    One tough mother through and through. It's a simpler, tighter, better-paced and more addictive old-school side-scroller adventure than 1997's "Symphony of the Night."
    • 85 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Delivers the goods big time despite not delivering the ‘Revolution’ its title promises.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A solid, safe and hard-as-hell choice for all your snowboarding needs.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Its graphics and sounds play second fiddle to "GTA: Vice City," but True Crime's excellent incorporation of skill acquisition via the 24/7 training facilities, multi-layered mission objectives (some required, some random) and decent one-on-one fights give its gameplay an identity of its own.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Control is dead-on perfect, and the gameplay is so polished and fun that it compensates for the somewhat lackluster graphics/sounds and the absence of customizable options.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The enhanced visual eye-candy (prettier explosions you won’t find on another light gun game, PS2 or otherwise) and solid frame-rate more than compensate for the now-grating voices and repetitive music that share speaker space with some pretty cool shotgun blasts.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Too bad the lack of variety in the design of the mostly-barren levels, idiotic enemy AI, unrelenting CPU bots and distractingly awful soundtrack (my opinion) diminish somewhat the impact of the best FPS to appear on PS2 in ages.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Scores major points with its new graphics engine (gorgeous), two-man commentary (perfect) and revamped pitcher/batter interfaces (serviceable).
    • 73 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    This is hack n slash how it should be. Furious four player action that lets users bang away for hours on hordes of uniquely designed monsters.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Points off for the annoying sound package and the use of cheap ‘rubber band’ CPU A.I. to keep the races competitive... A rewarding experience. Best EA Big title to date, hands down.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A few small issues (empty transition levels, 'jumpy' camera, 8-10 hr. length, etc.) can't put a dampen on the thrill of finally experiencing a "Castlevania" adventure violent-enough to earn a 'MATURE' rating.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A deeper, more challenging and ultimately more rewarding driving experience than "Auto Modellista” (PS2) or “Apex” (XBox).
    • 74 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It's far for perfect, but Smash Court Tennis Pro Tournament 2 is the best tennis game to come out for PS2 to date.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Zeke is a cool character and the gameplay is enjoyable enough for a good weekend of gameplay.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    While Spider-Man for the PS2 has its fair share of faults, it simply does so many things right, that you can't help but be sucked in by the experience.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Highly recommended IF you’re old-enough to afford waxing nostalgically about the good old Atari VCS days.
    • 91 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Absolutely the most fun you can have playing by yourself...For multiplayer look at Sega's excellent "NFL 2K1."
    • 84 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    With tons of unlockable content, a unique cooperative play mode, a behind the scenes look at the making of the game, an excluisve music video from the band COLD, and an overall gameplay experience that will keep you coming back for more... what's not to love?
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The game's only original feature, a morale meter that affects gameplay based on a player's on-the-field performance, comes across as a tacked-on gimmick.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Every now and then, a truly great game comes out. Viewtiful Joe isn't quite one of them, but it does a nice job of setting the stage for things to come (like the sequel, duh).
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A masterpiece in it's genre. It's a shame its a genre that most casual players won't like.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The best installment in the series, with only a few minor issues keeping it below 3DO's stellar "High Heat Baseball 2003".
    • 84 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    What Midway has done so well is to clearly give the gamer arrows and clear circles to help define each goal. Although you can really fly through the levels at top speeds, these help indicators really keep the game moving at a fun pace without making things frustrating.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    EA’s decision to pander to casual gamers and non-golf fans with “Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2005” threatens to obliterate the reputation the series has built over the past three years as the console golf sim to beat.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    For twenty bucks the consumer is getting one heck of a gameplay-soaked and nostalgia-inducing bag of goods with this CD-ROM.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    There’s not much here that will entice replayability once the game’s numerous secrets have been uncovered.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Awesome combat and a beautiful set of landscapes to do it in put the beat ‘em up back on the road to recovery.
    • 93 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    SSX
    SSX is indeed BIG (thank you very much!), and one of the few games on PlayStation 2 worth its asking price in addictive, fun replayability.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    By far the best espionage title available on any platform.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    This is an above-average port that tries to compensate for its reduced difficulty and average visuals with minor improvements (new level, binoculars, etc.) that have dumbed-down the XBox version’s stealth-reliant gameplay a little bit.
