There are much better things to spend one’s money on. Like root canals.

It’s fun in small doses, but frustrating whenever you try to get into it.

The gameplay is alternately fun and frustrating, the graphics are both striking and stilted, and the sound... No, the sound’s laughably bad all the way through.

The game falls short of putting you in the cockpit. The whole idea of a dogfight is non-existent. The enemy crafts move too quickly, abandoning any thought of pursuit.

Too short and on the easy side.

For the already initiated, the new levels aren’t even worth a rental and getting used to skating with the Xbox controller can be like getting used to a splinter in your eye.

A few secret characters, some more levels and a greater variety of techniques for each character would have made this an A+ title.

The graphics are amazing, but it’s the gameplay that will win you over.

Weak graphics and shallow gameplay aren’t much incentive to continue playing.

The shoddy AI compensates for the game’s substandard targeting system.

There's nothing wrong with 80's cartoons, and this strange hybrid of snowboarding and adventure is actually pretty fun, despite its shortcomings. Sometimes, two great tastes really do taste great together.

Dead on, sporting nearly every feature that made the original game so great.

Although Capcom vs. SNK 2 doesn’t break any new ground, there is enough depth here to keep any 2D fighting game fan happy.

The only way to be entertained by this game is to throw it in the microwave and watch it spark.

All bloodthirsty primal tendencies aside, the game remains shallow. The storyline is weak and incoherent.

The lackluster gameplay combined with mediocre graphics and poor sound make it a title worth staying far away from.

Say hello to one of the finest PS2 games yet, and the best snowboarding game ever.

With intuitive control, superb graphics, and a catchy soundtrack, Splashdown is an excellent Jet Ski racing game.

Offers a heady, elating sense of flight, adrenaline-charged combat, perfect controls, and breathtaking visuals that will humble titles played even on the mightiest PCs.

Despite the control flaws and graphic blemishes this game is a marvelous presentation of soccer, albeit slightly watered down for the masses.

More appealing than the original.

If you really go for the flavor of early-90’s style graphics and gameplay, and if you have the patience of a rock, then by all means enter and be saved. As for us skeptics, it will take a lot more than nostalgia to win our faith.

It has a few nagging flaws like the lack of a good third-person view or in-menu loading screens, but it is playable and should keep motocross fans busy.

Everything to love from the first two Tony Hawk games is back, along with more outrageous levels and more outrageous combos thanks to the revert trick.

The strong multiplayer establishes Bomberman Online as a worthwhile purchase. Though the story mode is challenging, once finished, there is little incentive to continue play.

Tennis 2K2’s solid gameplay and impressive presentation prove that the Dreamcast still has some steam behind it.

Little more than "NBA 2K1" with Michael Jordan, the Memphis Grizzlies, glitchy zone defense and an afterthought of a street ball mode.

Anyone looking for a hardcore flight sim should look elsewhere (preferably at a PC). This here's arcade action all the way, but it does that one thing extremely well.
