    If players approach "Supercross World" as an arcade racer that plays by the indoor and outdoor rules of motocross though, then it has plenty to offer...Dead-average, brain-dead motocross fun at its most basic level.

    Just like its motion picture counterpart, MIB2 is a rehash of ideas and concepts from other media forms without an identity or personality of its own.
    • 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.

    XXX is designed in such a linear way that the game grows boring and repetitive due to its lackluster rewards (censored stripper videos) and outdated engine.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    An admirable, but ultimately misguided, attempt to try to do something more than a mindless rehash of the characters/settings from the movie on which its based.

    The learning curve requires a lot of work. Who wants to put that in when games like "Rumble Racing" are around and do it better?
    • 55 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Utilizing VIS' State of Emergency engine, the game is simply a mind-numbing experience. While there are indeed positives to be found, they are vastly outweighed by the negatives.

    If you dig the Yu Yu Hakusho anime (particularly the Dark Tournament saga) then you’ll be pretty satisfied with this bare-bones PS2 brawler.

    Sega should have known better than to pick after Activision’s pile of rejects.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Consider this a toddler’s indoctrination into future TEEN rated fare like “Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 9” and “Stuntman 4.”
    • 47 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    The very definition of ‘AVERAGE’ (which is what the number ‘5’ represents in our review scale), “Pac-Man Fever” neither diminishes or improves on the “Mario Party” formula set in stone back in ’99 by Hudson Soft.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Lacks the longevity, punch, fun factor (grows too boring and repetitive way too fast) and replayability that separates the best free-roaming hack-and-slash games from the rest.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Quickly loses its fun after the first 30 minutes or so.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    The very definition of interactive mediocrity: good while it lasts, but hardly worth remembering ten minutes after the game’s been shut off.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Add to that the lethargic pace of the action, inconsequential storyline and ridiculous outfits/items (which are an acquired taste at best), and this RPG sinks rather quickly into the ever-growing pool of dead-average RPG's trying to cash on the genre's ever-growing popularity.

    If you're looking for a good samurai game to add to your collection, spare yourself the trouble and shell out the $10 to $20 the first game is going for.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A schitzophrenic camera, irresponsive controls, and slow gameplay make Worms 3D nothing more than fishbait in this reviewer's eyes.
    • 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.
    • 63 Metascore

    Fans of the movie "Dragonheart" and people who like games that run in the same vein as the "Dynasty Warriors" and "Panzer Dragoon" series' will enjoy Drakengard to the fullest while others will recieve a solid, yet short and lacking, gameplay experience that won't leave them completely satisfied.

    There’s some fun to be had with Koei’s latest watered-down thinking man’s game, just not as much (or as historically realistic a war scenario) as in “Romance of the Three Kingdoms VII” or “P.T.O. IV.”
    • 64 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    No, this game doesn’t suck, but it has so little new that you can’t help shake the feeling that it’s old hat and maybe a bit played out.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Just doesn’t have the visual gloss or sounds to compare to "GT3: A-Spec," Namco’s "Moto GP 2" and a dozen other top-notch PS2 racers.

    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.
    • 53 Metascore

    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.

    Its mini-golf courses (trick obstacles and all) and players are so below the 32-bit standards even low-budget titles should aspire to offer.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 46 Critic Score
    For an extra $5 and a trip down the Greatest Hits section of your software retailer you could get better PSX action games. But since when is common sense a virtue?
    • 30 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    Not even pictures/video of gorgeous Hooters girls in skimpy outfits could prevent our violent seizures and brain-hurting flashbacks when we played “Road Trip”.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Horrible control and subpar graphics ruin what could have been a special fighter on the PS2.
    • 72 Metascore

    My biggest beef with Siren is that it's one and only really "key" feature, sightjacking, was played up to be a very useful tool that will be essential in your survival. What no one really bothered to mention is that sightjacking is about all the game really is (at least in the earlier portions of the game).
    • 33 Metascore

    An arcadey boxing game that doesn’t measure-up to Midway’s years-old "Ready 2 Rumble Round 2."
