    There are far better prospects on the horizon which hopefully means BAM will get a clue and change.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A masterpiece in it's genre. It's a shame its a genre that most casual players won't like.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Lacks the longevity, punch, fun factor (grows too boring and repetitive way too fast) and replayability that separates the best free-roaming hack-and-slash games from the rest.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 93 Critic Score
    The game is filled with imagination, color and good solid fundamental platforming elements. With the success that Toy Story has generated gamers will enjoy getting a chance to take control of Buzz Lightyear and giving those bad toys a real lesson in butt kicking.

    Fans of previous Metal Gear stealth adventures will have to adjust their tolerance level to ‘HIGH’ to deal with MGA’s insanely hard and complex new turn-based card system.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Too bad the game’s bloody battles (starring Agrippa) far outpace its stealth segments (featuring Octavianus), resulting in an uneven experience that makes players anticipate half the game and loathe the other.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The more aggresive and less deep cousin of "Kessen" (the system's current champ for armchair generals who dig the strategy more than action, the exact opposite of "DW2"), and a fine way to kill an afternoon without having much to show for it.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    In the end "X-men" is well done with many good ideas that plays just a bit too stiff for my liking.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    While not deep modewise, I found the game charming enough to keep my interest and ultimately give me enjoyment.

    If what you want is a sim, look elsewhere...It looks great, sounds great and most importantly plays great.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    Extensive loading times aside (understandable given the insane amount of animation frames on display) Darkstalkers Chronicle: The Chaos Tower does the classic 2D fighting genre justice.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 97 Critic Score
    To each his own opinion but for this one reviewer Legend of Dragoon is truly legendary.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It's far for perfect, but Smash Court Tennis Pro Tournament 2 is the best tennis game to come out for PS2 to date.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Aside from the insanely confusing menus and overly arcadish feel, Live isn't a bad game.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    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.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The implementation of “NBA Live 2003’s” Freestyle Control doesn’t mesh perfectly with this particular engine’s loose physics. The sameness of the b-ball courts and annoying cutscenes from “Live 2003” don’t help the cause either.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A jack of many videogame trades (RPG, “Mario Paint”-type paint program, “Pokemon”-like arena battles, etc.) that somehow succeeds at making a fun and coherent whole out of its many disparate elements.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Other than the VHS-quality bonus videos with the developers and the absence of "Moon Patrol" and "Stun Runner" this is Midway’s best compilation of classic videogames to date.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    This isn't a game for everyone, namely those with little patience, but for anyone else willing to put the time into playing this game will find an adventure like no other on the PlayStation 2 and currently the best RPG out there.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Fun little guilty pleasure while it lasts though.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The second coming of "Bushido Blade" this ain't, yet WOTS reveals considerable depth and replayability the longer one sticks around for its non-linear paths and consequence-laden scenarios.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    One of the best PS2 mech titles in the market today, one that stand head-and-shoulders above better-publicized competitors like TDK Mediactive’s “Robotech: Battlecry” and Bandai’s “Gundam: Federation Vs. Zeon."
    • 74 Metascore
    • 92 Critic Score
    The kind of sequel that might disappoint many with its lack of change and innovation. At the same time it's a by the book sequel that continues the exciting play of the original.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Miku might be doing the same thing over and over through four chapters (divided in the game as 'Night 1-4'), but the tension and atmosphere of dread that this game continually builds is about on par with that of an interactive version of "The Sixth Sense".
    • 74 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A worthy companion piece to the regular DDR titles.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    If you own the Dreamcast version of this game consider yourself lucky and treasure it, because this PSOne port is an adequate but ugly and muffled-sounding facsimile of the genuine article.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    It'll take more than pretty pictures to get me excited again about playing with virtual plastic toys in make-believe green choppers.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Though it didn't meet everyone's expectations, it still offers up a solid play experience that fans of westerns and action games alike should enjoy.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The variety and timeless appeal of the blue hedgehog’s better games however, combined with the low price, make this a must-buy stocking stuffer for the Sega fanboy (or girl) in all of us.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Unleashed duplicates the look and feel of its big console counterpart remarkably well, so much so that owning both versions of the game would be foolish.
