This is the single most impressive piece of software the PS2 has seen since "GTA3." Where the Rockstar game innovated in its style of play Frontline innovates in the perfection of its execution. We’ve seen first-person shooters before, but nothing like this. Nothing as superbly crafted as this.

Minor niggles aside, Muppet Pinball Mayhem is a good solid pinball simulation, that should keep you flipping away for a long, long time.

Any title that can be completed in a couple of hours, and whose final level can be completed by merely holding right and pressing jump occasionally is regardless of whether you like ponies, not worth the £30 asked.

Nothing here is unexpectedly outstanding, but this game certainly comes in on par.

Sure it’s not massively original but it is a new sport, there are some very nice ideas in there and it’s great fun to play.

Fast and fun, but not one for the hardcore who expect balanced play mechanics as a matter of, ahem, course.

For all this complexity the cards can actually prevent you from really getting into the game.

A plodding beast of a wrestling game that’s been made even worse by the fact that the PS2-to-GC conversion process has rendered it almost unplayable.

One giant leap for GBA visual design, hardly a tip-toe for platforming gameplay.

But chopping realistic arms off of realistic zombies soon loses its appeal, and it’s not long before Hunter becomes a bore to play.

The only downside to Night Of 100 Frights is the sheer lack of originality and so-so difficulty level.

Lightweight footie fans will love VS3 for its accessibility; footie nuts will love it for its attention to detail and near perfect gameplay.

The best Moto GP game we’ve seen on any system.

Sure, you can punish them all you want or play ball with them, but soon it all becomes rather too monotonous and, most importantly, you really don't care when the little freaks kick the bucket.

It’s fun but, existing in the half-world between dimensions, it fails to satisfy either the lust for old fashioned action or the flexibility of the modern gamer.

Add to this some slightly suspect enemy AI and a series of horribly misguided cut-scenes (these attempt to ape the dark humour of Robocop and fail) and you’ve got a fairly mediocre release.

It’s this ‘just one more go’ addiction that the very best classic puzzle games thrive on, but ZooCube sadly seems to lack.

Quite a challenge to control, with his Sonic-style attacks, and many acrobatic skills.

From a pure enjoyment standpoint, Jedi Starfighter is incredibly sterile and lacking any of the feeling and fantasy that the Star Wars series offers – plus it’s virtually a carbon copy of the last one.

For Britney fans the inclusion of exclusive unlockable DVD footage will make this a must-have. As for everyone else there are far better (and cheaper) examples of the genre on the market which we suggest you check out first.

We'd recommend getting the GBA version instead.

Relies a little too heavily on the creativity, imagination – and popularity – of the licence, without adding much in terms of innovative gameplay. However, for younger gamers, it is a simple and enjoyable game, and a perfectly pleasant walk with the dinosaurs.

This is a fantastic game and is worth buying, but don’t be surprised when it burns out of replay value a month down the line.

You MUST experience Resident Evil. Swoon at the graphics, cringe at the gore and prepare your nerves for the ride of their lives.

The PS2 game is gorgeous enough as it, but the extra processing power, graphical trickery and superior control mechanism have done wonders for Criterion's racer.

Cumbersome at the best of times, it takes a lot more effort on the player’s part than it should to control the ball as they would wish. Not good for a fast-paced sports title.

If you’re after the best PS2 football game on the market then you’ll have to look elsewhere. If however, you’re simply hankering for a game that will mimic the forthcoming World Cup then this is worth investigating.

A lazy PS2 port. Make no mistake this is a perfectly decent piece of software, but when you handed over your cash for the Xbox you probably weren’t expecting to be playing hand-me-downs from a machine significantly less powerful.
