Gran Turismo 2 Average Customer Review: CD-ROM (27 December, 1999) list price: $19.99 US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France Features Reviews (227)
Well, if you LOVE cars and get off on racing them, this game will be tons of fun for you. Vastly expanded from the original Gran Turismo, GT2 employs practically any car you can think of---from throwback muscle to tuned-out super cars, if you want to drive it, they've got it waiting for you. And not only do they look just as good as if you were seeing them for real, but they sound and FEEL like real cars. Each car has it's own unique driving style and sound, so you'll never be bored...maybe surprised, but never bored. You can customize your own car from the ground up (GT2 lets you customize your wheels this time...yay!) or if you can hold out long enough, you can buy the "special" models from the car distributors. However, I do have some issues with this game. First of all, the load times can be a bit irritating and it doesn't help when you have to move to so many different screens to get around in the game. Going from a race to another race or back to your garage seem to take forever after saying no to a dozen replays and the save/do not save question that pops up after all races. Also, I don't take well to formalities in video games. Like the original, GT2 has those wonderful licenses you must obtain in order to race in different competitions. It's like, am I going to be putting lives in danger by playing this game? Why do I need to be tested on everything from braking distance/time to my S-curve technique? I'm not going to listen to the rules anyway, so why put me through it? When it comes down to it, I am awful at those individual trials. Put me in the thick of the action and I can dominate. I just don't get it. Finally, I wish that the races weren't so predictable and repetitive. Once you get to the point where you know that you are going to win the race before you even leave the starting line, the game gets a little lackluster. All of the other cars follow the same imaginary line (like the license tests make you follow for "optimal performance") every single time out, so I know where they are going before they get there. Why can't cars spin out for no apparent reason (damnit, I do it!) or give me a little competition? Because let's face it, once you get ahead you stay ahead...that is if you have a reasonably suitable car or you don't spin out stupidly at the final turn, of course. Ah, but I get over the pain of constant winning quickly. I love this game. I wouldn't complain about it so much if I didn't... I wouldn't still be playing it. P.S. While doing the long, grueling endurance races I recommend turning the sound off and listening to your own music (or nothing, if you prefer) because as much as this game is hailed for its soundtrack choices, they will drive you mad after you hear the same song fifty times in one race. ...

Silent Hill Average Customer Review: CD-ROM US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France Editorial Review A downright creepy "survival horror" title, Silent Hillsucceeds where most Resident Evil-inspired titles suck: keepingyou hooked and instilling you with fear throughout the game. Playersare cast as Harry Mason in his desperate search for his daughter, whomysteriously disappeared after their car crashed into a gully outsideof a desolate resort town. The 3-D environments in Silent Hill are bathed in fog ordarkness, making its dismal setting all the more eerie; this alsoallows for some spectacular lighting effects when using a flashlight inthe dark. Granted, there are some pretty coarse graphics being obscuredhere, but it's a fair trade-off, considering the game's short loadtimes. Silent Hill is played from a third-person perspective, viewedfrom both fixed and moving camera angles. As with similar games, theviewpoint can be awkward at times, especially during combat, which hereis so clunky that you should try to avoid it whenever possible--somethingyou should do anyway, as this isn't Tomb Raider. Rather than resort to cheap scare tactics, Silent Hill featuresa gameplay twist that works very well with its limited visibilityenvironments. Harry carries a radio with him that crackles with staticwhenever the game's nasties are near, and continues until they're nolonger in the vicinity or have been killed off. (Enemies may requirefurther whacking when they're down, as they like to play dead.)Additionally, the supported Dual-Shock controller pulsates in aheartbeatlike fashion whenever you're moderately or seriously injured.--Joe Hon Pros:

Ridge Racer Type 4 Average Customer Review: CD-ROM US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France Reviews (24)
This game does offer variety with two types of racing and four racing team. Not only each team offers various difficulty, but also it offers different storylines. I have especially enjoyed night setting race course, with music which it brings out the essence of each course to its max. May be something's wrong with me for I just couldn't enjoy 'awesome' Gran Turismo games (third installment was very enjoyable)..you might say.. but this game was MUCH MORE ENJOYABLE than Gran Turismo, Don't miss it! ...

Dino Crisis Average Customer Review: CD-ROM (22 September, 1999) list price: $49.99 -- our price: $14.89 (price subject to change: see help) US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France Editorial Review Note to Parents: Realistic violence, gore, horror An abandoned research complex on a remote jungleisland, a team of special forces operatives, a horde of vicious velociraptors, and one big, meanTyrannosaurus rex constitute the setting and cast of Dino Crisis, the latest masterpiece from themakers of Resident Evil. You play as Regina, a member of a four-person team sent to retrieve an expatriate scientist. Your radio manbecame a midnight snack for the T.rex, so it's up to you and your two remaining teammates to explore adino-infested research station, rescue the scientist, call for a helicopter retrieval, and escape with your lives.Along the way you'll uncover the grizzly remains of those who got in the dinosaurs' way, and you'll unravelthe mystery of how a top-secret energy research project turned into a Jurassic nightmare. And about those dinosaurs: they're all over the island. One instant you'll be walking along a second-storybalcony, admiring the view, the next instant you'll be dodging a T.rex as it smashes its huge maw throughthe concrete walls. Velociraptors chase you down blood-spattered corridors, flying reptiles circle theoutdoor areas, and your only weapons are your pistol, whatever else you can salvage, a dwindling supply ofammunition, and your wits. Packed with clever puzzles and heart-pounding surprises, all superbly presented with realistic graphics andhorror-movie camera angles, Dino Crisis is a triumph of survival-horror gaming. --MikeFehlauer Pros:

Need For Speed High Stakes Average Customer Review: CD-ROM (16 November, 1999) list price: $39.99 US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France Editorial Review The Need for Speed series is already established as oneof the best racing game series on the PlayStation. Need for Speed:High Stakes continues the tradition in fine style by adding severalnew elements to the gameplay, and offering a wide variety of tracks andcars. Where the previous game in the series had you running from the law,this one has you racing for pink slips. Sure, you can still playcops and robbers (this time even playing the role of John Q. Law),but the real fun in this game comes from racing to win so that you canbuy a better car. Once equipped with faster wheels, you can hook upwith a friend to race for titles in the two-player mode. High Stakes boasts the best graphics in the series, but theycome at a price: slowdown. All too frequently, we found ourselveshitting a wall or an opponent's vehicle because the game stuttered aswe drove into a graphics-intensive portion of the track. Good visualsare nice, but they should never come at the expense of gameplay. Still,when else will you get a chance to blow away a buddy's shiny newMcLaren F1 in your "lowly" Corvette? --T.

Chrono Cross Average Customer Review: CD-ROM US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France Editorial Review Chrono Cross, the sequel to the Super Nintendo classicChrono Trigger, turns out to be well worth the wait. Taking off20 years after the first game, Chrono Cross follows a boy namedSerge across parallel worlds--both the world in which he lives and onein which he drowned 10 years earlier. Chrono Cross will wow players with beautiful prerendered graphicsand a unique battle system. Elements replace magic and items in battle,and using the same element three times in a row will ultimately increaseyour power. In addition to using elements, the accuracy of physicalattacks is determined by probability, with easier-to-land weak attackssetting up fierce blows. The plot, while a bit slow to develop, is full of interestingcharacters. Players will need to travel between the two worlds toadvance the plot. While many of these areas will initially appear tolook similar, you'll find them to be quite different upon closerexamination of the details. For instance, a plant that is extinct in oneworld thrives in the other. My only qualm with Chrono Cross is that, despite the complexitiesof the battle system, veterans will have an easy time with earlybattles. Still, there's much to like about this SquareSoft epic.--Robb Guido Pros:

Crash Team Racing Average Customer Review: CD-ROM (27 March, 2000) list price: $19.99 -- our price: $19.89 (price subject to change: see help) US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France Editorial Review PlayStation owners no longer need to borrow their friend's Nintendo 64 inorder to have a rollicking good old time racing virtual turbo-charged go-karts throughoutlandish environments. Crash Team Racing does an excellent job of re-creatingthat same thrill on the PlayStation. Crash Team Racing has all the marks of the kart-racing genre, includingbig-headed characters driving diminutive go-karts, power-ups to increase speed and slowdown opponents, and thematic tracks with multiple paths for exploration. WhatCTR adds to the mix is fairness: tighter-turning cars are rewarded for precisiondriving, skillful jumping, and strategic placement of booby traps. Sure, the playing fieldis level, but the better the driver, the better chance he or she has of winning consistentlywithout any annoying "catch-up code." The one-player game is wonderfully presented as an exploratory adventure, while themultiplayer mode is a split-screen must-play for anyone with a PlayStation (and, ofcourse, friends). Twenty-five tracks, 12 characters, and responsive control makeCTR the gotta-have racing game. --Jeff Young Pros:

You Don't Know Jack Mock 2 Average Customer Review: CD-ROM (05 November, 2000) list price: $32.99 US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France Features Reviews (10)
There are five kinds of questions on this game.The types of questions are multiple choice, Dis or Dat, Wendithap'n, Coikydink, and Jack Attack.Despite what other reviewers say that there isn't the Dis or Dat they are wrong.I know this because I have the game and I just copied the question types out of the instruction booklet. The multiple choice question is the question that occurs most often.A question pops up and four choices are given to pick from.If buzzed in to early, the player will not be able to see the question and/or see the screen and will most likely get it wrong. A Dis or Dat is a one player matching question.Two categories are shown and the point is to separate the seven answers that appear into these categories.Some of the time there is a third category that means that the answer would fit into both of the categories. A Wendithap'n is a question that asks if an event happened before, after, or never happened to another event.This question type was first in You Don't Know Jack Louder! Faster! Funnier! first and is not original despite what other reviewers say. Jack Attack is the last question of the game and can decide the game.A hint is shown in the middle of the screen and potential matches pop up for the players to buzz in on.Buzzing in isn't limited and can cost a player a ton of their money if they constantly buzz in wrong. You Don't Know Jack Mock 2 is a good game despite being two games compiled into one.Even if you own You Don't Know Jack 5th Dementia and You Don't Know Jack Louder! Faster! Funnier! for the computer, this game is still fun.If you own the games you can know the answers ahead of time and show off to your friends.(MWAHAHA!)
The host of this game is Schmitty, not Cookie.The difference is that Cookie was a much better host.Schmitty gets the job done, though. This game is not slow-paced AT ALL.If anything, it's too fast-paced.In the PC versions, the host introduces the theme of the show before jumping right in.In the Playstation version no screen was made for the host to introduce the theme, so he just does it after saying the category of the first question.What...? Also, the "When'dit'hapin" question type is completely new to the YDKJ series.You won't be able to find it in any of the other games, PC or Playstation. Finally, some more comments: during the final "Jack Attack" round, the center word is colored exactly the same as the area around it in the beginning, making it very hard to answer the question.Also, the game is supposed to automatically save the high scores onto your memory card, but it will only save onto memory card slot 1, and won't give you any message if there's no card in the slot. ...

The World Is Not Enough Average Customer Review: CD-ROM list price: $39.99 US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France Editorial Review This James Bond adventure needs a bit more shaking and stirring beforeit can be a standout among the current breed of console shooters. It's not thatThe World Is Not Enough is an awful game--it just seems that the world'sfavorite superspy, despite his many gadgets and guns, just doesn't compete withrecent offerings like Medal of Honor Underground. 007 isn't known largely for bursting into rooms with guns blazing, mowing downmillions of baddies; so, many parts of TWINE require stealth and cunning,instead of an itchy trigger finger. Sadly, most enemies can't shoot straight,and, if you move quickly enough, they'll forget that they ever saw you trying tobreak into that high-security area. TWINE features quite a few clips from the movie that keep the storymoving along. However, the music features a repetitive, awful remix of the JamesBond theme that quickly becomes grating. Fortunately, the highly detailedscenery breathes life into the locales that are featured in the 11 alarminglyshort levels of the game. However, what hurts this game most is its persistently generic gameplay. Whilethe gadgets are cool, the level design is somewhat plain. Also, the enemies andother characters all display a rather bland, uninterested look. The multiplayerelement that sold many a copy of Goldeneye 007 and The World Is NotEnough for the Nintendo 64 also is completely absent--a shame. All in all, you could do a lot worse than help 007 save the world again; but,once you get past the name, music, good looks, and merely decent gameplay,you'll find that TWINE still doesn't offer enough to make it a standoutin a crowded genre. --Mark Brooks Pros:

Graphically and sonically speaking, things are pretty good.The level graphics are fairly good and have some nice aesthetic touches, although the textures are maybe a bit blocky at times.The character graphics are quite decent for the Playstation, despite the fact that most of the enemies in any given area have the same clothes/faces.The cutscenes are full, beautifully digitized scenes taken directly from the movie.The music in the game fits the James Bond theme well.The voice acting is fairly good despite the fact that the voice actor playing Bond does a fairly laughable impersonation at times.The sound effects were generally good, too. The controls are nice and intuitive, although the use of two buttons to cycle through your weapon/item inventory can be a bit tedious.Basically, though, everything is here...auto aim, strafing, using R1 to zoom in and aim using crosshairs...The only other complaint I have is that hit detection on items you can use is sometimes a bit off.When you walk up to an item you can use, it will have a red box around it that will turn green when you're facing it correctly.However, it sometimes requires a few seconds of adjusting your angle to get the box to turn green, which can be troublesome when you're trying to do something like bug a telephone and take off before the patrolling guard comes back. The gameplay is a mixed bag.The game definitely does a nice job of providing variety, with levels ranging from standard shooting to sneaking around placing bugs to photographing secret documents to protecting your allies from enemy fire to sneaking around to save hostages to playing blackjack and more.However, most of these levels are fairly short, linear, and overly simple.The skiing level is especially disappointing, with skiing basically amounting to nothing more than clumsily following a narrow linear path while shooting the occasional enemy.Many gadgets are also incorporated into the game, however usually fairly poorly.The end of many levels involve certain timed situations where you have to use an item or gadget aimed at a small target to escape, get somewhere, or do something before time runs out.More often than not, these timed situations seemed to leave me saying "okay, what the heck am I supposed to do here?" and failing the mission once or twice before finally figuring it out.Another of the frustrating factors of the gameplay is that most objects are impervious to gunfire, including windows.It would be awesome if you could sneak up and take out certain guards through a window, but shooting at a window is basically the same as shooting at a wall. The AI do a lot to both add to and detract from the gameplay.The AI do a decent job of fighting/dodging, trigger alarms when they see you, and even use radios to alert other AI to your presence.However, their responses are usually fairly predictable.They're also quite flawed, especially when it comes to using the stun gun or tranquilizer gun on them.The stun gun only knocks out enemies for about 30 seconds for some reason, yet you can sit there and stun the same enemy for an hour and he never questions why he keeps waking up on the floor every 30 seconds.There are some levels where if an AI sees you and alerts the other AI, you automatically fail the mission.However, if you can stun the AI before he gets a chance to radio the others, he'll wake up on the floor 30 seconds later and it'll be like he never saw you and nothing happened.It's actually quite amusing but sort of kills the whole realistic AI factor. The game is also fairly easy, largely due to the linear gameplay and short levels.It more or less involves plowing through a level over and over until you beat it, not an overly challenging task even on the hardest difficulty level.The replay factor involves 2 different difficulty levels and cheats that can be unlocked by beating certain levels within a certain amount of time.It's also fun to go back every once in a while and play through the levels, especially more creative levels like the hostage rescue and telephone bugging levels.However, with no multiplayer and no real secrets or bonus levels, there's not a whole lot left after you finish the game. Overall, the game is quite fun despite its flaws.Most of the levels are very enjoyable.The game basically plays a digitized scene from the movie that cuts right into the next level, based directly on the corresponding scenario from the movie.Then, when you finish the level, it ends with a digitized scene that picks up right where the level ends.This really gives you the feeling that you're playing through the movie.In fact, even people who were in the room when I was playing were actually entertained just from watching it.It's definitely worth buying (although those looking for multiplayer action might want to consider the Nintendo 64 version instead).

Not leaps & bounds better than the CoolBoarders series, but slightly less cartoonish and with a better focus on the various modes, instead of a hodgepodge of fighting/racing/tricking.Certainly underrated.

Resident Evil 2 Average Customer Review: CD-ROM US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France Editorial Review Raccoon City has been overrun by the living dead, and you are one of only a dwindling handful of survivors. You must escape the doomed city or become part of a ghastly new food chain: one with you at the bottom. You play as either Leon Kennedy, a rookie cop who's having a really bad first day on the job, or Claire Redfield, sister of one of the stars of the original Resident Evil. Leon and Claire's meeting is depicted in a visually stunning, B-movie cutscene. They're quickly separated, but occasionally meet up throughout the game. Right after the gruesome intro, you're dumped into the thick of things and have to dash through the devastated city streets, fleeing from one horde of zombies after another. As you make your way to a supposed refuge--the city police station--you find evidence that the citizenry fought bravely against the undead menace--and lost. Smashed barricades, abandoned police cars, boarded-up stores, dismembered bodies, and hundreds of expended bullet shell casings are all-too-common sights. Once you reach the station, you discover the remains of a siege. The defenders' desperate final hours are recorded in a fragmented journal. Its pages detail a possible escape route through an underground passage. Did the cops make it out? The alarming number of zombies wearing tattered police uniforms may be a clue. Resident Evil 2 keeps the terrific puzzles and action of the original while vastly improving cinematic qualities such as dialogue, camera angles, cutscenes, atmosphere, and location design. An instant survival horror classic, Resident Evil 2 has it all. --John Cocking Pros:

Sled Storm Average Customer Review: CD-ROM (16 November, 1999) list price: $39.99 US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France Editorial Review Rev up your snow-hog. Electronic Arts is speeding off the asphalt and into the tree line with itslatest racing title, Sled Storm. Snowmobile racing may seem like a last-stab attempt at creating anew racing game for the PlayStation, but the result is irresistible and addictive. Sled Storm lets players control their riders' turns by leaning them right or left to take sharp cornerswithout flipping over the mechanized beasts. The game does a fantastic job of depicting the weight of thesevehicles as they careen off jumps and plummet like boulders. Stay off the brakes, seek out shortcuts, learntrick moves to earn extra points, and plow over anything on the course that looks suspiciously cute--such assnowmen or bunnies (for bonus points). Point totals at the end of the race can be converted to cash for sledupgrades. That's about all you need to know to compete. With songs by goth-rock god Rob Zombie, Sled Storm offers a winter wonderland full of racingfun. A four-player split-screen mode is the best way to play the game, but the artificial intelligence (AI) inthe one-player games is realistic enough to give players some decent competition. Forgo your inhibitionsand ride, baby, ride! --Jeff Young Pros:

Fear Effect Average Customer Review: CD-ROM (27 February, 2000) list price: $39.99 US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France Editorial Review Despite its unforgiving difficulty, Fear Effect is an innovativecinematic adventure that serious gamers won't want to miss. Set in a dark,futuristic world, Fear Effect has players switching back and forthbetween its three anime-style protagonists. With a story that's filledwith plot twists and heaps of what the Entertainment Software Rating Board findsoffensive, this is far from kiddie fare. Easily one of the most visually striking PlayStation titles, Fear Effectshines with Japanese-animation-inspired 3-D character graphics andfull-motion-video environments that allow for nearly seamless transitions between storysequences and gameplay. With the exception of restoring saves and changing CDs,there's virtually no game interruption. Unfortunately, it's very easy to die in Fear Effect, which not onlywrecks the game's pacing, but can be really quite maddening. Many portions ofthe game are more frustrating than challenging, requiring players to die andreload their last saved game over and over until they get things just right. And while Fear Effect's less-than-perfect controls admittedly do takesome getting used to, its real-time inventory system is just plain awkwardduring combat sequences. It's doubtful that professional mercenaries like theones you're playing would be fumbling about while changing or reloading weaponsin the heat of battle. Despite its flaws, Fear Effect does manage to keep you hooked, and is oneof those games you just have to see through to its end. --Joe Hon Pros:

I still play this game when I want to, it's just that it's just not the same like the first time I played it, cuz I didn't know what was going to happen(I didn't use a guide because I didn't want to ruin the suprise, and man it was a painful long jurney)If you like games like Silent Hill or Resident evilm I would definitly recomend this game, but rent it first. peace
The visuals in the game are done quite well, with a Anime characters and backdrop.Yet the controls might be tricky and hard to learn for some, if they haven't played Resident Evil.This amazing game, with the... pricetag from Amazon is a superb deal.But if you do not enjoy the gameplay of Metal Gear Solid or the controls of Resident Evil, I must say that you should stay away.

Parasite Eve 2 Average Customer Review: CD-ROM US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France Editorial Review Three years ago, gamers were introduced to Aya as she resigned from theNew York Police Department and enlisted as a NMC (neo-mitochondrion creature)hunter for the shadowy government organization M.I.S.T., a secret agency ofmonster slayers somewhere between Ghostbusters and Men in Black.Wherever there was a neo-mitochondrion outbreak, Aya and her team were on thescene to put the boots to the mutants. From the outset, it's evident thatSquareSoft revamped the entire game to give gamers a better looking, sounding,and (most importantly) playing experience. The game starts with Aya training in the agency's shooting gallery in LosAngeles. Just as she begins to get in a groove, she is asked to look into somestrange happenings at the Akropolis Tower. When she arrives on the scene, anexplosive, full-motion video flashes across the screen and showcases the deathand carnage as Aya surveys the scene. Her entry into the Tower is where this RPGbegins. SquareSoft has kept some of the excellent elements of the weapons systems fromthe first Parasite Eve title, but went for an entirely new battle system.Combat is delivered in real time and allows players to run, hide, and open fire.Aya can tap into her parasitic powers and can unleash elemental, magic-basedattacks on the many foes she encounters. Ammunition is plentiful in the game andthere are plenty of entertaining weapons to choose from. Auto targeting andinvolving puzzles are back, though the arrow-pointing interface for solvingthese puzzles is really hard to operate. The cinematic mix of story and action is very well done, and the numerouscutscenes do an excellent job of moving the pace along in a believable way. Even though the original Parasite Eve had its problems, SquareSoft haspieced together an excellent sequel that will satisfy fans of the first game andhelp create many new ones. --Todd Mowatt Pros:

While completely unbelievable, I find myself quickly immersed with Parasite Eve II. An attractive woman called Aya Brea with a hardened background in New York crime fighting is back again fighting 'NMCs', neo-mitochondria, basically the disease mentioned above. I'm impressed with the realistic graphics and the all-too chilling cutscenes and rampant beasts; some are laudable, some disgusting, some chilling. Parasite Eve II now has an even darker glow to it, but loses it's RPG edge in place of Action/Adventure. I really love how anyone can sit down and play this without ever hearing of the first game, its a solid game with a good storyline. I can always play this game again and with more than one possible ending and multiple difficulties there is little chance I'll be bored. I give this four stars, mainly because I think the lines could have been snappier, the people sometime off-character and there are quite a few angles later in the game that are very annoying to manuever around. Otherwise this a great game that is worth the nine bucks they sell it for. ... Read more Asin: B00004W4QJ |
