With a lot of creativity, Sonic Team has taken the boardgame to the digital age, and made a fun, sometimes frustrating board game that is a lot more than throwing some dice and moving around a rectangle.

In spite of myself, I really liked this game. It's really reminiscent of "Track and Field" -- the old arcade game -- only more complete and much better looking.

The translation from idea to reality was apparently too much for the poor thing, and it falls far short of expectations.

This is more like a Japanese version of "Gone With the Wind" than a videogame.

It's worth playing, and will definitely give you ten or so hours of gameplay goodness -- but it may also give you ten or so hours of technical difficulty.

Grand, beautiful, addictive chaos.

Hardcore arcade shooter fans will love RayCrisis:ST, but everyone else should just consider it for a rent when they need to veg out and watch the pretty colors go by.

Challenge your friends to catch Blue Marlins! Just don't expect anything deep out of this game. That was a pun. Laugh, dammit! LAUGH!

Probably doomed to fade away in a slow, possibly unnoticeable, manner.

To my disappointment, the sequel didn't turn out as cool as the first one, but it's still an addictive game with most of the characters that fans of the original have come to know and lust, er, love.

A new type of Tomb Raider, but when stripped down, it's the same old same old. Fortunately, the same old same old is still plenty fun.

With the small roster and lack of modes, this one is probably best as a rental and not a purchase, but it is a good way to waste away a weekend.

It's WAY too hard to figure out what you're supposed to do.

If you're not into giant robots blastin' the crap out of things, skip it.

I would have liked to have seem damaged panels and broken glass everywhere after you rammed your opponent; no such luck, however.

It's virtually identical to the previously released "Street Fighter III: Double Impact!"

I found the "pixel hunting" very frustrating. Many times, in order to select a unit for action, I had to position the cursor in EXACTLY the right position.

There are some really good points to the game, but also some really bad things to go along.

If you want a little more meat to your games, or hate games that purposefully kill you off right when you're getting to the good part, then maybe you'd better skip this one.

There's a pretty decent and engaging game underneath all of the problems, but it's a fair chore to make your way down to it.

Sequelitis! Get your sequelitis here!

If you love vehicular combat or Star Wars, give Demolition a rent. Otherwise, scrape this mynock off the hull of your freighter.

The story that drives everything along comes across splotchy and haphazard.

Patience and timing are really the only way to get through either of these games.

For all the good things about the game, this was about as much fun as playing pin the tail on the really angry linebacker for the Oakland Raiders.

I still wouldn't buy this game, but if given a choice of rentals, I'd pick the DC version of Sydney 2000 over the PlayStation version.

The blandest and most underacheiving sports game I've ever played in my life.

If this curve continues, Volume 4 will retroactively suck the life from the franchise.
