Critic Score 80
A stunning sci-fi-themed shooter that makes "Halo" look hollow. [Feb 2004, p.80] -
-
-
Critic Score 80
The new focus on transportation adds substantially to an already excellent game experience. -
-
-
Critic Score 80
The world feels less generic and more immersive than even "Morrowind's." [Feb 2004, p.88] -
-
-
Critic Score 80
Square took the best things about single-player console RPGs and applied them to an MMO - a world densely populated by talkative NPCs, interesting, well-conceived quests, and a whole lot of visual gloss. [Feb 2004, p.84] -
-
-
Critic Score 80
Dynamic plot twists and cut-scenes flow through every exotic locale, and the later-game mechanical conundrums are worthy of the Broken Sword series. [Feb 2004, p.86] -
-
-
Critic Score 80
It's somewhat strange that Tribunal, the first official expansion, is so confining. [Mar 2003, p.96] -
-
-
Critic Score 80
The addition of werewolves is interesting, but the implementation isn't very exciting. [Sept 2003, p.96] -
-
-
Critic Score 80
This game's perpetually unnerving ambience, interesting puzzles, and unique ghost story may very well help you forgive its graphical flaws. [Nov 2003, p.129] -
-
-
Critic Score 80
There are only minimal changes to the broader strokes of gameplay. [Sept 2003, p.90] -
-
-
Critic Score 80
SOU is perhaps the funniest fantasy-RPG I've ever played... One of those expansions that make the original game pale in comparison. [Sept 2003, p.94] -
-
-
Critic Score 80
Blizzard delivered as promised, and then some. But I wasn't floored. Not even close. [Sept 2002, p.70] -
-
-
Critic Score 80
If you're a military sim gamer who's looking for endless hours of action devoid of strategy or tactics, then this is your game. [June 2003, p.84] -
-
-
Critic Score 80
The most remarkable aspect of Disciples II is how carefully all of the units have been balanced. [May 2002, p.82] -
-
-
Critic Score 80
Perhaps the best part of living the life of a celebrity is the luxuries--spa treatments, sushi dinners, and a butler await you in Superstar. [Aug 2003, p.87] -
-
-
Critic Score 80
The newly redone character models are quite detailed, and the sound, with whizzing bullets and explosions adding real tension, is fantastic. [Aug 2003, p.76] -
-
-
Critic Score 80
Easily the best implementation of a major comic-book character in a game yet... Finally, a game that lets you club your enemies with other enemies. [Sept 2003, p.98] -
-
-
Critic Score 80
Easily the best new adventure game in years, though it loses some steam after its outstanding first act. [Oct 2002, p.112] -
-
-
Critic Score 80
A surprisingly solid game. The richly detailed, unique level design will surprise you if you have preconceived notions of side-scrollers. [Sept 2002, p.90] -
-
-
Critic Score 80
Even the friendly A.I. does a much better job of fighting and surviving. There are still some interface problems, but Command & Conquer is better than it's ever been. -
-
-
Critic Score 80
With all the action and unlockable DVD-like special features, this is not only a good game that drags you right into the movie, it's also a fantastic supplement for die-hard Rings fans. [Feb 2004, p.70] -
-
-
Critic Score 80
There are at least three or four games lurking in Europa 1400: The Guild, each of them enjoyable and addictive. [May 2003, p.93] -
-
-
Critic Score 80
Brings more than 175 new enchanted items, which alone justifies the purchase. These special objects can take care of the less-pleasant chores in your life, leaving you free to pursue personal happiness. -
-
-
Critic Score 80
Bad A.I. and no realism, but who cares? The nonstop rat-a-tat-tat of automatic weapons in hostile environments gives Team Sabre its charm. [Apr 2004, p.91] -
-
-
Critic Score 80
A beautiful RTS with solid single- and multiplayer gameplay. What more can you ask for? [Oct 2004, p.76] -
-
-
Critic Score 80
The only real bummer in the new stuff? The M-60 machine gun, which is so powerful and easy to use that it lets even blundering newbies rack up ridiculously high frag counts. It needs tuning down. -
-
-
Critic Score 80
Honestly expands upon the original with four new campaigns that provide the absorbing single-player experience the original lacked. Unfortunately, some stability problems keep it from being perfect. -
-
-
Critic Score 80
Where Bloodlines really shines is in the world it creates, a nightmarish hell lurking just beneath the seedy surface of nighttime Los Angeles. [Feb 2005, p.82] -
-
-
Critic Score 80
Takes the original game, upgrades it slightly, expands its cope, and adds and editor. Put together, it's a pretty good package. [Feb 2004, p.91] -
-
-
Critic Score 80
An epic strategy game for conquerors who want more than just the standard RTS. [Aug 2005, p.86] -
-
-
Critic Score 80
It definitely packs some solid gameplay that sci-fi fans are sure to dig. [Feb 2004, p.76] -
