    Not as bad as "4x4 Evo" but nowhere near as good as other off-road racers on PS2 (especially Angel Studio's own "Smuggler's Run").

    Extreme G3 is so good, that if and when "Wipeout Fusion" is ever released it will have to be such an amazing game to even kiss the shoes of G3.

    Less-than-impressive graphics and underwhelming sound aside, we cannot help but recommend highly Le Mans 24 Hours to the simulation driving fans out there that are done (or stumped) completing "GT3: A-Spec".
    • 67 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Meant more for rental amusement than for full-price consumption.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    solid game that will get it's deserved audience and hopefully become the blockbuster the Dreamcast kept it from being. Hunt on zombie killer!
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A massive improvement over the decent shooting/evading/customizing/dashing action from its predecessor. No mech fanatic would be sane without checking it out.
    • 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.

    New modes, better AI and less of the floaty artificial feeling from 2001 makes Madden 2002 a football game for the ages. It's going to be hard for anyone to make a better pigskin game than this.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It's not quite the "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater" equal but still worthy of your summertime void.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    The best asset of Madden 2002 is still its overall sense of providing the complete package for hardcore simulation fans as well as casual armchair quarterbacks or groups of up to eight football-mad NFL fanatics.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Diminished quality, lackluster programming effort and PlayStation 2-unworthy effects.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    The tightness with which seemingly every limb and every movement (offensive or defensive) of every player on the field can be controlled with the touch of a button has remained remarkably simple over the years.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A platform and puzzle game with miniscule amounts of action through a strong storyline.
    • 91 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    This is crack cocaine, lottery tickets, booze, coffee and your-Robert Downey Jr.-consumed-drug-of-choice addiction of choice, all squeezed into a playable PS2 platforming experience that runs/talk/looks like a 2.5D duck.

    The NFL has always been my game of choice but NCAA Football 2002 has caught my heart. It's not perfect but it's the most fun I've had with noname players in years.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It's unoriginal and very short (I was able to complete it in a couple of days without really trying to beat it), but a gas while it lasts and home to some of the nicest-looking and best-renderd FMV cinemas your puny little eyes have ever seen.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A fun and unique title that stands out from the crowd of sequels and me-too clones. Coupled with good gameplay and fantastic control and it's the first big hit for Take 2 on the PS2.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    "Rugby" lacks the typical gameplay bells and whistles that have become commonplace in EA Sports' line-up of sims. No Create-A-Player mode, no Season mode, no statistical tracking of teams and/or players, etc.
    • 95 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    I cannot say that I have ever played a driving game that has challenged me and given me more feelings of reward for my hard-earned efforts than "Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec."
    • 48 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Despite the possibilty of too much repetition or worklike feeling, EF brings the first true traditional RPG to the PS2. The story is interesting, the mini-games unique, the characters vivid and the locations fascinating.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Dark Angel is like a McDonalds Value Meal: it'll fill your hack-and-slash needs, but won't add any worthy RPG nutrients to your gaming diet.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Although not shallow-enough to be deemed brain-dead, the antics of MX 2002 aren't going to make "GT3" gearheads sit up and take notice.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Appeals to a specific type of sports gamer (the arcade soccer fanatic) that probably has had his fill of virtual footie action with similar alternatives on competing systems.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 98 Critic Score
    A true blast from the past that earns classic status in this reviewers eyes. Please do yourself a favor and live or relive some of the finest moments in videogame history.

    • 51 Critic Score
    Brings the same sound gameplay premise but faulty execution of its predecessors to unsuspecting (or complacent) PSOne owners willing to shell $10 for it.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    An amusing and brain-dead PS2 game that will appeal to the side of everyone's brain that thinks blowing stuff to kingdom come is cool, but which will outgrow its welcome as soon as everything that can be seen or blown-to-bits in this limited setting has been done.
    • 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.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Nowhere near the king of the car combat genre (that'd be "TM Black" BTW), MM still manages to be decent-enough to be worth renting and beating together with a pal over a lazy summer weekend.
    • 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.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    If it were just a little less linear, a little bit longer and a little less unforgiving in some of its latter stumpers (lots of 'littles' for a game trying to compensate for its lack of... well, you know!)
