    Herdy Gerdy
    I found myself enjoying the game most when I would play in 30 minute or so span times. I would get to a place that would frustrate me, turn the game off and then come back later to progress.

    Knockout Kings 2002
    It has some bad control issues, but comes with plenty of boxers, solid AI, a new faster engine and some of the best boxing graphics yet.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 52 Critic Score
    Dexter's Laboratory: Mandark's Lab?
    Fans of the Cartoon Network TV show will either think this is cute or a preposterous excuse (and license) on which to pin some loosely-connected and shareware-worthy mini-games.

    Shadow Man: 2econd Coming
    Don't let the wonky control, atrocious loading breaks and intended lack of direction keep you from renting one of the deepest, most rewarding and mature adventure games to come down the PS2 pike since Eidos' "Soul Reaver 2".

    Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the Future
    It's hard but fair, gorgeous to look at and pleasant to listen to (Enya-inspired soundtrack notwithstanding).
    • 81 Metascore

    All-Star Baseball 2003
    The best installment in the series, with only a few minor issues keeping it below 3DO's stellar "High Heat Baseball 2003".
    • 57 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    EOE: Eve of Extinction
    There's just no way around it, the camera is terrible and contributes to making this game’s fun factor go way down.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    ESPN NBA 2Night 2002
    The game is just not as fun to play as either its prequel or the new breed of b-ball games. This is mostly due to arcade physics forced to fit into the straight jacket of a simulation engine.

    Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2002
    What EA Sports' "NHL 2002" is to videogame hockey,..."PGA Tour 2002" has become to videogame golf: the simulation standard-bearer to beat.

    Pac-Man World 2
    Classic platforming action done right. It’s tough as nails, fun and paced to near perfection. What it isn’t, is very original.

    Digimon Rumble Arena
    It's the closest thing to "Super Smash Bros." that the PSOne will ever get, and based on the compromised look of the graphics on display here that's probably a good thing.

    Gitaroo Man
    It's meant for those players that can achieve a perfect rating in "Dance Dance Revolution" and are still hungry for more hand-eye coordinated punishment after working out a sweat.

    • 50 Critic Score
    Woody Woodpecker: Escape from Buzz Buzzard Park
    Paying thirty bucks for the privilege of seeing/playing the best-looking 'Woody' ever pulled out of thin air is still too high a price for such a generic, dead-average, inoffensive, platform-hopping and scavenger-hunting single-player experience.

    World Tour Soccer 2002
    Those who desire the more strict interpretation of European Soccer will find this style more to their liking. Those looking for fast fun gameplay will want to rent first to see if this taste appeals to their tastebuds.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Pirates: The Legend of Black Kat
    There’s nothing terribly wrong with the game but there’s also nothing terribly special either.
    • 59 Metascore

    Peter Pan in Disney's Return to Neverland
    Guess what mom and dad? A bone without meat will still make Jr. crave the addictive gameplay and cutting-edge visuals that the PSOne simply can't squeeze anymore.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    State of Emergency
    Despite its limited depth, State Of Emergency is a lengthy beat-em up that truly shines in short bursts.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    High Heat Major League Baseball 2003
    HHB 2003 has it all. Good looks, great presentation, solid AI, fun unique game modes and plenty of style.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Maximo: Ghosts to Glory
    Fun but frustrating at the same time and only a few steps from being brilliant, Maximo is a must play.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Star Wars: Racer Revenge
    Where Revenge drops the ball somewhat is in the surprising lack of stuff to do or find once all the racing circuits and characters have been unlocked.

    NFL Blitz 20-02
    Another new addition is icon passing. This actually works really well, especially for those who are more advanced gamers.

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

    AirBlade
    NAMCO is asking fifty bucks for the privilege of having our fingers sore and our pride hurt from playing a virtual masochist's dream come true.

    ESPN International Winter Sports 2002
    I've been at late night college parties in which better-organized sports events [than curling] are improvised out of rocks, tree branches and snow (don't ask)!
    • 71 Metascore

    Grandia II
    Enjoy Grandia II for its appealing characters, interesting story, 30+ hour length and the best active-time battle engine in the business.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Drakan: The Ancients' Gates
    The original PC version's RPG trappings have been watered down, effectively diminishing strategy and story-telling in favor of lengthy fetch quests and mucho butt-kicking action.
    • 67 Metascore

    PaRappa the Rapper 2
    Oh, my how the great have fallen...$50 for Parappa 2 is "highway robbery."
    • 78 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    MotoGP 2
    In the right frame of mind and with enough patience, "MGP2" is an absolute blast for players who want their racing semi-realistic, hard and with a convincing sense of virtual speed hitting their windshield (i.e. the TV screen).
    • 27 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    GoDai: Elemental Force
    It's as if 3DO felt that the horrendous Core-designed, Eidos-published PS One game "Ninja" deserved an equally-flawed sequel that doesn't look much better than Activision's "Tenchu" games.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Forever Kingdom
    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.
