    • Metascore: 68
    • Critic Score 70
    A good example of an arcade boxer done right, thanks to its wealth of gameplay modes, exhaustive list of fighters, and wildly fun, over-the-top gameplay.
    • Metascore: 65
    • Critic Score 70
    Solid, fun to play, and irritatingly addictive.
    • Metascore: 73
    • Critic Score 70
    A fine example of arcade-flavored supercross action done right.
    • Metascore: 62
    • Critic Score 70
    Although Hogs is far from state-of-the-art, it's definitely fun and worth a look if you want something different and smart.
    • Metascore: 55
    • Critic Score 70
    While certainly not a spectacular, original work of gaming art, The Grinch is a solidly done 3D platformer that effectively makes fun use of a well-known license.
    • Metascore: 67
    • Critic Score 70
    It's a beautiful looking piece of work, even if there is a modicum of slowdown from time to time due to the sheer amount of traffic on the screen.
    • Metascore: 85
    • Critic Score 70
    The players look and sound cartoony, with gigantic quadriceps and incredibly deep voices.
    • Metascore: 58
    • Critic Score 70
    As is the case with any good simulation, there are lots of details for the golf fan to tinker with.
    • Metascore: 84
    • Critic Score 70
    Despite the graphical shortcomings, Star Wars Episode I: Battle for Naboo offers some of the best shooter action on the Nintendo 64, especially now that the system is hurting for good titles.
    • Metascore: 77
    • Critic Score 70
    Simple, enemy-inhaling fun that's accessible but won't hold your attention for very long.
    • Metascore: 69
    • Critic Score 70
    The undersea environment it uses is appealing and fun to explore, especially since the open maps of the game facilitate fairly nonlinear exploration.
    • Metascore: 84
    • Critic Score 70
    A beautiful game that comes close to "classic" status, but doesn't quite deliver.
    • Metascore: 80
    • Critic Score 70
    A surprisingly solid game lies underneath the cute veneer, offering tight control and solid game design.
    • Metascore: 80
    • Critic Score 70
    A fun game, created around a fantastic concept; however, it's not quite the game fans would have wanted it to be.
    • Metascore: 79
    • Critic Score 70
    Dreamcast's affordable version of "Bust-A-Move 4" pushes the already great puzzle game to new heights.
    • Metascore: 57
    • Critic Score 70
    Marred by a dodgy interface, "Toy Story 2" nonetheless knows how to flex its might like a championship weightlifter.
    • Metascore: 76
    • Critic Score 70
    With controls that improve on the PSX version, tight graphics, more than ten levels, and plenty of lightsaber action, Jedi Power Battles has achieved Jedi Master status.
    • Metascore: 74
    • Critic Score 70
    Still contains all the white-knuckle, suspense-filled gameplay that made the PlayStation version so great. Don't go in expecting something extraordinary or new, because you won't find it here.
    • Metascore: 73
    • Critic Score 70
    There isn't much to complain about with Maze Madness, except that the game is short and easy.
    • Metascore: 71
    • Critic Score 70
    A light and fluffy offering that's just right for kids, albeit a bit too shallow for more mature gamers looking for a challenge.
    • Metascore: 66
    • Critic Score 70
    Offers solid arcade gameplay, but it lacks the depth of the made-for-console wrestling games.
    • Metascore: 62
    • Critic Score 70
    There is unquestionably some fun to be had in Spawn, but control and camera issues keep the game from realizing its full potential.
    • Metascore: 63
    • Critic Score 70
    Even though the lack of gun support takes away some of the appeal, Konami has done a commendable job of bringing the coin-op experience home.
    • Metascore: 74
    • Critic Score 70
    Multiplayer novelties aside, 4x4 offers a solid racing experience, even if the game is hampered a bit by some poorly designed night races and cruddy collision detection.
    • Metascore: 73
    • Critic Score 60
    Once the visual thrill and initial excitement passes, there is little here to draw you back for more.
    • Metascore: 76
    • Critic Score 60
    Even despite slight control problems, terrifyingly bad documentation, and console-style save points, there is still enough here to warrant that horror fans check it out.
