Four is still a long way from competing with the big boys.

    An incredibly deep Nascar game.
