    Ninja Gaiden
    Retains a feeling that we haven't felt from playing videogames in a long, long time; perhaps it's the sheer difficulty challenge, a key component to many long-forgotten classics; perhaps it's the fact that gameplay prevails over story and character development, something sadly missing from many of today's games; perhaps it's just the fact that Ninja Gaiden is just a damn fun game to play.

    Carve
    Offers nothing fresh or inventive in terms of gameplay and considering the subject matter it needed to. Although it does things better than nearly any other similar themed game that just wasn’t enough.

    James Bond 007: Everything or Nothing
    Offers an intense, action packed experience that ties in a nice selection of varied gameplay aspects to ensure the game never gets tired.
    • 68 Metascore

    Rise to Honor
    The cinematic presentation will certainly appeal to casual gamers; however the sheer repetition, poor AI, lack of depth and longevity issues should be a major concerns to anybody else.

    James Bond 007: Everything or Nothing
    You cannot help but be impressed by the level of [sound] quality, from the superb voice acting to the suitably epic score featured throughout; exceptional on all parts.

    Wars and Warriors: Joan of Arc
    This game has more than enough to entertain fans of RPG and action games and is sure to convert any gamers who normally don’t play this kind of game. It is just a pity that the RTS side of the game took so long to actually start working.

    R-Type Final
    This 2D shooter in a 3D environment may look slightly frayed around the edges and dated in many respects but with so few proper video shooters that go back to the real roots of arcade blasting this is a nice short fix.
    • 73 Metascore

    Sonic Heroes
    It certainly offers one hectic and frenzied gaming experience, which has to be the main element of any Sonic game and something that was sadly missing in the recent titles.

    Maximo vs Army of Zin
    An excellent sequel that manages to improve upon the original in virtually ever way. Gameplay is certainly paramount and in this area Maximo creates a maddeningly addictive experience, which you’ll find hard to drop if you’re brave enough to take on the challenge.

    Max Payne
    Mobius have done a great job on the control system to ensure it’s just as fluid as its predecessors, anyone looking for a quick action blast would be well advised to stick this in their GBA.

    R: Racing Evolution
    It's not the worst racing title we've seen, whilst some of the ideas are worthwhile; it's just a huge shame that the actual racing experience just isn't there.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    R: Racing Evolution
    The result is a title that offers a physics and driving engine that isn’t up to scratch, whilst the actual racing action is turned into a monotonous experience that requires very little skill.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    R: Racing Evolution
    GameCube owners are certainly the luckiest out there, as R: Racer includes the GC-GBA title Pac-Man as a freebie; whilst it’s nothing revolutionary, this fun little title makes a purchase almost worthy.

    X2: The Threat
    It completely blows you away – you’ll be convinced there’s actually a micro-universe living within your PC! The only concern we have with this game is that there is no real learning curve to speak of and the lack of any meaningful tutorial certainly makes it a hard game to approach.

    Deus Ex: Invisible War
    One of the most captivating and thoroughly polished titles in recent times. It’s not perfect, however anyone who has an interest in well-crafted Sci-Fi storylines a la "Minority Report" will find themselves completely captivated with this game.
    • 79 Metascore

    Armed and Dangerous
    A large portion of the enjoyment comes from the same type of British humour that featured in ‘Giants’; it’s certainly not an easy thing to develop a game that manages to make you laugh, however this one certainly succeeds.

    XIII
    The presentation sets the tone brilliantly and drags the player through, but sadly the gameplay is largely forgettable.

    Spawn: Armageddon
    Looks and feels more like a retro offering than a new game.

    Beyond Good & Evil
    The full frontal presentation is the overriding factor for GBE and if you feel that too much emphasis is being placed on its importance and that of its quality and the inordinate amount of audio that is packed into it, which is superb, then you would be wrong.

    XIII
    The presentation sets the tone brilliantly and drags the player through, but sadly the gameplay is largely forgettable.

    Manhunt
    It creates a superbly tense atmosphere that draws you in and completely immerses you, we can’t think of any other stealth game that’s managed this to such good effect. We also like to see developers stretch beyond the barriers and explore ways to touch the players’ emotions – this game certainly does that. But on the other hand the repetition soon becomes apparent and its lack of depth.

    Final Fantasy X-2
    It’s hard for me to say how guys are going to react to the way this game does feel quite female oriented, if even just in presentation, it’s success in Japan suggests that it won’t pose a problem. Just to be safe though they put half naked chicks in it.

    Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
    This is a class act that builds and extends the Star Wars game franchise and PC gamers are getting something their kindred XBOX owners loved to bits and will not be disappointed in any way.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    I-Ninja
    It may not be the longest or more difficult game of its type, but it makes up for it by being a whole load of fun while it lasts.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    Project Gotham Racing 2
    A brilliant game for Xbox and Xbox Live!, quite possible the finest racing title ever created.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Whiplash
    The combination of puzzles and action fits well, whilst the level of humour certainly helps the game to gel with the player – although some may find the type of comedy a little low-brow.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Mario Kart: Double Dash!!
    Although the game is slightly disappointing on a couple of levels, the truth is its Mario Kart, who couldn't love it. The actual races are absolutely brilliant particularly in multiplayer, however the Battle Mode is surprisingly weak.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3
    If this is your type of game then Rainbow Six 3 won't disappoint, but if like us you're beginning to grow a little tired of these games then best to look elsewhere.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Legacy of Kain: Defiance
    For fans of the series this game is a must, it's the game that both "Soul Reaver 2" and "Blood Omen 2" should have been.
