A bad frame-rate, severely choppy animation, and a hard-to-spot aiming cursor are just a few things that seriously hinder Power Spike's promising but flawed gameplay.

The new game modes are fun to play. However, the repackaged graphics and sound just don't improve significantly over last year's version. In some respects they are worse.

Just flat out fun to play. Is it better than "Sega GT?" Yes. Is it better than "F-355?" Yes. I can honestly say that it's the best racer on the Dreamcast and on any system for that matter. "Whoa! Man, are you saying this is the best racer of all time?" Yep, that's what I'm saying.

Essentially what I expected it to be, which is to say, a $30 "patch" for the dismal "TW2K."

With all the extra power of the PS2, all EA could do was add two more cars to the field. The 20 cars race in a pseudo-sim. This leaves arcade and sim racing fans alike scratching their heads.

Would have failed as a traditional racing game, since the racing itself is rather boring and uninspired. The limited trick list and lack of common features, such as a track editor and create-a-rider mode, also detract from the game.

If it weren't for the beautiful graphics, great sound, awesome gameplay, and enormous replay value NBA2K1 would have nothing going for it.

I had a lot more fun with the PSX version of Fifa 2001. Sure, it's also an arcade experience, but the passes don't move as fast, the tackles aren't as vicious and there isn't the useless shoot bar. Fifa 2001 PC is a huge disappointment and it's time the Fifa series got a major overhaul.

With tight gameplay, huge environments, and stunning graphics, SSX is the most enjoyable snowboarding game ever made, and it is easily one of the best games available for the PS2.

The gameplay and AI is solid, albeit a little aggressive.

While Shootout 2001 is not a bad game, it's not as good as "Live 2001" for the PSX.

The cure for your sim racing obsessions -- smashing through junkyards and leaping over freight trains in a single bound will put a smile on even the most dedicated simulation junkie's face. It's not a great game, but you'll have a great time.

While it lacks freshness, a combination of colorful graphics and realistic ball physics gives it broad appeal.

While the graphics aren't as good as I expected from this PS2 title, they are still a huge jump up for PlayStation owners. The reported slowdown hardly detracts from enjoying the game.

A damage model makes the game more intriguing, although it is available in only one mode. The graphics suffer from pop-up and collision detection miscues, but overall the game looks good.

The 3D accelerated graphics are a big boost in my eyes and the addition of the APCD is going to give this sim the legs it's been lacking in recent years.

Delivers graphically and excels in the running game, but its passing game comes up short.

Fans of arcade style games, such as myself, will appreciate the game. Its gameplay is fun, and the graphics are wonderful.

Unlike other racing games that offer the same type of race mode over and over again, Demolition Racer offers a collection of modes that will keep you interested and busy.

The game is just plain fun and I can honestly say that I would rather play Live 2001 than almost half of the PS2's line-up of launch games.

Without a doubt one of the best console racing games I have played in the past few years and deserves to mentioned in the same with the likes of "Gran Turismo," "Ridge Racer" and "Sega GT."

There's no question that F12K's presentation is top notch, and it's just frustrating to think that if some of the work put into the presentation had of been channeled into improving the physics and AI, then F12K could have been definitive console F1 simulation.

It's not yet great, but I think more of a stepping stone toward greatness, and the NHL series seems to be finally moving in the right direction.

I just wish that the details of NH were as good as the foundational components such as the physics and graphics engines. The yellow flag bug will ruin a great offline race.

Plays too fast to be considered a serious sim.

It fails to fully address some of the graphical problems in the game, but it does improve the depth of this single player only title.

Definitely a quick fix and will leave you feeling empty after just a few tournaments.

Despite a small field of cars, NASCAR 2001 gives the virtual racer a sense of the thrill of NASCAR racing.

Incredible, and if you buy one live-action soccer game this year, make it either "ISS Pro Evolution" or ESPN MLS GameNight.

Although the AI isn't very good, the game still plays fine. Blitz 2k1 is so entertaining it becomes easy to overlook some of the downfalls.

Although it has some cool secret characters and a neat build-a-mountain feature, the single-player modes are a little too easy.

If you are looking for a football game that will entertain you for the long run, NFL Blitz is not a good choice, especially with games like "Madden 2001" out there.

Somewhere along the line, Elite forgot about the driving. If the vehicle handling, dodgy control, and terrible AI could be addressed in a patch, Ford Racing could be a worthy purchase.

If I could sum up my over 5000 word review in one word, it would be "Wow."

It is fun. I looked forward to each game I played and enjoyed every minute of it.

It's purely an arcade experience but it's incredibly fun and I was really impressed with Vicarious Visions' track designs.

The best fighting game I have ever played. I don't think the game is perfect, but is solid in every area.

What sets the game apart from its rival is the obvious better graphics.

Unfortunately, MS Golf 2001 Edition is marked more by what is missing from previous versions of the game than it is by anything new that has been added.

Overall, even despite some of its shortcomings, this game is a good enough improvement over last year's game to warrant a purchase.

The animation sequences are nothing short of perfection, with pull-down tackles and wrap-around sacks utilizing many frames of action.

Just don't expect the thrill and excitement of your first few hours of play to continue for a long time.

For me, I will stick with "Madden." "Gameday 2001" is still stuck in training camp.

There are so many things wrong with JM2K that even fixing a few of them still won't save the game.

This game could be worth a rental though as by the time the rental is up, you will probably have gotten all you can from the game.

I don't know if Keanu Reeves is a gamer, but if he is, he would probably say, "Whoa, these are some most excellent graphics...dude!"

The game is just boring sometimes and has a couple of ball physics and audio problems that prevent it from being one of the elite golf N64 games on the market.

I've been playing soccer games for more than 15 years, ... Now while there have been many excellent live-action soccer games over that period nothing comes close to either Evolution or GameNight.

This new edition could have been so much more (and some of its features should have been in the original).

Well below average when compared to other all-text sports games. The interface is too multilateral, while there is a feeling that you have little impact on the simulated games.
