Ambitiously designed, expertly constructed. Most importantly, its gameplay has been tuned to perfection. Give it a try - it's one of the PS2's best games. [Dec 2002, p.34]- PSM Magazine

NCAA's Dynasty is the best "pure videogame" feature in any sports games. Pro franchise modes punish teams who succeed. Here, good play is rewarded with stronger recruiting power. More than any other sports game, NCAA Football plays like an RPG. [Aug 2004, p.18]- PSM Magazine

Devilishly easy to pick up and play, and damn hard to put down. And it's funny - both "haha" funny and "clever" funny. It's got a smooth style and charm that really endears itself to you. [Nov 2004, p.76]- PSM Magazine

Despite its issues, though, Dark Ressurection is a truly remarkable game and easily one of the best games the PSP has to offer. [Sep 2006, p.81]- PSM Magazine

Simply put, it's the best racing game we've played since "Burnout 3," and an amazing portable achievement. [May 2005, p.78]- PSM Magazine

Add a bloody mouthpiece, and you've got the most realistic boxing experience you can have without the risk of brain injury. [Apr 2005, p.73]- PSM Magazine

Even if you focus strictly on the single player game and ignore the massive improvements to their multiplayer world, there are so many details in the game that it almost comes to life... A near-perfect game. [Dec 2003, p.84]- PSM Magazine

- Critic Score
All in all, Level-5 has made a deep, varied, and challenging battle system with a handful of nuances you can utilize to you advantage. [Sept 2007, p.74]- PSM Magazine

NCAA Football 06 gets absolutely everything right, even the trophy girlfriend. [Aug 2005, p.80]- PSM Magazine

Challenging, gratifying, and revolutionary all at once, there's simply nothing out there remotely like [the new co-op mode]. [May 2005, p.68]- PSM Magazine

With the new tweaks that make it more accessible, and the abundance of new content, you really have no reason not to pick this up - especially at only $20. [Feb 2006, p.72]- PSM Magazine

The fact remains that this is one of, if not the best game in the series, and it's got some great multiplayer modes(playable online!)to further sweeten an already sweet game. [May 2006, p.84]- PSM Magazine
-
- Critic Score
Visually the game is absolutely stunning, with in-game character models that are at least three times as detailed as those seen in the first game. Level design is artistic as it is functional. [Nov 2003, p.32]- PSM Magazine

- Critic Score
I still love this game. However, it's become more obvious that the storyline is way too clunky, confusing and - sometimes - downright silly. [Apr 2003, p.34]- PSM Magazine

Simply the best overall baseball simulation on the PS2 this year. [May 2003, p.36]- PSM Magazine

Don't let any of this--or the controversy surrounding it--deter you, though; Bully is a remarkable game. [Holiday 2006, p.72]- PSM Magazine

This is a game--actually the game--to buy a PSP for. [Feb. 2007, p.74]- PSM Magazine

Field commotion aside, the best reason to huddle up with NCAA is the new Legend mode. [Oct 2006, p.80]- PSM Magazine

- Critic Score
An incredibly valiant attempt to make an accessible NASCAR game, but many will still think it falls a bit short because you can only do so much with turning left. [Oct 2004, p.32]- PSM Magazine

Last year's issues have been fixed, its competitors suffer from annoying quirks or feature omissions, and most importantly, MVP Baseball 2005 simly feels and plays the most like the real thing. [Apr 2005, p.64]- PSM Magazine
-
- Critic Score
Immensely more satisfying, deep, and involving than its predecessor. [Mar 2003, p.40]- PSM Magazine

You're getting two incredible games that, while vastly different in terms of mechanics, maintain a cohesive theme: stealth. It just doesn't get better than this. [Aug 2004, p.26]- PSM Magazine
