    Shox
    Shox’s handful of self-titled innovations (Shox Zone, Shox wave, etc.) and good-looking engine can’t quite save it from its repetitive three-lap gameplay, cheating A.I. and sticker Shox price tag (sorry, couldn’t help it!).
    • 50 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Minority Report: Everybody Runs
    Dreadful, boring and not featuring an iota of the excitement and intensity found in its motion picture counterpart, Minority Report disappoints at every turn.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Star Wars: Bounty Hunter
    The best part is to finally be able to control a cool villain outside of the confined restrictions of a shooter or fighting game.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Ninja Assault
    Its precariously short length (half-a-dozen brief stages plus Boss battles) and exorbitant price ($60 packed with a GunCon 2 and $45-50 by itself) couldn’t have come at a worst time.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Marvel vs. Capcom 2
    Learn to live with the darn “Tonight Show”-type BGM tunes, and Marvel vs. Capcom 2’s over-the-top madness will win you over as well.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Rocky
    Few licensed videogames have captured the essence of their source material as well as Rage Software has captured the heart and soul, not to mention the over-the-top style of the boxing matches, that makes a “Rocky” movie click.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    James Bond 007: NightFire
    Predictably-competent (but soulless and extremely short).
    • 48 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    James Cameron's Dark Angel
    Not even fans of the cancelled TV show will find anything remotely resembling fun or enticing gameplay in Dark Angel to justify the rental expense.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Dead to Rights
    Short, flawed, repetitive and derivative (“May Payne” anyone?).
    • 69 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Haven: Call of the King
    What we have here is a great engine and design screaming for some character and story help.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Rugrats: Royal Ransom
    Of the twelve tetra-trillion "Rugrats" videogames released since the TV show went on the air in the mid-70’s (sarcasm anyone?), Royal Ransom is easily the best.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance
    The controls are tight, the graphics good and the hidden stuff down by the Krypt ranges from junk to outstanding.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    BMX XXX
    XXX is designed in such a linear way that the game grows boring and repetitive due to its lackluster rewards (censored stripper videos) and outdated engine.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
    Not only did “The Chamber of Secrets” NOT turn me into a Harry Potter consumer (which I wasn’t prior to playing it), but it has made me shun away from playing any PS2 games aimed at children for a good long while.

    Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
    Offers enough “Zelda”-type gameplay and production values to make it a PSOne standout.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Wreckless: The Yakuza Missions
    It’s asinine game design to attempt single-screen multiplayer with code that isn’t PS2 optimized to begin with.
    • 38 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    The Simpsons Skateboarding
    There’s nothing in Skateboarding's control, look, sound or execution that comes even remotely close to looking like the game was made with PlayStation 2 technology in mind.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Fighter Maker 2
    There’s a solid bone of a structure in this low-end programming tool, however, that is guaranteed to occupy and challenge the mindset of the committed faithful.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Rally Fusion: Race of Champions
    A middle-of-the-road rally game.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Monopoly Party!
    Delivers a zero-frills interpretation of a board game that is best enjoyed with friends gathered around a table, NOT a TV set hooked up to a PS2.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    NASCAR: Dirt to Daytona
    In the end yours truly would rather park his limited NASCAR interest in Tiburon’s garage than Monster Games'.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    NHL 2K3
    Everything that NHL 2003 does “NHL 2K3” can perform just as well, except for the fancy presentation aspects that EA Sports has polished to near-perfection (and which Sega Sports is still learning to implement properly).
    • 71 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Shinobi
    Unapologetic about being old-school hard... It’s a rude awakening to how soft and cuddled the masses have become toward games that demand as much from them as they do from the game-makers.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    ATV Offroad Fury 2
    The charm of being original is worn off leaving us with more of the same. ATV Offroad 2 is enjoyable but not really much of a change.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    NHL FaceOff 2003
    The game generally just tightens up many spots to make it a contender this year. Of course with other offerings out there, 989 still might be your third or fourth.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly
    Little children or people with no desire to experience innovative gameplay take notice; Enter the Dragonfly has your number dialed.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Ratchet & Clank
    Rarely does a 3D action game become more fun to beat after its been completed a first or second time. That’s exactly what R&C and its truckload of gizmos delivers.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Robot Alchemic Drive
    Once you've made the Meganite under your control turn an invading Volgara robot into junkyard fodder a couple of times the hook will be in.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Zapper
    Its short length and lack of visual polish keep Zapper well below the charm and fun of its predecessors.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Disney's PK: Out of the Shadows
    Its dead-average platforming thrills, low asking price and beyond over-the-top visual style are this game’s saving graces.
