Don't forget to bring your patience though because Maximo's poorly implemented camera system, semi-cheap enemy placement at the end of jumps, and save system may be the difference between you liking this game, and you hating this game.

Could have been a better racer had the framerate not stopped at key points in the game and also if the game had a little more replay value.

A more complete gameplay model with refined controls could have made this racing title of the launch, excluding "SSX" of course.

Maybe my expectations were set so low that there was nowhere to go but up the scale, but I truly found myself enjoying the gameplay. It was a relief to play a Star Wars title that made fun of itself before I could.

This is a curiously addictive game, and with the various modes offered, you'll be busy hauling bass and making a name for yourself in no time. Just don't forget to grow out those sideburns.

A solid videogaming experience and one that, for a relatively inexperienced American public, is well worth trying out. Die-hard fans of the sport will be a tad disappointed with a number of aspects.

The game is fun for a limited amount of time, but due to its lack of depth and lackluster at best multi-player mode, you will probably not find yourself playing this game whole a helluva lot once that initial excitement wears off.

UFC fans should be more than satisfied. It’s not as polished as I would’ve liked, and the depth is somewhat hindered by overly similar modes of play.

For being button-masher friendly and suffering from uninspiring Career and Tournament modes, the game still somehow manages to end up as a rather top-notch boxer.

Weak story mode and ear damaging sound are the only minuses in the game, but these can be considered major categories.

A solid game, but I just wish it brought more to the genre as far as originality.

It's not the giant that its characters are, but it is a pretty big fish that should be checked out, by rental at least.

Strategy games are never meant to be flashy or hectic, but if they become too slow and complicated for the sake of being complicated…well, then we have a problem. Dynasty Tactics walks a very fine line here, and luckily, does not fall into the aforementioned abyss.

Highly original and addictive, .hack is more interesting than most of the MOM-RPGs the game attempts to simulate.

It’s incredibly fun, and incredibly addicting. It’s just too bad that the camera system is incredibly flawed.

The non-stop action can get a bit repetitive and ultimately tiresome, and the sound effects may begin to wear on the nerves after a few hours of playing.

Great graphics, good sound, mediocre gameplay. We were soooo close.

I really enjoyed Gungrave. I was able to come to terms with it’s short play length and old school simplicity, but I understand that this game might not pack enough staying power to warrant the $50 price tag.

If you're sucked in to the experience, you will find that there's plenty to do; cars to customize and challengers to crush. Although some may find it cumbersome and repetitive, the idea is sound, and the game comes out fairly clean in the end.

If the game had been more realistic, it actually would’ve been easier. No Stuntman will do some of these scenes and expect to survive...jumping onto and through a train? Nor would they do so many stunts in one take.

Due to the sheer difficulty, it's actually only for a select few.

The graphics are excellent, the replays are amazing, the gameplay is solid, and even though the sound is sub-par, it's definitely worth a rent for racing fans.

Somehow Remedy Entertainment made the PS2 look like an old man when compared to the new console and the tried and true personal computer.

It's a simple, colorful, cute, but undeniably addictive puzzler that's wonderful for the times when a heavy game with a steep learning curve will put off the casuals in the room.

With solid graphics, solid sound, plus an astute use of the Rayman 2 engine, UbiSoft can chalk up a definite rental that should really be bought by any platform fan.

Most definitely in the same vein as other EA Sports titles like "FIFA 2001" and "NHL 2001," but nowhere near the almost perfect stature of "Madden 2001."

While not quite "EA-like," Triple Play is a good, upbeat baseball game with realistic, engaging gameplay.

A quality production that doesn't deserve to be lost in the shuffle, but it lacks the length, revolutionary aspects, and overall appeal and shine to make it a true contender.
