For an extra $5 and a trip down the Greatest Hits section of your software retailer you could get better PSX action games. But since when is common sense a virtue?- PSX Nation

Vietcong could suck the sheet metal from a Sherman tank at 500 yards. This is by far the worst game on the PlayStation 2 and the dumb bastard that pays forty dollars for this lackluster frisbee deserves every second of the torment that it spits out.- PSX Nation

I had the lowest expectations when I booted-up "Sarge's Heroes 2" on my PSOne, only to be pleasently surprised that it actually looks and plays like someone at 3DO put love and heart into creating it.- PSX Nation

A budget-priced bowling game that’s as unpretentious as it is well put together and fun (in small doses and with the right group of friends under the right circumstances… wink, wink! :-P).- PSX Nation

They have the right idea with the Virtua Tennis approach but failed to come even close with the graphics to match. Shoddy graphics ruin this game ultimately.- PSX Nation

There is none of the user-friendliness and open-ended approach that made "Super Smash Bros." clone "Digimon Rumble Arena" such a pleasant experience.- PSX Nation

It's just a Wendy's Chicken Sandwich: tasty and delicious, but not tasty (or well-promoted) enough to go up against the Big Mac and the Whooper.- PSX Nation

The very definition of ‘AVERAGE’ (which is what the number ‘5’ represents in our review scale), “Pac-Man Fever” neither diminishes or improves on the “Mario Party” formula set in stone back in ’99 by Hudson Soft.- PSX Nation

For a few brief seconds when you are adequately surfing, this game can be fun, but it is so unforgiving that the moment swiftly ends and you are ready to break the disc.- PSX Nation

Despite new licensed wrestlers, dozens of new songs and new additions meant to appeal to rural America’s prurient interests (i.e. porn stars as playable wrestlers) Backyard Wrestling 2’s bad graphics, poor collision detection and awful dialogue sink it into the pit of holiday expendability.- PSX Nation

A year ago this would have been a slight-step above "Army Men"-like badness, but in late 2001 it just doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of justifying its existence as stand-alone PS2 software.- PSX Nation

Cheerful, juvenile and more fun than what our rating might imply, "Danger Girl" is undone primarily because it's engine is riddled with technical flaws (collision detection, slug-like speed and frame-rate, poor aiming).- PSX Nation

If you like punishment or enjoy suffering through hours of boring quests and downright horrible fighting, then by all means go out and purchase this stinker at once. There’s so much wrong with this game it’s hard to pinpoint exactly what makes it awful as it is.- PSX Nation

This game will turn your 32-bit console into an NES, but the control and two-player fun that can be had with All-Star Slammin' D-Ball more than makes up for its outdated appearance and MIDI-like soundtrack.- PSX Nation

There are enough satisfying nuggets of 'survival horror turned "Virtua Cop" clone w/limited movement' goodness to make this odd curiosity worth playing for most, and maybe even worth owning by the "RE" fanatics.- PSX Nation

All the licenses and potential that Paris-Dakar Rally has as an enjoyable rally experience, however, go to waste in a game that makes the event it portrays seem more boring and dull than it should be.- PSX Nation

It's a flawed and shallow button masher (very few moves and no technique) but also visually alluring and reasonably entertaining for a second-tier fighting game.- PSX Nation

If players approach "Supercross World" as an arcade racer that plays by the indoor and outdoor rules of motocross though, then it has plenty to offer...Dead-average, brain-dead motocross fun at its most basic level.- PSX Nation

If it keeps the cool Career mode, Custom Boxer Creation, decent polygon models and line-up of solid fighters (tossing out everything else, especially the awful 'toggle active hand' controller configuration), it could have the basis on which to rebuild a better game next year.- PSX Nation

Fun in small doses and with friends (think of this as a 65 more than a plain-old 60), “Wheel” is the type of simplistic time-waster that appeals more to casual gamers than the hardcore.- PSX Nation

ShootOut 2003's outdated graphics, mediocre controls and workmanlike gameplay have some merits as companions on a road trip spinning in a PSOne w/LCD Screen. $29.99 is a bit steep a price to pay for a roster update though.- PSX Nation
