Without the uniqueness of being a blood-sucking mosquito this game would be a clunky action/flying hybrid that'd be closer to first-generation Dreamcast software than PS2-caliber material.

The best part is to finally be able to control a cool villain outside of the confined restrictions of a shooter or fighting game.

Buggy, clunky, littered with minute-long loading pauses (the tell-tale sign of a PC-to-console port gone bad) and framey as hell, this action title at least has a pretty cool premise that is enhanced by a well-told story and very good sound.

We already have a great title here that is quite a surprise and should be on any "Crash Bandicoot" fan's list.

Besides gameplay modes (which are plentiful), the title comes up short in just about every category that EA’s “FIFA” 32-bit titles have been polishing for years now.

"Devil May Cry Lite" would have been a more appropriate name for this somewhat-successful attempt by Capcom’s Studio 6 to add mild RPG trappings to a genre known for button-masher frenzies.

It's fine for now, but you better love pool or be ready to spend time learning 'english' all over again.

I'd like a more memorable and challenging shooter for my hard-earned dough. Call me crazy.

Continues to uphold Infogrames’ tradition of low-key but fun Looney Tunes videogames that do justice to the license.

Good graphics, a short quest (by “RE” standards), mediocre music/sounds and a permanent sense that you’re playing an action game that’s trying to be a “House of the Dead”-type shooter (or is it a light-gun shooter that’s trying to be survival horror adventure?) diminish Dead Aim’s appeal as it moves along.

Control is atrocious, characters extremely odd and unappealing IMHO (your mileage may vary on this one), rewards for your trouble very minimal, graphics/sounds very underwhelming.

Remove the polished visuals, multiplayer options, cast of historic characters, gorgeous CG movies and nauseating English voice-overs from Koei’s "Dynasty Warriors" series. Add buckets of blood and a mostly-linear quest that seems lifted straight from the hit 2000 movie "Gladiator." Voala!

ESPN NFL Primetime 2002 just barely is ready for Primetime.

While the single player game is basic and ultimately boring, the game more than makes up for that with its online play.

It's a niche title, that if you're into the scooter thing you'll like. If not, it will seem a lot like a lesser version of "Grind Session." Not a prize winner, not a bad apple, just a nice little surprise for all the scooter fans out there.

Decent-looking and extremely fun,...fast, tough, fun and a solid 2D blast from the past that is priced just right at $30.

The best game in the series since the original. Online or off, the game has plenty of replay value, tons of weapons and cool levels and a player customization feature that rules. Don't be put off by the controls because they actually rock.

A breath of fresh air. Not because it's a good game, but because it's such a boring and ultimately unrewarding experience, and an easy-to-categorize example of a Japanese game simply NOT translating well into a localized English release.

Tolerate the fog, put-up with the controller and live with the repetition of dying over and over again, and you too will be hooked.

Though the graphics are miles below the photo-realistic polygon bodies in “Beach Spikers” (GameCube), “DOA Xtreme Beach Volleyball” and “Outlaw Volleyball” (XBox) the control and gameplay are spot-on.

Playing Gungrave is like having great sex: an intense and thoroughly enjoyable experience while it lasts and you’re in the right state of mind (right B?). Unfortunately the experience isn’t too fulfilling and doesn’t last long-enough to justify paying $50 for it.

SCEA has pulled this one off by sticking to a formula that works mixed with the greatness of the movie.

I see the 2002 version as losing what was decent enough control in the original, but surpassing it in every other way.

With its bland, repetive gameplay, recycled in-game graphics, mid-battle slowdown, and awkwardly placed musical insertions, it's hard for the game's better features to really shine.

If you have the equipment (2 USB Mice, I-Link Cable, 2 TV's and 2 PS2's) and a friend you can find some unique and worthy gameplay.

If you love this series on PC then stick to it there because the essence of what makes HMM is just hinted at on PS2.

Paying thirty bucks for the privilege of seeing/playing the best-looking 'Woody' ever pulled out of thin air is still too high a price for such a generic, dead-average, inoffensive, platform-hopping and scavenger-hunting single-player experience.

As good as the control and visual re-enactment of the real-life planes come across in Aero Elite, AM2 and Sega drop the ball somewhat when the players become proficient armchair pilots and start itching for new challenges beyond those of the Training missions.
