Critic Score 65
Awful sound, and graphics (although mostly sharp) that were contrived and dull, 4x4 Evo isn't nearly as technically sound as it should've been. -
-
-
Critic Score 65
The beauty of Jade Cocoon 2 is impressive but much like a supermodel, when you site down to actually get to know it, there's not much substance underneath all the pretty packaging. -
-
-
-
Critic Score 65
Hardcore fans will love the action and the realism, but casual gamers just looking for action-packed racing fun may want to look elsewhere. -
-
-
Critic Score 65
Once you begin to see some of the same puzzles present itself, and the soundtrack begins to chafe, you will probably begin to lose interest, but that doesn't mean you should avoid this title. As a matter of fact, the game can get quite addictive. -
-
-
Critic Score 65
It's not like playing 18-Wheeler isn't fun; it is. The problem is that it's over far too quickly and doesn't compare well to "Crazy Taxi" in terms of variety and replayability. -
-
-
Critic Score 65
While visually diverting, Okage is only slightly above average overall. -
-
-
Critic Score 65
It’s depth will hook hardcore racing fans, but its difficult AI will have mostly everyone else frustrated. -
-
-
Critic Score 65
Sim junkies will be totally captivated by its career mode, and if you can get past this games technical woes, you'll have a great time playing. -
-
-
Critic Score 65
This game just does not cut it for the PS2, hopefully this year's edition will be a building block for the developers to come up with a solid football game. -
-
-
Critic Score 65
If this were an actual NFL season, Madden 2003’s record would be 14-2, NFL 2K3 would be 13-3, and GameDay 2003 would squeak by into the virtual football playoffs as a wildcard with an 9-7 record. -

-
Critic Score 65
Heavy Iron gets much respect from me for making this such an authentic Scooby-Doo videogame. -
-
-
Critic Score 65
This game is basically made for the DBZ fans out there than don't mind putting up with some sub-par gameplay as long as they get to play as their favorite DBZ characters. -
-
-
Critic Score 60
Suffers tremendously because of the control issues. Without the sniper rifle peripheral that made the arcade game a joy, Silent Scope is only a game that entertains in a brief, arcade-y way. -
-
-
Critic Score 60
A competent four-player track and field game. What more do you want? Great gameplay? Stunning originality? Customizable button setups? A PS2 with four default controller ports? You won't get those. -
-
-
Critic Score 60
It's the best pool title you can get on any system right now... In the end, the question you have to ask yourself is, will I really spend enough time with this game to warrant a $50 purchase? -
-
-
-
Critic Score 60
The thrill of dodging missiles and gunfire coming at you from every direction, then retaliating with a few missiles of your own and watching their plastic bodies blow rarely gets old. -
-
-
Critic Score 60
Sub par game physics and the no-skill-needed-to-play is a huge turn off. And graphically only an average title that would have looked great on the PSOne. -
-
-
Critic Score 60
It blends military vehicular action with RPG elements and manages to pull it off fairly well. -
-
-
Critic Score 60
A good story and simple control can't make up for a serious lack of depth, mediocre graphics, and a camera that gets more annoying as time goes on. -
-
-
Critic Score 60
There isn’t much fun to be found in the game despite its solid gameplay mechanics. -
-
-
Critic Score 60
This is the epitome of the "rental title," you'll be returning it at the perfect time. You'll not only have finished most of the modes, but you'll be pretty sick of it by then too. -
-
-
Critic Score 60
Quite disappointing. It's choppy framerate, second rate graphics, and bland textures affect both gameplay and fun factor. These characters have character, and it simply doesn't show up on the PS2 version. -
-
-
Critic Score 60
Unfortunately, frustrating AI, boring course variety, and uninspired tricks give this game a slightly above average, generic feel. -
-
-
Critic Score 55
Ambitious in construction and theory, but lacking in overall gameplay and entertainment value, Reign of Fire limps half-heartedly to the finish line. -
-
-
Critic Score 55
Why should I buy this game for $50 when I can go down the street to a bar and spend the same amount of time for about $49.25 less? -
-
-
Critic Score 55
The second-best simulation basketball game for the PS2, but it's a far cry from "NBA Live 2001." -
-
-
Critic Score 55
The game has it's moments, but for every one thing that it does right, it manages to do three other things wrong. -
-
-
Critic Score 55
There is more bad than good here. Just when the game starts to become tolerable, something poor comes along to rain on the parade. -
-
-
-
Critic Score 55
The game was presented as an action/adventure flight game when it really fits in as more of a limited no frills flight sim. -
-
-
Critic Score 55
A bit too much like its NFL brother, this game does little to simulate the college experience. -
-
-
-
-
Critic Score 55
Despite a unique story concept, it sounds better on paper than in practice. While far from embarrassing, EF is embarrassingly average. -
-
-
Critic Score 55
Having fun is great, but the rest of the package isn't as alluring as a sparkling new PS2 title should be. -
-
-
Critic Score 55
While some hardcore gameplay fans may appreciate the purity of this experience, the plot and lack of characters is so glaring, I find it hard to believe even so-called "hardcore gamers" won't find it annoying. -
-
-
Critic Score 55
The game's visual bugs, familiar gameplay, and suspect framerate make this game seem more like a devolution. -
-
-
Critic Score 55
With only a superb soundtrack as its savior, Mad Trix ends up being a sad mix of bad control, horrible sound effects and awkward camera angles. -
-
-
Critic Score 55
It's solid and has a ton of dungeon crawling. But don't expect the story to still be percolating in your mind six months after you finish. -
-
-
Critic Score 55
A fun-but-imperfect bout of pigskin tossing to be had here. It has lotsa teams and a good college feel too. -
-
-
Critic Score 50
Unbalanced characters, cheap AI, and ugly graphics mar this game to the point that its' not even worth trying out. -
-
-
Critic Score 50
If somehow, you are able to master the terrible control, perhaps having fun with ESPN is a possibility, though I doubt it. -
-
-
Critic Score 50
Final Four does contain a few innovations, but it comes up short in every way possible. -
-
-
Critic Score 50
Had the control scheme been less complex and easier to learn, that would have gone a long way toward fixing the problems. -
-
-
-
Critic Score 50
It’s got some decent control (albeit with a few quirky cameras), and a whole lot of potential, but I saw none of the flash that it should’ve had. -
-
-
Critic Score 50
What made Treyarch’s "Spider-Man" engine so special was its versatility. In MR, most of the versatility was taken away by simply focusing on the fighting aspect, giving the game a repetitive feel to it throughout its 40 levels. -
-
-
Critic Score 50
Try it out if you must, but don't blame me if you PS2 ends up flying out your bedroom window. Mine almost did. -
-
-
Critic Score 50
There are so many profane adjectives that could be used to describe this horrid title but I’ll try to keep it to a minimum. -
-
-
Critic Score 50
A serviceable platform title that will fill the "I want, I want" need of younger gamers who fell in love with the movie. -
-
-
Critic Score 50
It doesn't offer anything that excites me over the other versions except for a few new arenas and weapons, but do those small extras warrant a purchase? Of course not. -
-
-
Critic Score 45
Although it does have some neat elements, such as being able to play as the bad guy and several spell elements, it doesn't make up for the lack of texture quality, as well as the shaky framerate and bad camera. -
-
-
Critic Score 45
It's just the mediocrity of everything - the story, voice acting, character development, plot progression, translation, combat system - that make it an average gaming experience. -
-
-
Critic Score 45
The grappling system is decent, but grows weary soon enough. And considering how much the success of professional wrestling depends on the showmanship of its combatants, the game delivers a pretty bland experience. -
-
-
Critic Score 45
Lacking in the depth that even arcade-style fans look for, the only strength of the game is in its unique fish-landing interface, which is very PS2-centric. -
-
-
Critic Score 45
In a field of its own somewhere near the bottom of the bottomless gaming abyss. -
-
-
Critic Score 45
They toss some gore and sex into the mix and hope to distract us from the fact that it’s a really average action-adventure game. -
-
-
Critic Score 45
With poor design, few "levels" and frustrating gameplay, there’s not a lot here to praise. -
-
-
Critic Score 45
The level design is uninspired, the controls ... well don't, and the game's sense of speed is nonexistent. -
-
-
Critic Score 45
This easily pales in comparison next to "Z.O.E." or "Armored Core 2," and I'm not interested in spending more time with it. -
-
-
Critic Score 45
Underneath the silver lining of good graphics and bunches of options lies seriously flawed gameplay that ultimately ruins the experience. -
-
-
Critic Score 45
The sum of its parts are overshadowed by low production values, shallow story, lacking gameplay structure, and poor character development. -
-
-
Critic Score 40
Lifeless and mundane "hits," atrocious control, impossible scoring, non-existent defense and offense set-ups, and jerky, flawed replays that happened WAY too fast, and you've got a game that is seriously lacking in the gameplay category. -
-
-
Critic Score 40
A nagging generic sameness that, despite a wonderful localization, robs the game of any joy in playing it. -
-
-
-
Critic Score 40
The promising foundation is very nearly forgotten due to a rickety structure atop it. Regardless of whether or not you’ve watched the movies, chances are, you’ll be disappointed with this one. -
-
-
Critic Score 40
Has problems galore, most noticeably in the controls, and to be perfectly frank: it’s just not fun to play. -
-
-
Critic Score 40
Not only is it bland, simplistic, and limited, but the technical problems it has makes this game virtually unplayable. -
-
-
Critic Score 40
Not many people will be entertained enough to see the game through to the end, mainly because the bad control will cause you to snap your controller in two. -
-
-
Critic Score 40
WDL War Jetz falls well short in its bid for great arcade flight fun, and although easily controllable and fairly simple, it's barely a rental. -
-
-
Critic Score 35
The gameplay is leaps and bounds ahead of the game's graphical prowess, but then, that's probably not saying too much, now is it? -
-
-
Critic Score 35
This game should be avoided by all means. A complete game engine overhaul is much needed, along with a graphics engine rework, better and less repetitious dialogue. -
-
-
-
Critic Score 35
Some of the worst gameplay I've ever had the misfortune of laying eyes on, and the entire look and feel of the game is seriously lacking. -
-
-
Critic Score 35
The characters are stiff and look almost mechanical in their movement. The character response time isn't all the great either. Most of all, SFEX3 lacks any type of fun factor. I can't recommend this game to even the most die-hard SF fan. -
-
-
Critic Score 35
Until next year, avoid the weak gameplay, shoddy animation, and disappointing graphics. Stick to meaty, mighty, Madden. -
-
-
Critic Score 30
The entire game will most likely leave most gamers (not just basketball fans) feeling disgusted. -
-
-
Critic Score 30
A big mess from top to bottom. The graphics are fine, but everything else needed a gigantic overhaul worse than a Chevy Corvair. -
-
-
Critic Score 30
The type of game that makes people claim PS2 is all about graphics and no gameplay. With no career mode, no WCW/ECW stars and an incredibly shallow Story Mode, there's simply NO reason to even rent this game. -
-
-
Critic Score 25
If you're desperate for a surfer on your PS2, you are better off wallowing in that desperation, alone in bed, and shivering violently, as H30 will do more bad for you than good. -
-
-
Critic Score 25
The track editor adds lots of replay value, but when the base game is so uninspiring there's not much of a point. -
