Delivers on every level -- gameplay, graphics, sound and, especially, originality. Greedy as we are, we can only complain that there isn't even more goodness.

Both the graphics and the driving model are spot-on, but the game is also full of great new ideas, like a time of day setting that corresponds to the internal clock of the Dreamcast, a fictitious car stereo that lets you "make your own CDs" and a brilliant point system.

The Bottom Line: Brilliant.

We know it sounds weird and wild, but trust us, once you see the game in action you'll almost understand why it has, at times, totally dominated not only the Daily Radar office, but that of our parent company Imagine media as a whole.

This is the most beautiful fighting game ever to grace a home console.

Easily the most realistic, and definitely one of the most fun, fighting games to ever come along.

Although almost ridiculously simple, "Virtua Tennis" is more addictive than chocolate-coated, sugar-frosted crack.

Perfectly walking the line between arcade racer and sim, it delivers fantastic, deep, engrossing racing action without the endless twiddling of a sim or the ridiculous control of an arcade racer. There are no weapons or powerups, either.

Nothing on Dreamcast comes close to matching this game in terms of action and fun.

UT fares better than "Quake III" in three of the categories: lag, amount of people allowed to play and levels.

Sega GT is a nearly perfect racing simulation that offers hundreds of cars, dozens of options and weeks of deep gameplay.

With a ton of options, gorgeous graphics running at consistently high framerates and plenty of tracks to choose from, the few niggling problems (like online lag and touchy controls) seem to slip away into meaningless babble in the heat of a close race.

Even players who aren't die-hard fans of the shooter genre will enjoy the game, if they give it a little time to grow on them.

With near-perfect control, a great new hip-hop soundtrack, several new characters that weren't in "Double Impact" (including perennial favorite Chun Li) and the best 2D animation we've ever seen in a fighting game, this game is certainly the business.

Those who haven't already bought a copy of it should promptly have their heads examined.

Smoother than The Glide, bigger than The Diesel and cooler than The Iceman, NBA 2K1 is as about as good as basketball gets.

So vastly improved over its predecessor that it easily wrests away the title of "Best Football Videogame of All Time" and easily scores a direct hit.

The MOST FUN 2D fighter game of all time.

For those with the drive and the patience, though, Superbike 2001 is, hands down, the best motorcycle simulator available for the PC.

The multiplayer won't hold most people's interest for more than a few rounds, but the creative level design as well as the minigames will keep most platform fans munching to the end.

There are a few problems -- namely save points, the sometimes quirky interface and the occasional awkward control -- but as a whole, The Devil Inside is fun and stylish.

A goofy, amusing third-person game that captures the essence of the original and builds on it, managing to stay true to the first while breaking free and providing plenty of fresh adventure.

Arguably the PC strategy game of the year to beat.

It's a must have for casual WWII air buffs and the hardcore as well, and fortunately has the distinction of being well worth having.

Even provides an excellent FPS experience for those who may not wear their pointy rubber ears to bed at night like we do.

It's just a great tactical exercise for strategy gamers of any rank.

The single biggest change made to MechWarrior is in speed. Gone are the days of slow, plodding robots.

A blast to play. The game oozes style in the same way that "Space Channel 5" did, and the control scheme uses the dual sticks of the PS2 controller better than anything since "Ape Escape."
