    Galerians: Ash
    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.

    Guilty Gear X2
    How willing you are to invest time and effort into mastering Guilty Gear X2’s intimidating (and deep) list of moves and potential combos will determine whether this will be a casual distraction or your next obsession.
    • 63 Metascore

    Black & Bruised
    There simply isn’t lots to do once all the fighters have been unlocked and the stories for each virtual fighter have been experienced.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    HSX HyperSonic.Xtreme
    Someone over at Blade Interactive must have been asleep at the wheel when coding this game's sound effects and music.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Devil May Cry 2
    One of the most enjoyable (and expensive!) guilty pleasures of 2003 so far, but one that falls short of its predecessor’s ahead-of-its-time greatness.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The Getaway
    Speaking of gameplay this is where the title just can't manage to break out from the norm. What we needed here was something full of new ideas, not just a revolution of the ideas already given in previous games.
    • 83 Metascore

    The Sims
    Probably more fun than any other game released in the last half of 2002.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    ATV Quad Power Racing 2
    Competent but unoriginal.

    War of the Monsters
    A really nice mix of "Powerstone" and "Rampage."

    Dynasty Warriors 3: Xtreme Legends
    Hardcore fans of this Koei action series will be in affordable expansion pack heaven, since Xtreme Legends delivers more of what made “DW3” such a challenging and amusing button-masher of a 3D “Final Fight” clone.
    • 50 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    E.T. Interplanetary Mission
    A decent-enough scavenger hunt to amuse youngsters for quite a few hours of simple and repetitive item-gathering and level-clearing fun.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Seek and Destroy
    Not only is Seek and Destroy's ratio of gameplay miles-per-dollar better in Conspiracy's latest PS2 import ($10 worth), but the multiplayer options and light-hearted atmosphere don't take themselves the least bit seriously.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Star Wars: The Clone Wars
    Not even a framey and slightly-buggy engine (collision detection issues galore!) can prevent this title from being a must-own recommendation for Star Wars buffs.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Pro Race Driver
    What Bam!'s 2001 release "Driven" should have, but wasn't: a good racing engine tied to an unfolding story.

    • 50 Critic Score
    IHRA Drag Racing 2
    A competent but no-frills rendition of a racing sport that put as much emphasis in the tweaking of the vehicle being raced as in the all-too-quick races themselves.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Dragon Ball Z: Budokai
    It flirts awfully close with being a mindless button-masher, but Budokai embraces its “Dragon Ball Z” license with a passion and eye for little details that’ll surely make hardcore fans of the series flip from joy.
    • 83 Metascore

    NCAA College Basketball 2K3
    Easily the best NCAA basketball game in ages.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon
    It’s an OK military shooter that just can’t measure up to the likes of “Red Faction II” or “Timesplitters 2” in variety, options and replayability.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Island Xtreme Stunts
    Consider this a toddler’s indoctrination into future TEEN rated fare like “Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 9” and “Stuntman 4.”
    • 57 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    NCAA Final Four 2003
    Competent but inferior to its souped-up competitors, Final Four 2003 is an amusing weekend rental at best.
    • 38 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Evolution Snowboarding
    There is a brain-dead appeal to the desperate way Konami has reinvented its struggling “ESPN Winter X-Games Snowboarding” franchise into a “Road Rash” clone.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Legends of Wrestling II
    Wrestler models are detailed and life-like when standing still, but prone to slowdown and awkward-looking animation when moving.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Rygar: The Legendary Adventure
    This classic next-generation action experience overflows with class and attention to detail, welcoming 80’s veterans and young newcomers into its pseudo-intellectual (!) interpretation of classic Greek motifs and 3D action platforming.
    • 50 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Whiteout
    I don’t think my heartbeat rate rose above that of a dead corpse even once while playing Whiteout.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Mystic Heroes
    Mystic Heroes is to “DW 2 & 3” what “Virtua Fighter Kids” is to “Virtua Fighter 2” and “Twisted Metal Small Brawl” is to “Twisted Metal Black”: a Super Deformed take on the same hack-and-slash 3D gameplay from its grown-up predecessor.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    The Powerpuff Girls: Relish Rampage
    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.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    NCAA March Madness 2003
    The implementation of “NBA Live 2003’s” Freestyle Control doesn’t mesh perfectly with this particular engine’s loose physics. The sameness of the b-ball courts and annoying cutscenes from “Live 2003” don’t help the cause either.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Total Immersion Racing
    What few vehicles/locations the game has have been rendered and programmed with enough care to make them come across as genuine labors of love.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Drome Racers
    A handful of neat fire and particle special effects can’t hide the fluctuating frame-rate, generic track design and lack of originality that permanently doom Drome Racers to PS2 inconsequentiality.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Activision Anthology
    Highly recommended IF you’re old-enough to afford waxing nostalgically about the good old Atari VCS days.
