The controllers are, for me and apparently everybody else, the only real weakness of this game.

"Redemption" surpassed the hype. I love this game.

Although you may find yourself feeling bored with the repetitiveness of the game at some points, you'll certainly have a good time getting there.

There's so much fun to be had in finding new moves, beating your own scores, and trying to land a cool combo that you'll find yourself overlooking the problems and just playing, enjoying the occasional crash landing and forgetting what time it is.

This is the "Jet Moto" or "Wipeout" of the PS2 launch -- a rare game that makes driving a hell of a lot of fun.

Beautiful sprite-based graphics and an interesting experience system offset a confusing story and bland battles in this retelling of the tale of Ryu.

If you're looking for a story to unravel over 40+ hours and you don't mind wading through a few dungeons, you'll love Lunar 2. This is one classic that deserves the name.

If you enjoyed "Parasite Eve," be prepared for something different -- better in gameplay, but maybe not as classy in story.

While diehard Trekkies might be miffed, casual fans and space shooter freaks will love Invasion.

"You made me love you, I didn't want to do it, I didn't want to do it."

Despite its flaws, Quake III on the Dreamcast is probably the best FPS game on any console, with the possible exception of the almighty "Goldeneye."

Hardcore sim fans may find it a little weak, but if you've ever wanted to get into combat sim games but were turned off by the complexity, this is the game for you!

"Armored Core 2" is a love-it-or-hate-it kind of game, and once you're hooked, you're hooked for life.

The best action/adventure-style game in the PS2 launch, so if you're looking for a beat-em-up with depth, DW2 is your game.

Get past the dead genre and you'll laugh until your brain bleeds.

The multiple endings gives this title a very high replay value ensuring that you'll see more of the beautiful artwork.

Once you do get the hang of it, though, the graphics, gameplay, and sounds make for one kick-ass driving experience.

Doesn't quite beat the master (Tony Hawk), but it's still an ass-kickingly fun gaming experience.

It really feels like you're doing a death defying high wire act. You WILL get dizzy - guaranteed - it's that immersive.

Two areas where Sega's game SLAUGHTERS Sony's ("Gran Turismo 2") -- depth and graphics.

"MDK2" may take you a while to finish. A long while. The game is difficult, to say the least.

The most important thing, though, is that Raven seems to have actually made the world of Star Trek: Voyager -- dare I say it? -- fun; an impressive task in and of itself.

It's a great game for what it does, but not everyone's going to enjoy watching polygonal people do stupid stuff on a bike.

Simplistic, annoying, and suffers from quirky controls and poor audio. It's also a hell of a lot of fun to play.

It's the lack of single-player fun that really keeps this title out of the 90+ range -- but if you're looking for a great splitscreen FPS to play with your pals, this is the one to get.

While this latest chapter in the acclaimed series doesn't offer much in the innovation department, it's a quality product, a lot of fun to play and has obvious replayability value.

Incredible Crisis redefines the term "goofy-ass."

While the graphics tend to be blocky, with lots of texture-warping, the angular shading the artists used is damn cool.
