    Boy, am I a sucker! Not only is Fifa 2001 for the PS2 actually worse than the PC version, it's a complete bastardization of the Beautiful Game and one of the most shallow and boring games I have ever played.

    I gave "Final Four" a better overall score than College Basketball 2k3 on the basis of game play.

    The gameplay of F1 2001 is the best yet for the series on a console. The nagging issues of super grip and limited tuning options have been addressed and the game has rounded the corner on its way to becoming a potential sim lover's dream.

    Questionable baserunning AI, lack of tuning options, and some fielding issues.

    The game play is top notch and the graphics got a great upgrade.

    The strongest college basketball game on the market this season by a good margin.

    Fifa 2002 certainly isn’t as bad as last year’s version, but when push comes to illegal slide tackle, it’s not a great deal better and still doesn’t even come close to "ISS PE1" let alone "ISSPE2" in terms of realism, depth, and fun-factor, and both of those games are for the PSOne!

    The excellent legacy mode is already there, so the game is just a few gameplay tweaks away from greatness.

    The AI is a pushover, the course design is rather bland, the trackside graphics are blander, and the game length is too short.

    My main complaint with the AI is that it is often way too easy to beat in the traditional racing modes. The racing tends to suffer because of the ease of the game.

    The ball physics, course modeling, new swing type, and huge number of options make this a must buy for Links fans.

    A huge improvement from NBA Live 2002, bringing back the enjoyment that had been missing before. Obviously the FreeStyle Control has a huge role in this revival.

    It's the best-looking NASCAR racer on any of the next generation consoles...The AI is solid most of the time, but there are instances where you get clipped for no known reason.

    The selection of courses is excellent, and the outdoor Enduro environments are packed with tons of thrills and secret locations.

    If you can handle the twitchy racing style of the expert mode, the tuning options are numerous. The game features a good damage model, and the support of the Logitech force feedback wheel adds to the realism of the game.

    MLB 2K5 is not the best baseball video game on the market, but that does not mean its bad. The presentation, graphics, and audio, as well as improvements in the online mode help overcome the game's weaknesses.

    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.

    The gameplay really hampers the overall score of the game and probably prevents it from achieving what it is capable of.

    Essentially "SSX" on dirt with a couple of obvious and notable gameplay differences, plus more adrenaline and attitude.

    While the stronger features like the new pitcher/batter interface are outstanding, I'm not sold that this is the king of the mound. The major problem is with the defense, and I think defense wins championships.

    • 87 Critic Score
    The game is virtually a carbon copy of the PSX version. However, the AI and control was tweaked just a wee bit in the positive direction.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    One of the best action-sports titles available, rivaling the great Tony Hawk series. Granted, the audio-visual presentation could have been better, and many bugs and glitches were left intact.

    While it's merely decent as a single-player game, it absolutely shines when played with friends. Regrettably, EA has once again denied Xbox owners online play, preventing the game from reaching its full potential on the Xbox.

    BBCF has made an excellent debut, bringing a game that blends a deep recruiting engine with an unparalleled breadth of team playcalling control.

    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."

    If you can get past some of the sloppy control and strong defensive qualities of the game (including a too-effective poke check), you'll find a game completely opposite all other arcade based titles on the market.

    • 81 Critic Score
    The AI, which is the weak point in this game, can be a bit cheeky at times and will often wreak havoc on the course. If you can manage the AI, you'll find a game with plenty of passing and quality racing.

    MLB
    It is the best handheld baseball game I have played. This is due in large part to the easy pickup and play nature of the game.

    Whereas most types of gamers are likely to enjoy "SSX 3," only those with an interest in snowboarding will fully appreciate Amped 2.

    It's time to forgive Acclaim for the sins of "QB Club." Vanishing Point makes forgiveness easy. This is one dandy racer.
