  • Summary: After less-than spectacular sales on its N64 version of the game, Koe's anti-terrorist action/adventure WinBack has returned on the PS2 to help make waiting for "Metal Gear Solid 2" a little easier.

    The new multi-player options and superb gameplay could actually keep you playing until MGS 2 in October. I've played precious few PS2 titles that are better, and Winback is certainly one of those games that will seem impossible to put down.

    This is a pretty good cake, albeit of a flavor you've probably never tried...I'd put Winback ahead of "X-Squad," on the strength of its better-thought-out gameplay and far longer mission (not to mention the replay value all the multiplayer modes add).

    Once mastered, the inventive gameplay mechanics have a way of becoming addictive, and the no-frills graphics get the job done.

    One of my favorite games of all time. I played the 64 version. Put so many hours into this game.
