    If I had to choose I'd say "ESPN NBA 2Night" is better than "NBA Live 2001", which in turn is marginally better than both "ShootOut 2001" and "Final Four."

    It falls squarely in the middle of fun and boring as it's both. The repetitive nature of the game just takes out any fun that might have occurred in the beginning.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A fun and decent (albeit shallow and simplistic) way for Sega fanboys to blow steam and reminisce about their favorite developer’s glory days. Renting Marz, however, is the safest (and cheapest) way to get the most of what this PS2 title has to offer.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Paying full price for "Real Pool" would be an insult to every other good PS2/DC/PSX/N64/GBC title that you haven't played yet.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    Devoid of the humanity and humor of its motion picture counterpart, the leads of Lilo & Stitch on PSOne might as well be item-collecting and enemy-hopping albino alligators or mentally-challenged snails.
    • 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.

    • 30 Critic Score
    Someone over at Blade Interactive must have been asleep at the wheel when coding this game's sound effects and music.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    $10 more would get you "Gran Turismo 2" though, and, if you don't have that one yet, trust us it's worth the difference in price.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    We wailed on the controller and got a few laughs out of the game but in the end it just doesn't match the excellence of its Dreamcast brother.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Too bad the flawed AI of the CPU opposition, choppy graphics and lack of customization keep it far below the excellence of EA's and Sega's PS2 college games.
    • 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.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A platform and puzzle game with miniscule amounts of action through a strong storyline.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Tedious puzzles, monotonous action and some of the worst English voice-overs ever committed to DVD-ROM sink into oblivion what little chance Cy Girls had to impress an American audience not exposed to the original TV show that inspired its creation.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    The perfect April Fool's present for people that like to waste fifty bucks (or countless hours of their life) staring at a 'Loading' sign.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Vicki is no Lara Croft and unfortunate[ly] for 3DO she's not even close.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 47 Critic Score
    If you're over the nostalgia that the prequel inspired, and don't give a rat's ass about poor Daisy's plight, leave this turd for those who don't know better.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 56 Critic Score
    There's a distinct lack of personality or defined identity for what "Extreme Racing" attempts to achieve.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A poor man’s ".hack" clone with characters/sounds from the Virtua Fighter series poorly tacked-on for no reason other than name recognition.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Maybe getting drunk would help me appreciate the simplistic gameplay and halfway-decent graphics that "Top Angler" is trying to pass as PS2 worthy.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Passable graphics, decent sound, an uncooperative camera angle and cakewalk difficulty make this a great rental option for fans of the movie.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    The association with Kurosawa’s classic ’54 epic notwithstanding, 20XX is just too mindless and repetitive a hack-and-slash experience to recommend.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    There are still areas that could use improvement but I must say I am pleased with the progress. This is a College Hoops game that should be given a look.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    Doesn't bring an iota of freshness or anything even remotely unique or original (and no, the memorable theme song or the well-known voices of the Smurfs are not here to save the game from itself).
    • 52 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    If you're a fan of the show add a point here to take the game from good to very good.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    This has got to be THE WORST CONTROL IN THE HISTORY OF THIRD-PERSON ACTION GAMES.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Sounds completely average and inconsequential, plus it lacks the Xbox version’s Dolby 5.1 support.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    Generic and by-the-numbers, 007 Racing shoehorns one of the world's best-known licenses into a dated car combat engine that wouldn't be taken seriously without it.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    The cartoony violence, blood spills and redneck appeal of Backyard Wrestling’s rural locales and colorful cast of characters wears thin quicker than the time it took its equally-shoddy sequel to come out.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    "Twisted Metal 2" is light years beyond Small Brawl. Small Brawl is more akin to a Gameboy Advance game than a full fledged PSX SKU.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A game I expected to match or exceed "Baldur's Gate" doesn't even come close.
