    If they had done something about the AI and given more feedback during pausing, there's a fair old chance that The Art of War would have upped its score to win our Highly Recommended accolade.

    One of the most important reason[s] that Dungeon Siege is such an improvement over its action RPG predecessors is that the interface is just downright perfect.

    Essentially, if you want to improve your chess and bring a competitive edge to it, this is the ideal pocket edition to carry round with you. The only complaint – and it’s a substantial one – is the lack of a save facility.

    What it lacks is the elegance of the original design.

    A game about nothing...a dungeon crawl so formulaic as to be forgettable.

    The PC can support insanely high resolutions that put even the Xbox to shame. The frame rate is better on the PC, as well.

    With the bugs fixed and the gameplay tweaked and polished, Superpower could be pretty decent. At the moment, it's disappointing.

    If you're the type to enjoy that style of gameplay, we're honour-bound to point out "Super Smash Brothers: Melee," a superior game in about all aspects, and with infinitely more to do.

    A definite step-forward for fans of Ghost Recon...However if you found problems with the original title, particularly in its engine limitations, then don't expect these to have disappeared.

    It takes the best of "Jedi Knight" and superpowers it with well thought out Force powers, excellent level design, fiendish and boggling puzzles and simply magnificent lightsaber fights.

    Luckily, the game is designed to be open-ended enough to let you explore multiple ways in overcoming a problem, leading to a sense of discovery and freedom, again something not typical of first-person shooters.
    • 55 Metascore

    Not quite an ambitious failure, and not a qualified success either, the game pays the price for falling between the stools of arcade adventurousness and simulation seriousness.

    With versatile server options allowing operators with a dedicated machine to run a variety of servers, the potential is there for massive success over the net. We're more than happy to recommend it to you heartily.

    It's a pity the game is so linear, because the game does look great, atmospherically set in the style of the Thief series, and the character is gloriously evil, thoroughly powerful and malefic.

    In terms of other improvements, On Holiday really doesn't seem to have made any thrilling leaps or advancements...Overall, a great expansion.

    The game is a romp through 60s superhero cliches, mixed with excellent gameplay and a flexible character development system. Fantastic stuff.
    • 58 Metascore

    It has too many defects and omissions.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The unyielding linear story, the decidedly average puzzles and the ease with which you sail through the levels will ensure that it gathers dust on your shelf after the first play.

    Boring...plain as an old Rich Tea biscuit, and just as dry.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    The game does really offer some great gaming moments, addictive hard-to-put down levels and some great boss fights.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Superior graphics...but its poor interface, repetitious campaign modes and unchallenging AI has relegated it to just another also-ran.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    If you can get past the irritating introductory cutscenes and if you don't mind all-pervading cuteness, there's a depth available to plumb, and fans of micro-management will be in heaven.

    If you want to feel like you have control over the game, can overlook some dated graphics and a poor viewing angle, then NBA 2K2 is just about the best basketball game on the market.

    If you're impatient, have bad carpal tunnel syndrome, or just never got that whole hand-eye coordination thing down, this probably isn't the game for you.
    • 94 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A smashing game that has a life span as long as your Grandma's...[but] it's far too deep, complex and frustrating at first for instant hit bruisers to get their thrills from.

    Graphically and sonically, the game does wonders for GBA. It’s clear and beautiful to look at – even in quite dimly lit play areas.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Even the parodic nature that was attempted here falls flat after a couple plays, leaving you with a husk of a game that could have been great.

    A great kid's game and will amuse gamers with some musical knowledge or puzzle game addiction.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The game is severely crippled by awkward controls, inexplicable design decisions, and arcade-like sequences that reveals way too much about how to breeze though the twelve brief missions.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    By inherently alienating new players in combining two genres, and then providing too little incentive to win over RTS vets, the game becomes more of an upgrade for fans of the franchise, who want to control new races and explore some of the new features.
