    This isn't a game for everyone, namely those with little patience, but for anyone else willing to put the time into playing this game will find an adventure like no other on the PlayStation 2 and currently the best RPG out there.

    It needs a few more levels and a few multiplayer options to enter into the top tier of elite PS2 action games, but until then it's an all too brief affair worth playing but not owning (unless you're committed).

    A solid, safe and hard-as-hell choice for all your snowboarding needs.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    There isn't a tree, mountain, character, location or special effect in this game that has any degree of personality or liveliness within its existence, making the whole engine seem like an assembly-line, cookie-cutter, by-the-numbers effort on the part of From Software.

    With the Dual Shock 2 available in every PS2 box, why do we still not have analog control here? Other than that the game plays as it always has, acceptable.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Dungeon-crawling, hack-and-slash, spell-casting, first-person RPG action at its console best, pretentious story and dated graphics not withstanding.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Other than the voices though, the rest of the audio package in "Legends 2" is just vanilla-plain decent.

    While we still would prefer to play our heroes Brett Hull and Mike Modano in a hockey game, Speedball 2100 is a great alternative.
    • 63 Metascore

    I really like SS and will pull it out of the shelf once every few moons, when I'm about three dozen other PS2 games shy of suggesting you spend $50 for it, when the same price tag can get you a discounted "House of the Dead 2" and third-party lightgun for your Dreamcast.

    "Goldeneye" fans looking for another adventure probably won't have too good of a time with this one since it needs more than one person to truly shine.
    • 91 Metascore

    Absolutely the most fun you can have playing by yourself...For multiplayer look at Sega's excellent "NFL 2K1."
    • 54 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    It's got minimal replayability, awful voices and a mixed bag of goodies, but it's strangely addictive and not too hard on the nugget when it comes to planning and strategy.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Rent it, beat it, forget it ever existed and start drooling over the upcoming "Winback" remake.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A game that is not quite what the Sony hype built up for but is fun nonetheless.
    • 44 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    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.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    I could go on and on about how "CB 2001" acts and walks radical, but fails to deliver the satisfying appeal of an 'extreme' sports game.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 96 Critic Score
    With a story that isn't exactly there and a little confusing it's missing the feeling of being a true hero. Still the action is top notch and the missions are fun to boot.

    • 71 Critic Score
    It's a mediocre game that never gets too bad to advise a complete avoidance.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    This port needed more time to clean up the framerate and spruce up the visuals.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Don't expect a greatest hit and know that in the end this is still Pinball, which while cool, gets old fast.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    "Street Fighter EX3" has the awkward distinction of being the best-looking "EX" game in the series, but the worst-looking brawler in comparison to its competitors' robust engines.

    The gameplay hasn't evolved too terribly much but it has improved.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Warning though, this one is for those with plenty of patience and FPS experience. Novice players need not apply.
    • 85 Metascore

    For its $10 asking price "Stage II" (and Midway's other Psygnosis refugee "Team Buddies") cannot be beat in replayability. Buy with ease.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    Mild entertainment but nothing too deep or significant for the money.
    • 91 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    One of the rare, few 32-bit games that still impresses, still retains magic after being beaten, and still begs for one last shot at exploring all its secrets and milking all its three-dimensional worth.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    This is not a "Gran Turismo 2" simulation-type of driving game, but it sure plays like one on TV (when hooked to a PSX of course).
    • 70 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    I hear "SSX" is great, and if you're not getting a PS2, I'd go with the immortal "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2." Skateboarding, snowboarding, same diff.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    It's not one of those blockbuster games that everyone must have but it is a somewhat original take on a genre that continues to provide fun and entertainment.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 96 Critic Score
    I must say that Dino Crisis 2 is the most pleasing new experience in this whole Survival Genre yet.
