    It's great in small doses but may wear a bit thin when taking double shots.

    Zeonic Front didn't rock my world in the least, but it will undoubtly rock the world of any self-respecting Gundam fanatic willing to tolerate its truckload of flaws.

    This is a PS2 series of riddles you don't want to rely too much on a strategy guide to beat, since solving them on your own or with friends is more than half the fun.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A deep, well written, good-looking and designed game that comes close to the greatness of any of the games it imitates.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    About as visually-appealing, user-friendly, fun and deep as Koei can make a strategy simulation without watering-down the formula completely, which makes it ideal for newcomers to the genre or the "Kessen" universe.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    A decent light gun shooter that's much too similar to its dated predecessors (the original "Time Crisis", "Virtua Cop 1 & 2", etc.) to be worth more than a rental.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    With a load of unlockables, an involving story, and more action than any similar game before it, Demon Stone is the premier action/rpg title to own.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    Everything from shooting a free throw to running the lane works well in the game. There's really not much to complain about this year.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    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.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    The voices in the game remain on the horrid side though that almost doubles back into a kind of lovable ugly dog type of thing.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A good-looking college football title that, despite being high on gameplay modes and playbook strategies, isn't quite as fine tuned to the sport it portrays as "NCAA Football 2003".
    • 71 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Not a perfect or original game mind you, just one that doesn't screw-up with its winning formula in any meaningful way.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    There is a good core of solid gameplay ideas and control physics at the center of "NBA ShootOut 2001", but you have to live with outdated-beyond-its-time graphics to enjoy them.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Despite its limited depth, State Of Emergency is a lengthy beat-em up that truly shines in short bursts.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Imagine a GTA-like gigantic world set in a cartoon-like Australian Outback universe, complete with mini-games and sidequests to distract from the main quest. That's what Ty 2 delivers for under twenty bucks.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    For the select few PS2 owners that would rather role play World War II military masterminds and relive real-life Mediterranean air/sea battles "P.T.O. IV" is a Godsend.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Enjoy Grandia II for its appealing characters, interesting story, 30+ hour length and the best active-time battle engine in the business.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    With solid multiplayer, a deep rich customizable single player experience and true next generation graphics, EA Sports first PS2 F1 game succeeds in many areas.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A steep learning curve, buggy online mode, and lack of communication options between you and your allies make this title fall short in just about everything it set out to achieve.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    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.

    • 97 Critic Score
    With a price of $19.99, Looney Tunes Racing might very well remain the greatest PS One Kart Racer ever.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It's hard but fair, gorgeous to look at and pleasant to listen to (Enya-inspired soundtrack notwithstanding).
    • 71 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It may grow a bit tired deeper into the game but the formula works well.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    This is the very definition of 'niche' product, but one with enough gameplay depth (particularly betting on the outcome of races and creation of your own breed of champion horse) and visual splendor to make it worth a trip to the rental store.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The destruction-oriented Hulk levels, killer graphics, good audio and a wealth of bonus goodies, however, make "The Hulk" a blast to complete.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Graphics are decent for a licensed videogame (no clips from the movie though!), but the audio (including sound-alike actors doubling for the film's stars) is so generic and uninspired it hurts just to listen.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Everything the original should have been two years ago but wasn’t: intense, gritty, ultra-violent, stylish and a lot of fun to play through... ONCE!
    • 70 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    NBA Live 2002 takes a step backwards in our minds with less of a focus on strict, simulation style play and too much emphasis on flashy, easy broad based play.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A PlayStation generation brought up on a steady diet of "Final Fantasy" RPG's might not be ready for a trip back to the days when an RPG dared its players NOT to get lost within the labyrinth of its dungeons.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The single player campaigns, while engaging, are somewhat lacking in cohesion.
