    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?

    Vietcong could suck the sheet metal from a Sherman tank at 500 yards. This is by far the worst game on the PlayStation 2 and the dumb bastard that pays forty dollars for this lackluster frisbee deserves every second of the torment that it spits out.

    I had the lowest expectations when I booted-up "Sarge's Heroes 2" on my PSOne, only to be pleasently surprised that it actually looks and plays like someone at 3DO put love and heart into creating it.

    A budget-priced bowling game that’s as unpretentious as it is well put together and fun (in small doses and with the right group of friends under the right circumstances… wink, wink! :-P).

    They have the right idea with the Virtua Tennis approach but failed to come even close with the graphics to match. Shoddy graphics ruin this game ultimately.

    There is none of the user-friendliness and open-ended approach that made "Super Smash Bros." clone "Digimon Rumble Arena" such a pleasant experience.

    It's just a Wendy's Chicken Sandwich: tasty and delicious, but not tasty (or well-promoted) enough to go up against the Big Mac and the Whooper.

    • 50 Critic Score
    It's a fun game that I enjoyed playing but it just doesn't bring anything new to the genre that make is memorable several years from now.

    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.

    A pleasant surprise that is faithful to the movie without compromising the game.

    You know Konami has screwed-up royally when a 15 year-old beat’em up wipes the floor with their current batch of Turtles games.

    What the hell is happening to the Sega that I knew and loved through the Genesis, Saturn and Dreamcast eras?

    Catwoman isn’t a game as much as a licensed train wreck.
    • 46 Metascore

    For a few brief seconds when you are adequately surfing, this game can be fun, but it is so unforgiving that the moment swiftly ends and you are ready to break the disc.

    Even faithful fans of the TV show will have to extract their Powerpuff Girls fix from the far superior motion picture DVD than this hellish misfire.

    Despite new licensed wrestlers, dozens of new songs and new additions meant to appeal to rural America’s prurient interests (i.e. porn stars as playable wrestlers) Backyard Wrestling 2’s bad graphics, poor collision detection and awful dialogue sink it into the pit of holiday expendability.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    Not a bad game, just dated and uninspired.
    • 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.
    • 45 Metascore

    I’d rather have root canal without anesthesia than to ever put myself through the pain that is playing this game any more than I had to already!

    Once you go it alone, it becomes increasingly clear that your teammate AI is straight out pathetic.

    A year ago this would have been a slight-step above "Army Men"-like badness, but in late 2001 it just doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of justifying its existence as stand-alone PS2 software.

    The story is cute but nothing really deep and basically just has you playing the various types of Tetris included to move the story along.

    No sensation of speed in a snowboarding videogame = no fun!

    I remember a time when there were no boxing games whatsoever on PlayStation, and a game like this could have gotten away with its mediocrecy and sell well on Tyson's name alone.

    This game is obviously meant to be played by little children.

    Proves that quick knockoffs suplemented by cheap tactics will usually result in mediocrity.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    Cheerful, juvenile and more fun than what our rating might imply, "Danger Girl" is undone primarily because it's engine is riddled with technical flaws (collision detection, slug-like speed and frame-rate, poor aiming).
    • 43 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    To quote Bart Simpson "I didnt think it was possible, but this sucks AND blows."
    • 43 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Supercross 2000 is just bland. The game lacks real variety.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 53 Critic Score
    Only the most patient, bored and PS2-deprived gamer should think of wasting the many hours it takes to get enough Norns hatched, trained and breeding to make the three worlds in Creatures come alive.
