If you're looking for a pure racing experience, you can't go wrong with Downforce. [May 2002, p.55]

Why is Nicktoons Racing the best Mode 7 racer on the GBA? Can anybody tell me that...anybody? [Aug 2002, p.76]

You won't see me at the Tractor Pulls or reachin' for the Skoal, but I like it. [Aug 2002, p.70]

This team must have crawled directly into the brain trust of Formula One racing to have produced a game this seeping with perfection. [Aug 2002, p.68]

A slightly less appealing version compared to the PS2. [Aug 2002, p.70]

While I really like beating the crap out of my caddy (girl on girl never looked so good), I wish the interface had a few more nuances and a more comphrehensive putting mechanism. [Jan 2003, p.78]

Incredible creation mode, first-rate visual presentation, and nicely balanced. [July 2002, p.82]

This game is made for seasoned gamers, and those kids with exceptional skills. [Aug 2002, p.76]

Soaked in Club Med tunes, predictable, by the numbers gameplay, and slow methodical pacing; in other words, it ain't the bomb. [Aug 2002, p.71]

Once it draws you into its web of intrigue, there's no escape. [Aug 2002, p.70]

Doesn't anyone, anywhere, give a rat's ass about this franchise anymore? [Aug 2002, p.76]

Features all of the prowess allowed by improved technology: better physics, graphics, sound and control, while keeping it real with simple, fun, back-and-forth tennis action - only harder....much harder. [Apr 2002, p.67]

Acclaim has taken the once-spellbinding formula and given it the full GBA treatment, creating a game that plays, looks, and sounds better. [Aug 2002, p.76]

Feels as if the people making it hated Star Wars, because honestly, it would be hard to make something much worse. [Aug 2002, p.76]

The ambitious use of sound, a component inexcusably overlooked too often, has always elevated this series, and here it continues to chill...We don't play MoH as much as have it happen to us. [June 2002, p.57]

Awesome story mode, beautiful graphics, and Pong-what's not to like? [July 2002, p.82]

Dishes out some truly inventive (if not a tad insane) leve design, tight gameplay, and great visuals, to the extent that anyone even remotely interested in the sport will likely embrace this game's spin on the whole extreme sports trend. [Oct 2002, p.85]

Not quite as impactful on PS2 as it was on Dreamcast. [July 2002, p.82]

After playing "X8," legends looks pathetic. This is just not good. [July 2002, p.82]

Solid control, excellent animation, and a fittingly cute soundtrack. [Aug 2002, p.76]

My appreciation for some of the best undead character design and animation I have ever seen, and an overall air of doom I can really sink my teeth into, far outweigh a few hiccups. [July 2002, p.76]

The graphics couldn't be better. Everything is modeled to match the look of the show, then bathed in the same color palette and given life through hardware. [June 2002, p.60]

A formidable, beautiful-looking GP game. [July 2002, p.82]
