A decent game that makes you crave more. More AI riders, more options, more depth. If it had these things it would be a must-buy title.

The gameplay is solid, despite the Pro Tour mode's complete lack of originality.

A very challenging game with the computer constantly hitting clutch shots when the game is on the line.

The game becomes nothing more than a button masher.

If they fix most of what's wrong above, I'd estimate the actual Overall score would increase to somewhere in the 94-97 range. The game is THAT good and, unfortunately, THAT buggy.

Apart from having cool flatland tricks and an interesting road-trip theme, Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX 2 is rather stale.

Suffers from a poor control scheme and sketchy fielding. This arcade title lacks the depth of simulation-based baseball games and ultimately strikes out.

Clearly the first impression High Heat makes is one of an ugly girl. It's ugly. Real ugly. But once you get into the game you'll uncover a pretty good baseball game.

Too many quirks in the AI to be considered an accurate simulation of basketball. However, NBA Live 2002 does give you an enjoyable multiplayer game with friends.

DICE has done a respectable job of transferring the Midtown Madness experience to the Xbox.

Apart from having cool flatland tricks and an interesting road-trip theme, Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX 2 is rather stale.

NHL 2005 does have many things going for it, but it just is not as good as "ESPN NHL 2K5." There are no glaring problems with EA's game, but it just was not as fun as it had the potential to be.

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

VB may fall short in terms of graphics and options, but the bread-and-butter of any game, the gameplay, is outstanding. You won't find a better, more enjoyable boxing game than this.

"Swing Away Golf" may lack the visual realism and quick load times of TWPT2001, but it offers more bang for the buck, with crisper, more detailed graphics; more replay value; and ball physics that are about as accurate.

Lack of a decent replay, lack of injuries, the occasional quirky fielding, and squatty player models. But honestly EA and Treyarch have put forth a nice product, making several improvements over the PSX versions of the game. The implementation of the pressure-sensitive buttons adds a whole new dimension to the game.

A bare bones arcade basketball game short on simulation elements and long on minor flaws.

The atmosphere is there, but the game style, more so than a lack of animation or AI, is not correct.

The stereotypical supermodel would be a good way to describe this title. The first few moments spent with Wreckless will really impress, but once you start investigating a little you'll notice a lack of substance.

A game that does its license proud. It's the most complete boxing game to come out recently.

The overall gameplay feels almost unchanged from the previous NFL Fever games.

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.

While EA Sports' F1 title has better graphics, sound, and features, Formula One 2001's superior driving and racing model make it the PS2 F1 game of choice in my mind.

A truckload of fun to play and a must-buy for hardcore rugby union fans (who aren't exactly spoiled for choice in this genre). Casual fans of the sport may want to rent first, and see if they like the control scheme.

What's the difference between EA Sports' Fifa series and a dairy cow? A dairy cow is only milked for 3 years...

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.

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

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