    There simply is no other game like this on PS2, and that alone makes it an attractive -if somewhat expensive- $50 gamble.

    A wonderful mix of ironic humor, classic gameplay and gorgeous graphics.

    'Best Damn Shooter on a Console.'
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Beautiful visuals, amazing depth and accessibility that few other fighters have been able to offer.

    Ultimately succeeds at what it attempts to do because it gives the world its first Casper videogame that's actually as much fun to watch as it is to play.

    There's a distinct lack of personality or defined identity for what "Extreme Racing" attempts to achieve.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    [It] isn't for kids of the easily-frustrated, and should be tackled only by the hardcore puzzle nut that wants "Lemmings", "The Sims" and an average Japanese living arrangement rolled into one supremely hard PSOne nutcracker.

    Backyard Soccer should, indeed, be buried in someone's backyard and then stepped on forever by kids playing soccer on a make-believe soccer field above its burial ground.

    Rent "Gadget Racers" instead.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    It's this inflexibility to allow for player experimentation that keeps "Sheep Raider" into the realm of very good PSOne game, instead of the near-classic status.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    An above average fishing game. Virtual Anglers will find plenty to like here.
    • 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.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    With solid puzzles, a great story, creepy settings, the most disgusting monsters ever and puzzles that simply rock, Silent Hill 2 has gained my respect in the survival horror genre.
    • 92 Metascore

    NHL 2002 has finally unseated "NHL '94" as the only hockey game I would actually fight with other players over a controller in an eight-man multiplayer match.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Hockey has never been more action packed, violent and fun than this unique and oh so Midway approach to the fastest game on earth.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    What Midway has done so well is to clearly give the gamer arrows and clear circles to help define each goal. Although you can really fly through the levels at top speeds, these help indicators really keep the game moving at a fun pace without making things frustrating.

    Not for everybody, but the committed few that love F1 racing can purchase this puppy knowing their $50 are getting them one heck of a decent-looking, long and challenging affair.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It's very beautiful and easy to control, but there's nothing much that's new or improved here.

    Ico isn’t a new type of game but rather one taken to near perfection. Rarely does a game gel like this and it’s simply the work of a master.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    It's a great multiplayer game for parties, especially with those non-gamer types.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    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.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A worthy companion piece to the regular DDR titles.
    • 45 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    I’ve decided to rename it “Chaotic Thunder”. See the game is such a chaotic mess that it’s hard to describe.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    The improvements are great and make the game closer to the vision of a great 3D X-Men fighter but it’s hard to recommend a game that is so lacking in depth that it becomes quickly tiresome.

    Vicki is no Lara Croft and unfortunate[ly] for 3DO she's not even close.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    Quality RPG gameplay wrapped in 2D nostalgia, and a good buy for those seeking maximum real-time battle bang out of their hard-earned bucks.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Take away the Quarterback Challenge mode and this game falls down into the hellish pit of inconsequentiality.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A textbook example of how to make a sequel.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    It's merely coasting on the competency of an engine that's good-enough to recycle last year's features without improvements, rule changes or a playable Michael Jordan.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    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.
