Stay away, far, far away from this and let's hope "ESPN NFL Primetime" can give EA some competition.

In the end this probably should have been called Generic Bass, a more fitting term.

The basis of what is to be an awesome football game has been laid out...It needs better AI, better tackling animations and more via presentation to realistically challenge Madden.

From generic level designs to Nina Williams’ busted right analog control, and from amateurish voice acting to an unbearable amount of never-ending loading pauses, this game is inexcusably poor and no fun to play whatsoever.

Delivers a zero-frills interpretation of a board game that is best enjoyed with friends gathered around a table, NOT a TV set hooked up to a PS2.

A mindless hack-and-slash experience with little to distinguish it from the many similar titles that preceded it, this rehash of last year’s "Castlevania: Lament of Innocence" engine is a good excuse to blow both steam and a free rental at Blockbuster.

Blade in the end disappoints with frustratingly cheap gameplay that offers little fun.

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.

Dreadful, boring and not featuring an iota of the excitement and intensity found in its motion picture counterpart, Minority Report disappoints at every turn.

Gets brownie points for being curious and backing up that curiosity with a shoot-a-thon conventional-enough to be otherwise average-at-best.

I’d rather replay the boring parts of “Code: Veronica X” or the entirety of Agetec’s “Disaster Report” (a shitty-looking survival game we’re also reviewing today) than suffer through one more minute of Galerians: Ash’s broken gameplay and uninspired gameplay ideas.

The average, barely-passable shooting antics of Dragon Rage are a nice match to its mediocre graphics, mediocre sound, serviceable control and very tempting low asking price.

A solid game that surprised me with its heavy action and interesting scenery.

A decent-enough scavenger hunt to amuse youngsters for quite a few hours of simple and repetitive item-gathering and level-clearing fun.

Its unimpressive graphics and unrealistic physics keep it firmly anchored in the 'arcadey' and 'rent before you buy' categories though, despite an above-average attention to small audio details.

I don’t think my heartbeat rate rose above that of a dead corpse even once while playing Whiteout.

When is milking a franchise for all it's worth enough? How about when the franchise's 3rd edition comes out looking and feeling absolutley no different from it's second edition?

If bad videogames were disasters then Salt Lake 2002 would be The Hindenberg explosion and the sinking of Titanic rolled into one.

Its dead-average platforming thrills, low asking price and beyond over-the-top visual style are this game’s saving graces.

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?

With friends and the AI removed from the equation, it shines bright as an arcadey college hoops game for the fans; as a single-player recreation of the road to Final Four tournament, it lacks refinement and long-term replayability.

From generic character designs to an underwhelming audio presentation (in a LucasArts game??!!), and from its close-to-unwatchable frame-rate choppiness to the endlessly boring fetch quests across Mars, RTX Red Rock is a laundry list of what NOT to put out on the crowded 3rd person action/adventure PS2 market these days.

Scores higher than "The Bouncer" (despite looking worse than James Gandolfini at a nudist retreat) because it's lengthy and brain-dead fun that anyone can just pick and play right away.

We can only sigh when playing and seeing such massive amounts of slowdown, dark level design and poor control.

Mindless action/adventure fare of the wrong and ill-conceived variety.

Little effort went into trying to elevate the premise of the game (a young woman struggling with the evil side of her personality trying to emerge and cause deadly mischief) into something more psychological and frightening than what we ended up with.

Software that would have even embarrassed the Sega Saturn in its worst days. I'd rather be chasing me some of 'em Duke Boys than been caught dead replaying this turd.

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.
