Editorial Review

Spyro is a cute purple dragon in a bit of a pickle. Each of Spyro's dragon friends has fallen victim to the nefarious Gnasty Gnorc, who has turned them into crystals. Accompanied by Sparx the dragonfly, Spyro sets out to free his buddies, while collecting gems and dragon eggs. Sparx also serves as Spyro's health-o-meter, glowing gold when Spyro is healthy and turning dusky green as he tires. To boost his energy, Spryo can blast docile creatures with fire, turning them into butterflies, which Sparx transforms into much-needed fuel.

This title has bright graphics in six well-developed worlds, each with several subworlds, including bogs, deserts, and ice worlds. Unlike some action games, in Spyro the Dragon the enemies are more fun than frightening. In the Peace Keepers world, for example, Spyro must burn down the monster soldiers' tent, sending one of the minions running out, quaking with fear or, if you're lucky, dropping his drawers and shooting a moon.

Spyro's movements (fire breathing, gliding, jumping, and climbing) require entry-level gaming skills. For this reason, Spyro the Dragon is an excellent title for youngsters or less experienced players, who want to play without having to master complex movement combinations. --Kasty Thomas

Pros:

• Large worlds provide hours of game playing
• Variety of scenarios
• Engaging graphics

• Low game skill requirements may prove less challenging for expert players

i played it with kasty thomas in arizona and had a ball.
it is easily contrloed and i am inexperienced ,lol.but i played it and thought it was funny.i miss kasty too.

This game rocks!!!
spyro is a cool little dragon off to defeat nasty nork and save the dragon relms while reclaiming the gems nork stole on the way. Explore the different worlds and defeat bosses which range from a giant robot to a sheep on stilts!

Great Game!
This game is really good, but not the best of all my games.The best is Spyro, Year of the Dragon.

Wonderful!
This game is byfar my favorite Spyro game! I am hoping to beat it in the next few days and I am saying it is king of hard but VERY VERY fun!

4.5 stars! Classic!
Ah, Spyro! Released in 1998 for the PS1, Spyro is the first entry of many. [Although, only the first three were any good, because the newer ones were owned by an poor company.]

Graphics: 9/10: Horrible by today's standards, but very good by 1998 standards. Colorful and clear old-school 3-D graphics.

Music:10/10: Pretty catchy, nothing really grinds on your ears.

Sound: 8/10: Pretty good.

Gameplay:9.5/10: You control Spyro, the PO'd dragon, through many worlds. There he must collect gems, rescue dragons, fight enimies, bosses, and other dangers, and also use his trademark flame and charge moves. This game is a bit easy, but it's very entartaining.

The game costs about 10$ about now, so buy it! ... Read more

Editorial Review

Most attempts to tamper with the basic gameplay of Tetrishave fallen flat on their faces, but Tetris Plus is actually adecent take on the timeless classic. You can tackle a basic solo game ofTetris, challenge a friend in two-player mode, or go directly tothe best portion of the game: puzzle mode.

In puzzle mode, playerscontrol blocks as they descend from the top to the bottom of the screen.As they fall, you can spin blocks so that they land next tocorresponding colors at the bottom of the screen. Gameplay is just likethe original only with a few major twists. The bin that holds the piecesat the bottom of the screen starts out partially filled, while a littleprofessor character climbs on top of the stack. Your job is to clearlines of blocks so that the professor can reach the exit at the bottomof the bin before a spiked ceiling smacks him in the head. Two playerscan also duke it out in puzzle mode, sending cleared lines to theiropponent's bin. This isn't the best version of Tetris we've everplayed, but it does still manage to offer a lot of entertainment for itslow price. --T. Byrl Baker

Pros:

• Several types of play
• Good two-player mode

• Mediocre graphics

Classic Tetris with a twist
Well, almost. The developers added a few new twists, the most interesting of which is the puzzle mode. Each puzzle level begins with the professor standing on a different pattern of blocks. You've got to clear the blocks out from under him to get him to the bottom. If you don't figure out the right way to solve this puzzle, he climbs to the top of the blocks you're stacking up. The game's over when the professor and the descending spiked ceiling collide. This version of the game is entertaining and even challenging, although after a while you begin to wonder why you're trying to rescue a guy who insists on climbing to his death. Other new additions include an edit mode that lets you create and save your own puzzles. A split-screen mode enables two people to play Tetris at the same time without competing against one another. In the regular VS mode, you can still play the computer or a friend. As with most new puzzle games, you can send blocks to your opponents screen when you clear a certain amount from your own -- in this case, two rows of blocks cleared from your screen means two rows of blocks sent to your opponent. If you like Tetris and you1re looking for a familiar, addictive game, this is the answer. Tetris Plus hasn't revolutionized puzzle games, but it's still fun.

Probably the best Tetris sequel
Tetris became an instant classic when it was packaged with the Game Boy in 1989. But the most interesting thing about the game becoming so successful is the fact that it spawned so many sequels - each of which was unique in its own way. One of these sequels was Tetris Plus, in which the objective of the game was to save a professor from being smashed by a spiked ceiling, rather than scoring lines like in traditional Tetris games. How does this change of pace work out for the series? Read on and see.

PROS:
-The graphics here are much better than those in the Game Boy game of the same name.
-In addition to the new "rescue the professor" mode which is the main attraction of the game, there is the classic Tetris mode you should know and love.
-Like in most Tetris titles, there's a two-player mode (WELL worth checking out.)

CONS:
-The music, while very good, isn't nearly as catchy as the classical Russian music featured in the original Game Boy game.

OVERALL:
Overall this is a fine addition to the Tetris library. If you're a fan of puzzle games, then Tetris Plus is well worth checking out. Sure, it never got the recognition and popularity that the original did, but it's still excellent. Don't pass it by if you're a Playstation owner.

Tetris Plus
A very fun game if you have a partner play with you!!!

Great puzzle for children younger than 6 years
This is one of a kind. My three year old son is a master of Tetris plus puzzle game. My whole familly enjoys playing as much as I am, it is great

Editorial Review

The classic arcade game Frogger snatched more than a few quarters back in the '80s. Hasbro's smash hit comes home with an entirely new look and sound. You'll hop through nine gaming worlds and dozens of levels in a new 3-D-based gaming environment. The game begins in familiar territory as the first levels are faithful 3-D re-creations of the classic arcade game. However, as you begin to progress deeper into the game, you'll find new areas that are equally challenging.

Whether or not you are a fan of the original game, Frogger stands on its own as a modern-day favorite. This title has consistently ranked among the top-selling home video games since its release. -- Brett Atwood

Pros:

• Based on the arcade hit
• Dozens of game levels

• May not appeal to some hardcore gamers

Features

• Modern update of the arcade classic, with mission and storyline
• 9 polygonal 3-D worlds with dozens of levels
• All-new abilities like Power Croak, Heat-Seeking Tongue, and Super Jump
• Speed, reflexes, and timing are crucial
• For 1 player

cant beat the classics
When I was a kid I had one of the 1st versions of this game back in the 80's for my vic 20 computer then the version for the commodor 64 and i loved it then. the play station version is a great game too and has keep me up for hours playing it. if your looking for a modern style computer game this isnt for you but if you like the old style arcade games then this is a great buy and can give you many hours of entertainment.

Hard, but fun.
Frogger is a hard game, but the original was no walk in the park, either. Good level design overall, even if the difficulty should be tone down a bit sometimes.

The multiplayer race feature is pretty fun, but it's nothing near classic.

Blech
If I wasn't addicted to the original Frogger, I would say this game was actually pretty cool but I can't. I wanted to see the original for PS. This game is HARD. I hear the 2nd one is better but I haven't tried it yet. If you don't mind the new look and scene, go for it but if you are expecting the Atari version but updated, don't waste your money. There is only one board that is similar.

A very difficult game
I purchased this game for my boys. It is so difficult that I have never completed level 4 anywhere(with 3 lifes each level). The graphics is just ok compared with some of the newer games. My boy(7) felt it was little too difficult too, he never completed level 5. My 3 1/2 year old boy passed the level one only a couple times out of hundreds of trial.

This game is horrible
horrible graphics, mindless games, hnow the heck did u give it 5 stars??? ... Read more

Editorial Review

Few racing games for the PlayStation can approach Need forSpeed III: Hot Pursuit in terms of car selection, track layout, andsheer fun. Combine the game's quality with the fact that it was addedto the PlayStation's bargain Greatest Hits collection, and youhave a title that deserves to be in the library of any racing fan.

Hot Pursuit gets its name from our favorite mode of gameplay, inwhich players try to exceed the reach of the long arm of the law bygreatly exceeding the speed limit. The ultimate goal is to beat youropponent to the finish line, but usually it's hard enough just dodgingoncoming traffic, swerving around police roadblocks (complete withspike strips), and trying to keep pursuit vehicles from slamming youoff the road. It's nearly as fun to watch replays as it is to race, andwe've only discussed one of the game's five types of play. Thisdiverse, fast-paced racer is definitely a keeper. --T. ByrlBaker

Pros:

• Nearly perfect arcade racing action
• Nice graphics, special effects, and sounds

• Some modes of play are incredibly difficult
• Can't play as the police

Features

• Fast paced arcade racing game
• Use radar, dispatchers, and roadblocks to track down speeders
• Race on 8 challenging tracks
• Hot pursuit on both sides of the law, including being tracked by the chopper
• For 1 or 2 players

THIS GAME ROCKS!!!!!!THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO IT!!!

AWSOME GAME EVER!
This is a very fun game for my Play Station. I was able to play my new game in the car while we were going home. 3D graphics

Totally Awsome
I think this Game is Excellent! It's even better with Gameshark Pro. With Gameshark Pro you can open more tracks to run on. My personal Favorite is "The Room".

Best Need For Speed yet....
Need For Speed 3: Hot Pursuit is the best one of the Need For Speed series yet. You can now race in a new mode "Hot Pursuit" where you run from the cops while still racing apponents. You can now race in awesome cars like Ferrarri's, Diablo SV's, and The El Nino.

Awesome new 3D tracks like:
Hometown
Redrock Ridge
Atlantica
Rocky Pass
Country Woods
Lost Canyons
Aquatica
The Summit
Empire City

And if you enter the following cheats under the "USER NAME" option, you can access bonus levels such as:

The Room (Enter "PLAYTM")
Caverns (Enter "XCAV8")
Motorcross (Enter "XCNTRY")
Space Race (Enter "MNBEAM")
Scorpio 7 (Enter "GLDFSH")

Also, enter "SEEALL" to see all videos!

This game is so hot that i play it all the time!

Editorial Review

Jet Moto 2 suffers from many of the same problems as the first Jet Moto. While it is basically just a racing game with an aerial twist, overall playability suffers due to the difficulty of turning at high speeds. As before, different racers ride on aerial jet bikes. Each character has a corporate sponsorship and a different set of advantages and disadvantages. However, no character is easy to master. In addition, you must come in first in each race to advance beyond the first three races. This is plenty difficult, and the muddy graphics don't help much. While the courses add interesting elements such as water, lava, and other obstacles, the proper pathway is often unclear due to poor graphics or badly designed levels.

Overall, this is a fun racing game for the hard-core racing fan, but those who really want to fly are better off with something that offers clearer graphics. Another problem stems from the fact that if you knock another racer off his or her cycle, but the cycle goes forward, then the recent victim of your assault starts where his or her cycle stops. This location is usually in front of you. So it's actually better not to hit them at all. The lack of replays in this version is helpful, and Jet Moto fans will appreciate the upgrade. Still, for a really stellar racing game, look elsewhere. --Allen Stewart

Pros:

• No boring replays
• Better graphics than the first Jet Moto
• A real challenge to win
• Fun tricks possible

• Jet bike is too hard to control
• View is awkward and at times confusing
• Unclear levels--where's the finish line?

Great Memories of this Game!
I remember every one of them.Action-packed levels, scenic ambiences, adrenaline-pumping music--all in Jet Moto 2.I cannot stress the creativity of the levels---how did they come up with this stuff!! It's amazing!Like one level you'll be looping around a roller coaster type track.Then, later in the game, there's a track called 'Nightmare'---what a dark, gloomy, horrifying track!!It's like you're on this platform in the middle of darkness and you get run over and fall into this huge, dark pit!The Antarctica levels are the greatest of them all.Have you ever heard the music??The best part about it.It's orchestrated, symphonic, heart-racing music.I wish I knew which philharmonic group made this music--it's brilliant.Other levels have orchestrated music too--it's great to listen to.Some of the other levels have rock/orchestra balanced music, so it's not all the same.

The levels aren't like your boring "one-way" levels.There are shortcuts, which really adds to the value of this game.

The sound effects are awe-inspiring.From the heavens to dungeons, the Antarctic to the tropical islands, jungles to steeply sloped snow-covered mountains----this game has entertainment in every level---with very appropriate sound effects....like on the urban part of the first level, aftershock--sirens are wailing; waves from the ocean.It's so realistic.

The moto bikes are awesome.Handling is great, the levels are awesome, not to mention, you can get cheat codes (not gameshark) and unlock the old Jet Moto levels, which is just amazing.I don't care which character I am, or bike, I just love racing these levels.The intensity of racing in this game is very impressionable, which makes this game's value worth your money.

High jumps, hard courses, uneven racers
This is a futuristic dirt bike game, where rather than riding dirt bikes, you ride a jet-powered motorcycle. The game starts out being fun racing along exotic 3D courses like a jungle island, an earthquake rattled Los Angeles that has fallen into the sea, a cold mountain passageway and so on. When the player advances past the first few races the game stops being fun and starts getting unnecessarily and frustratingly difficult, because rather than having track borders (like walls) where the racer cannot go past a certain point, the courses further in the game take away those walls so you literally fall off the track. It is also unclear where the finish line is, sometimes you must do a lap around a circular track, and other times you must do a U turn then go back through the track. Then reappear on the track, far behind the other racers. The game is full of jumps, ridiculously high jumps, and while you are in the air you can do flips and tricks. Not any advanced tricks like from Tony Hawk. There are several racers, however the racers are so uneven that you can pick a certain racer and win constantly.

A GREAT Racing Game
Jet Moto 2 has cool tracks. You can race on a roller coaster, in the snow, or in the water. In has about 20 different tracks and about 10 different characters. They have different speeds, handling, and weights. You can race with the computer or another person. I warn you the computer is HARD. Please get this game but don't get Jet Moto 3. I got bored with it in one day.

A super cool game , for super cool gamers!
Jet Moto 2 rocks!It was my first game for my playstation, and it rocks!Ten players, with ten different bikes!you can play with two different players! ride on or in: mud , water, snow and concret. you can doimpossible stunts if you have an analog controller!You can flip upsidedown, 180s, possobly 360s, you can even ride through yellow stone, and passby old falthfull! Race on a volcano, and ride through hot lava! But watchout, some tracks you can ride off the side of the tracks, but it's funnybecause you can hear the person screaming! you have unlimited live so youcan die as maney times as you want.Since it is rated K-A, anyone can playit, and i would say anyone who plays it will love It!

This Game is Pales in Comparison to the First
This game sucks.I don't say that becasue it's too hard or easy I say it becasue it doesn't live up to the name Jet Moto.Buy the first and then you'll see a real racing game.Buy this and you'll see a recycled, genericracing game with dumb racers and even dumber tracks.Save your money andget the first. ...

Editorial Review

Many of the games in the budget-priced Greatest Hitsseries are showing their age, but Rayman's old-school 2-Dtechnology ironically gives it an edge in terms of longevity. This stillis one of the most beautiful, fun, and imaginative side-scrollingplatform jumping games ever released.

You control the now-famous Rayman, a strange character with no arms orlegs (although he has feet and hands) and a propeller on his head. Somemay look at this as just another game where players run around and jumpall the time, but the charming graphics and incredibly tight controlselevate Rayman into special territory. The difficulty level isjust right at the beginning, letting players get a feel for Rayman'sbasic moves. Later levels require more advanced tricks and precisejumps, but the game is never unfair--something few 2-D side-scrollinggames can claim. If you can get past the too-cute graphics and see themfor the lush, imaginative visuals they are, the gameplay should keep youhooked for days. --T. Byrl Baker

Pros:

• Imaginative graphics and smooth animations
• Tons of levels to explore

• 2-D confines can make things a little dull after hours of play

Sidescrollers on the PS1 don't get much better than this!
Rayman is a classic game released in the Playstation's early years. And it's still a great game!

Gameplay:10/10:Sidescrolling joy! You are Rayman, an armless, legless, neckless thingy, who has to save his world after the evil Mr. Dark takes over it. You will need to free your caged friends in all of the huge worlds to get to Mr. Dark's layer. You also get powers, such as punching, helicopter, and more! You also fight tough bosses like Space Mama!

Challange:10/10: It's HARD! And only 5 continues! But here's a hint: If you have less than 3 continues, press up, down left, and right on the continue screen to get 10 extra continues!

Graphics: 10/10: They are colorful, and I mean COLORFUL! Bright, cartoonlike 2D graphics. The best of the PS's 2D graphics!

Sound: 9/10: It sounds great!

Music: 10/10: I love the music. My favorite tune is the music on certai levels on the Cave of Skops!



So if you have a PS, and are looking for a chalanging sidescroller, look no further!

Good for its type
If you liked the old type of Sonic games on the Megadrive then you'll love this. This game is hard unless your talented at games like me. I gave this a five because of the grate impact on me as my first PS1 game with Crash 1. This is a 2d platformer(the way you move left or right)and I prefer it to Rayman 2 that is 3D(I do prefer 3D games to 2D).

Rayman to the Rescue!
If you are bored, play RAYMAN!This is one of the best games I have everplayed on my playstation. There are 60 LEVELS and they get harder and harder. You have to try to free all the ELECTOONS and you can gain abilities on the way to the end. The stary is.......In RAYMAN's world, everyone/everything lived in peace together until one day a fearful thing happens and all the ELECTOONS(they keep the peace in Rayman's world)are caught and imprisoned and there are maniacs running around. RAYMAN TO THE RESCUE!

Get one of the newer versions
This version of Rayman was good...in it's time. Now, there are at least five newer (and better) versions with more and better graphics. I'll admit this game is a little challenging, but believe me, it gets old fast. With all the other Rayman games out there nowadays, I really can't think of a good reason to get this one.

This game is hard and it not that good.
I thought this game looked like fun, I was wrong. It is frustrating and you have to press so many keys at once. They never tell you what key to press, and there is bad guys all over and if you get hit like once your dead. This game is dumb. ... Read more

Cool Boarders 3
It's a great game, It's Alot more realistic than CB2.More tricks and outer limits.It's what snowboarding is all about.There is also alot of more things to it than in CB2.I mean more, companys and real snowboarders like in real life.I am a big fan of sports so I took this game with an awsome impression, I love this game and I suggest this game to any snowboarding fan.

Off the 'great' mark, but still very good.
Graphics: 8/10 – Clear and pretty, with great mountain designs, cool characters and fantastic snowboards that are designed and used brilliantly.

Sound: 5/10 – Relaxing, swift and sweet snowboard sounds, but the boulders could have made more noise, the music could have been more exciting and the sound editing is ... .

Value: 7/10 – While this is fun and challenging with cheats to die for, there are simply much better Cool Boarders games.

Overall: 7/10 – This is not the greatest snowboarding game ever, but it is entertaining and nicely designed with good gameplay. I enjoyed playing it. It is better with 2 players and I recommend finding the cheats before playing.

Awsome game !!!!!!!!!!
This game is so good !!!!! I don't even have to beat it I just have fun play with a friend. The coolest thing about this game are the tricks. Some of favourites are: Misty, Rodeo and salute. Get this game even if you don't snowboard ( comme moi, I ski ) If you don't you don't have a decent Library.

Enough fun to last about 3 months
This is an Ok game, but it could be much better. There is only one skill level, and it is pretty easy.Tournament mode is sort of hard, the first time, but altogether, it is easy. I beat all the tournaments in 3 months, and then the game got boring. Graphics and sounds were pretty good, but if you want a game that has more than that, I would suggest a different game.

A cool game
This game is pretty cool, but after a few days it got a little boring, even thow it is probaly the best snowboarding game ever. I think every thing is good except the tricks! I don't think their are anoth. Any way its a great game, if you like extreme sports games. If not, play it at your friends or rent it. ... Read more

An arcade classic gets a makeover
At the end of the nineties, a new fad in the video game industry started - remaking arcade classics for modern audiences. Though this idea seemed odd, it had some pretty good results. One of the first games to get a makeover was the classic Asteroids. How does this new version of the game measure up? Read on and you shall find out!

PROS:
-Obviously, the graphics have been given a total makeover - and all for the better.
-Unlike the original arcade game, you have your choice of three different ships in this game! Each ship has different stats.
-There is a fourth, hidden ship.
-Hidden somewhere in the game is the original Asteroids arcade game!
-You can get power-ups for your craft. These serve a variety of different functions, making this game very entertaining.
-There are a variety of locales. You start out in deep space, but will find yourself in other interesting places, like at the entrance to a black hole, and on a huge asteroid!
-Asteroids aren't the only targets this time around. There are aliens, satellite pieces, and all kinds of new obstacles.
-The game, though it has several improvements, maintains the original's simplistic control scheme.

CONS:
-Even though this is a good makeover, this kind of game is severely dated.
-You won't like this game if you didn't like the original version.
-This game IS NOT for everybody. If the game gives you a bad first impression, you probably won't be willing to give it a chance.
-There is not enough variety. The game is basically the same turn, teleport, boost, and shoot formula the original used.

OVERALL:
If you liked the original version of Asteroids, there's a good chance you'll enjoy this update of the classic. If you didn't like the original, you're not going to like this. Ultimately we have a pretty good game here, but it's not for everyone.

Unworthy Revamp
Right here goes... The graphics, although jazzed up a little, are still hardly pushing the PS to it's limits. Even a Megadrive could (and did - Star Control) do a much better effort. Secondly, there are 60 levels in the game, most of which can be cleared of asteroids in seconds, and the background changes after each 15 levels. Again, hardly pushing the machine there really considering that the 4 background images are very uninspired. I cleared the game on my first play! At least the origional game went on into infinity (I presume.) Lastly, although the new weopans are pretty cool, they don't appear randomly - ie: on the first ten levels you get mines, next ten levels you get homing missiles, next ten you get smart bombs etc. This aspect takes a lot of the fun out of happening upon something interesting early on.

Oh, and the two player mode is as fun as a bout of ... in a space suit. Co-operative play only!! There isn't even a mode where you can fight your mates...

I know it's cheap, but it's a 'three-games-and-it's-gathering-dust' title I'm afraid. Why doesn't someone release Star Control for the PS?? Now that was great fun.

Fun for all people!
Asteroids has great graffics and 3 ships to choose from. Now there is many new kinds of asteroids. ( Like crystal asteroids, alien astoriods, or ancient energy asteroids. There is also other cool stuff like space debris and comets. ) You can also get power-ups that recharge your shields, power-up your laser, let you set mines, and 13 other things. You can play with 2 people. The only thing a hate is that when you save your game it saves the zone not the level. ( There are 5 zones with at least 10 levels each. ) If you are wanting to play the classic asteriods all you have to do is find an object from that game and fire at it. This will unlock it.

Yep, I'm still an Asteroids addict!
I was a master of the original Asteroids. And I found this Playstation version very challenging. I've finally mastered the Expert level, and I'm intimidated about trying the Hardcore level. Excellent graphics, sound, andoptions. If you were a fellow-addict, you will LOVE this game. If you neverplayed Asteroids--this game is for those people who love to shoot-em-up andrack up the points.Best played with Dual shock controllers. ENJOY!

Not bad....but
Good graphics and all, and I really was a fan of the original back in high school, but honestly ...it kind of gets old after a while.You can play the original, but I soon wondered why I like it (because it was somethingnew in the 80's).If you're a fan of asteroids, you'll like it, if not,save your money. ...

Good game for hours of fun
Destruction Derby 2 is a game for all you racing-destruction game lovers.You race for points by hitting opponents,regular stock car races, and the classic demolition derby.With four demolition arenas for hours of fun just on that.It needs more cars to choose from and to customize your cars but otherwise it is fun.When i bought my playstation it looked fun and it was my favorite out of 5 games.I would recremend it to all you crash bound racers.

Not near as fun as the origional
Let's see, in this game, #1. no multi player #2. no hidden cars, this was the appeal of the first game in my opinion. Don't waste your money, even if you find it used, like I did. Buy the origional, cause this one should have been cancelled before it ever hit the production line. Enough said ~!

Cool game- Not real enough...
i like this game alot, the only thing i dont like about it is that it doesnt really look like a real car, and in most real derby's the cars do go out so easily, so they should either make it better, or drop the wholeseries.

It's not what I expected
It is alright but you lose interest in it quickly and then gets pretty boring. I think the handling of the car could have been better.

Best Racing Game Ever, except for Gran Turismo
How can these people say replay value is not there or that it is a stupid game.This game is the coolest racing game I have ever played.It makes no difference how or if you finish the race, as long as you crashed enoughof your opponents, you will advance.Great frame rate and for its time, agreat concept.Driver is better if you like a plot, Gran Turismo is betterif you want realism, but for all out arcade style fun DD2 is the best gameout. ...

This toy is FABULOUSSSSSSSSSSSS it is AMAZZZINNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGG. but be careful dialing the help numbers as we dialed it wrong and talked to someone in rapid Espanol. it was cool. he hates us now. with a passion. but now, back to the game. it is amazing and full of education. i would recommend that it be given to every child on the earth, and maybe even president bush because it teaches you how to say things correctly. NO MO NUKE-U-LER. no its NU-CLEE-RR.

Too Confusing
The graphics in this game are very cool, however I found this game tedious and confusing at times.This is definately a game for the younger gamers.

the best game ever!
ever since my brother didn't like the game. I started to played, it was very irresisteable not to give up and continue after you just found a clue. It made you wanted to know right away what's it was and to finish the game.

My Favorite Playstation Game!
This is the best PlayStation game I have ever played! Join Casper, Kat, Dr. Harvey, the ghostly trio, and the evil Carrigan Crittendon in this fun-filled, puzzle-to-solve game. Press the levers, get keys, and open the doors to find the clues. Casper can morph into objects if you find them, for example, if he turns into smoke he can go through the vents to find more clues.

Super Fun!
This game practically has me in a trance. I'm totally addicted.Casper iscute, of course, but the uncles are mean and nasty.Casper explores thehalls and rooms of Whipstaff Manor. You use your controller to move Casperaround, pick up, carry and use objects and solve puzzles that obtain secretitems which will grant Casper the ability to morph into a wide variety ofshapes. For me, the morphing is the coolest part. Casper can morph intosmoke, a hammer, a ball, and many other things. Casper needs to use hisnewly obtained morph shapes to gain access into various rooms in WhipstaffManor. In the process of solving puzzles and obtaining hidden treasures,Casper must also face grueling duels with his wicked uncles Stretch,Stinkie and fatso. Caspers final show down, however is against the heiressCarrigan. Carrigan wants the gold that Whipstaff Manor holds and will stopat nothing to get it. When you reach this point in the game new excitingthings begin to happen. With a little help from Kat and her father alongthe way Casper will guide you through the corridors of Whipstaff Manor. Athrilling journey with many challenges along the way. This game isexciting, its fun and its challenging. You will discover new things aboutthe mansion that alert your curiosity (What will happen next?) Casperlearns to do things along the way that are really neat.You will want tomaster this game just for the thrill of it. It's not just a game, itbecomes a quest.Each level of this game gets harder to solve. Helpfulhints along the way will guide you, but only so far. That's what makes itsuch a thrill. I found myself combing the game book for clues.I finallymastered this game and I feel exhilarated. You will too. If you are anaction and adventure fan this game is for you. Try it and see. It's Fun!Fun! Fun! ... Read more

Editorial Review

Rugrats: Search for Reptar is a challenging 3-D adventure game basedon the familiar Nickelodeon cartoon series. Fans of the show will encounter the entireRugrats gang, including Tommy, Angelica, Phil and Lil, Chuckie, Stu, Spike, andGrandpa. Your goal is to seek and find pieces of Tommy's lost Reptar puzzle, which arescattered across 10 basic and 6 bonus levels. As you look for the pieces, you'll travelthrough several strange scenarios, including a trip to the grocery store with Tommy andGrandpa (where you must dodge spinning sodas and mean lobsters). You'll also helpGrandpa find his lost teeth while dodging evil geese in a maze of bushes. Other cooladventure areas include an egg hunt, a circus, and a game of miniature golf withwindmills and uneven greens.

As in the cartoon, the game's graphics are relatively simplistic. However, the cameraangles do get a bit dicey at times, since the kids' big heads can often block your view ofthe action. In addition, the frequently shifting perspectives sometimes result in a suddenreversal of your control response, which can be frustrating during time-sensitivemoments. Nonetheless, this 1999 winner of the Parents Choice Award for the 4- to10-year-old category is a great way for parents and their young children to play together.--Kasty Thomas

Pros:

• Kid-friendly gameplay
• Based on the animated hit TV series

• Camera angle problems can hinder gameplay

Ah,memories
this game's gameplay is crappy and everything in it is awful.But the reason i gave it 5 stars is because it holds alot of memories for my cousin and i.we used to play it when we were very young.we never beat it but we did get pretty far one time.like i said,most people wouldn't like it,but it holds alot of memories for me.

Roaring Reptar
This game is not the best game but it is still fun. It can get boring if you play it alot. I find it different beacuse you hunt areound Tommy's house for "reptar bars" and puzzle pieces. of course there are about two game in every room. The games are rated Easy, Medium or Hard. At first you van only do easy and medium but when you get about 3 puzzle pieces you can start doing "hard" The medium games usually has a set of challenges for you to do. Such as in Grampa's Teeth a goose has stolen Granpa's Dentures. You (Tommy and Chuckie) ride Spike through a hedge maze to find the goose. When you find the goose the goose takes Chuckie and then you must once again chase the goose. Most of the games are timed. I would say this game is good for 7 and up.

My daughter likes it
As a lot of the others say, it is a real easy game. But for kids, they need it to be a bit easy because they can get very discouraged if they can't do it. My 9 year old was playing it for hours! I recommend it to the young set.

This game [stinks]!!!
This game is a waste of your money! This game is dumb and it shouldn't of been sold! This game is way easy and is a waste of your time. I wouldn't buy this for $[money]. You are better off buying a better CD for the same price!

By:
3 gamers 12, 9, and 6

Much too easy
I saw this game, rented it from the store, and brought it home. It took me an hour to beat the game 100%, and the graphics were awful. They were pointed all over, and looked worse than Lara Croft from Tomb Raider I. I would not reccomend buying this game enless you're a first time gamer or under 8 years old. Rent, don't buy if you're older. ... Read more

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. Byrl Baker

Pros:

• Fun tracks and a variety of high-performance vehicles
• Playing as the cops can be fun
• Excellent sound effects

• Suffers from slowdown too often

Features

• Fast paced arcade racing game
• Stunning 3-D cockpits get in the driver's seat like never before
• 19 realistic courses--race a variety of exotic locales
• Take the ultimate high stakes challenge: lose the race, lose your car
• For 1 or 2 players

This Game Stinks!
Ha! You thought this was going to be a positive review didn't you? Ha! Ha! And double ha!
I first got Need for Speed: High Stakes when I was six months old, and hated it already. So I ate the CD and it tasted bad.

Super Pursuit
Super 3D graphics make the game fun.The music is well made.Choose cars like the Mc Laren F1,La Nina and the Mercedees CLK GTR and tons more!(Note:Unlock these cars by doing well in Carrer Mode and/or doing cool cheats).More than 15 tracks is sweet!I love Hot Pursuit,it is exactly what there would be in a real chase!(it is REAL!)There is a lady dispatcher and lots of fast policemen make me hesitate in my seat!Overall it is a super game.GET IT!

A Great Game!
Need For Speed is amazing!Cool Tracks,Cool effects,and cool cars of course!Need for Speed is a fun game for anyone!If you try it you will love it.Well,I won't tell you what you are going to see in the game,because it's a surprise!But there is also tournments,Races,and you can try to unlock tracks,cars,and more!If you complete some tournments!The rest a surprise!I hope you like it too,Like me!

I still feel the Need For Speed
Need For Speed: High Stakes is the only game from the Need For Speed series that I have played, so I cannot compare this particular game to the others in the series.What I can say is that NFS: High Stakes is a great little game even now, four years later.The graphics look a little clunky compared to today's technology, yet there is still enough detail to the cars and race track surroundings to keep me happy.Despite the fact that I obviously am not very good at keeping my car on the track, I think the controls are pretty good.The only annoying thing is that pushing the joystick up honks the horn, and I end up hitting the up arrow to some degree every time I move from left to right and vice versa.One feature I really like is the ability to look behind the car during the race, although this usually sends me right into a wall or tree; any time I actually manage to pass another car, I almost have to look back and watch it eat my dust.The game is truly blessed with many camera angles.After each race, the game automatically shows you an instant replay of the entire race (unless you choose to skip it), shifting between ten different cameras.This means I can watch and see just how horrendous all of my crashes were.

In many ways, the best part of the game is not the actual racing.The first thing you have to do is choose a car, and there are at least nineteen cool little speed demons at your beck and call (and even more later on if and when you have enough cash to move up in the world).If you can't decide which car you want, you can take a trip to the car showroom and hear all sorts of details about the specifications and features of each model available.Serious players can build, update, and customize any car to make it his/her pride and joy, yet really serious players have the high stakes option of putting their money where their mouths are (i.e., racing for pink slips) - you lose the race, you lose your car.

The tracks are really quite diverse and require different driving styles; when you have to deal with a number of hairpin turns, you'd better be a better driver than I am.Different environments help make each race unique, as you might have to battle bad weather, additional passenger traffic, and the darkness of night.Of course, you don't have to just go out there and race cold turkey; you can take all the time you want running test laps and getting a feel for each track.You also have the option of racing in single events or competing in tournaments.

My favorite aspect of this game, though, is the Hot Pursuit option.Here, you can choose either to run from the law or climb inside a police car (which can vary depending on the country in which you are driving) and play Smokey to some other guy's Bandit.You even get to bang against and all but wreck fleeing speeders in your quest to enforce the law.Whichever side of the law you choose to play, you are privy to all sorts of great police radio chatter.Speeders will have to evade not one cop alone but a whole group of them, and these cops coordinate their pursuit tactics.Roadblocks, spike strips, and a bevy of cruisers trying to block you in can all make for quite an exciting challenge.

Need For Speed: High Stakes is getting a little long in the tooth now, as is the original Playstation console, but the game is still a lot of fun to play when you just want to goof around for a little while.Serious gamers will unlock cars and tracks that more casual players may never see for themselves, but any novice can pop in the CD and entertain himself/herself with a world of fun features.

Need For Speed High Stakes
Well i bet the other need for speed games are much better on playstation 2,but on the computer its pretty cool to.all you do in this one is race race and race.The good thingis that you get to pick what car u want,even a cop car!if u look on the back of the thing before u buy it,,well actully,by one point the back does look better then the game.I played this game many times and its great.Pther people say this game is bad because all u do is race and get bonos stuff,its actully the best racing game,other then nascar,i ever played.please listin to me what im tellin you is true.because once you by it your thank me. ...

REAL FISHING IS FUN FISHING
rEAL FISHING IS ONE OF THE BEST FISHING GANMES EVER, FOR PLAYSTATION 1, i LIKE THE RELAXING MUSIC AND THE FISHING IS IN REAL PLACES AND FIGHTING THE FISH IS PRETTY REAL TO THIS GAME IS A FUN GAME AND I CANT WAIT TO BUY THE SECOND ONE.

Reel Fishing ----Please!
This is not one of the best games for fishing, heck I wouldn't place it in the top 500, and I don't believe there are even that many out there, so you get my point.Confusing, bad graphics and just a sad game. We should be apologizing to the fish for this one.....

craphappy waste of 10 bucks
i thought this would be cool 4 stars but i got it the fish look like painted on pieces of paper theres crappy muxic and it plain old sucks

Slims review
wow i can see how anybody can enjoy such a boring, bad graphic, lame excuse for a playstation game.It should be played on gameboy or something of that sort.

Challenging fishing game
I thought this fishing game was great.The price is much lower than some of the other fishing games available.There is really a challenge placed on you to land a fish.Sometimes they never bite and sometimes they breakaway just as you are about to get them to the surface.You go throughlevels of different bodies of water, each time catching a limit of a newtype of fish.You can choose between several rods and lures.One of theunique things about this game is that you can keep your prize fish in atank back at the fishing lodge.You get to name them, watch them, feedthem, etc.A memory card is a must for this game, to save your recordcatches. ...

no send
I order this item on April 27th, and as of May 8 it hasn't been delivered.

A good game that won't appeal to everyone.
Graphics: 6/10 – Not too flash really, there isn’t much to look at here. The aeroplanes look nice when you’re checking out which one to fly in, but in the air, it’s mostly just a nice shade if blue.

Sound: 6/10 – I can remember the background plane noises, but the shooting sounds could’ve been more bang-crash-WAM!

Value: 5/10 – If you play a lot of games that are based around things in the air or aeroplanes, this isn’t the pick of the litter. It is worth buying for a price under $..., but you might not be interested if you aren’t willing to get fly-wise.

Overall: 6/10 – Definitely not a poor game, it will teach you with its intelligence how to fly a simulator plane, but don’t expect the entertainment level to be through the roof.

Good for its time
Many may ask why I would give this game such a high score, its because this game is about four years old. You can't judge it against current games if you simply want to judge its worth. It's an arcade-style flying gamewith graphics which most would consider somewhat dated, however thegameplay is solid and the presentation gives players a fun diversion.

It's a game focused for players who like quick, close combat
I bought this game because there are very few flight simulating games for the Sony Playstation. To be honest, it's not the maximum experience, but you have to be quick to engage the enemy. Especially when it's oncomingdirectly TOWARDS YOU. You have to be quick trying to turn your plane's nosetoward the enemy's plane, try to stay in line with it and shoot your targetas close as you can get, while at the same time you're beeing shot up fromthe ground. I think that's a challenge. I liked the variety of planes andtheir different aerodynamic features. As of the F-117, IT'S A STEALTHAIRCRAFT! IT CANNOT BE AS HIGHLY MANEUVERABLE AS OTHER AIRCRAFT BECAUSE OFTHE CONSTRUCCION MATERIALS USED TO BUILD IT AND THE SHAPE IT HAS!

At Least It's A Flying Game For Playstation...
It's nice to have a air combat game with the sea of driving games for the PlayStation. I would hope they could at least apply some of the attention-to-detail the driving games get. The planes handle like crap (theF-117 stalls at any change in direction and speed), air speed is slow, theflight ceiling is just higher than the roof of your house, and the weaponsare far from true-to-life.The F-14 is a lumbering bullet like in reallife, but the F-14 was created to carry the Phoenix Air-To-Air missile thatcan be fired from hundreds of miles away, yet you have to get your F-14into dogfight situations (it was not meant for that) to lock on at 1000yards because that's the magic number for any aircraft in the Air Combatgame.For $15 it's not a bad game, but I beg and plead for a gamingcompany to put out a real fighter-combat simulator for the PlayStation. ...

Too Easy
The game is really easy if you pick one of the light bikes, and you have to work at it for a while.If you have trouble don't enter the codes, because if you enter the codes you won't get any better.Once you get good at the game use the heavy bikes and try to finish well with them.

The JetMoto Review
Just as a little history lesson JetMoto is made by the same people who made the first two Twisted Metal games and Twisted Metal Black.If that is not reason enough to get this game I will give you some more.For anti-gravity racing fans out there buying JetMoto is an easy decision to make, but for all you other gamers JetMoto is a very challenging game to play, it will definitely test you to your limits.Like Wipout, JetMoto is a futuristic racing game but with a twist.The twist is, what makes it different from Wipeout, it is a mix between anti-gravity racing and MotoCross.The graphics, soundtrack, animations, and soundeffects pull you into the game and never let go.

The graphics in this game are very good for the PS1.The texture maps, water splashes, sand effects, and the waves add to the experience.If you have a PS2 you can smooth the graphics out and make them look even better.

Soundtrack: Now this soundtrack is one of the best I have ever heard, right up there with Wipeout's.The music is exciting and beautifully reflects the environments of each course.

Animations: As you race through each track taking tight turns, you can feel the weight of the craft as your rider pulls on it to just make that turn.And when you get some big air it feels like the rider is actually flying through the air.

Soundeffects: The soundeffects are equally superb.The sound of the jetmoto makes you believe that your really racing on a anti-gravity bike.The water slashes, solid landing sound, turbo boosts are all done extremly well.

Now for the one thing I did not mention above, the controls.If you have played Wipout then you are ready to play JetMoto.If you have never played Wipeout JetMoto's controls are overall good, become difficult in the tight courses.

I'll give you some advise, MASTER THE GRAPPLING HOOK!Some of the tracks are frustratingly hard and if it becomes a little too much to bare go to this web site for cheat codes.(www.ign.com) Despite its few short comings JetMoto is one of the best anti-gravity racing games I have ever played and definetely worth the your money.

cool
There are awesome tracks and stuff. You can do cool stunts and flips and race against others. But, once you get to the harder levels, it gets REAL hard. Did I mention they have cool tracks?

Yes you must buy this
What is everyones problem? This game is not hard...in fact its too easy! Ive beaten it with at least half the people on the master setting getting first place in every race on the master setting with chein, gunner, and miko. I mean cmon at least pu some effort into it. If you think this is hard your gonna die playing Jet Moto 2. This game is really great though. And dont whine about there not being computer opponents in the 2 player mode because if you beat it on the master setting with nine players then a code gives you this setting. In fact all the codes are great except the show off cameras and ice racing. I would definately buy this game, even if its old, its great cheap fun. I have over 40 playstation games and this one is among the best (the best i own is Castlevania SOTN) which slaughters Metal gear Solid. Buy Jet Moto now.

Great game great graphics
This is one of the best water jet games you will find.If you ask me buy it.I think it is great a tiny bit hard control but fine other wise. ... Read more

Wow!
Everyone underrates this but it is actually a lot of fun. I enjoy the gameplay and find that the game is generally exciting. The graphics are not the best, but they get the job done. A good buy of you like football.

Too Old, Too Bad
When this game first came out it was good for that time and it had reasonobly good graphics for that time. Within the next 2 months or so new games and systems started to come out and those games and systems became a lot better and were more fun. Because people thought this game was good at that time so many people bought it, and now poeple are all stuck with it and are trying to sell it for very cheap. This is why there are so many used ones. Let me give you a piece of advice, don't buy this if you still have a playstation and like it, get a game that is closer to this year. You will like it a lot more ... Read more

Football for everyone
This game is a game for people who don't like football games.And if you do like regular style football games, you will enjoy the change.Give it a try, you can't beat the price!

best blitz
Blitz is a really good game it gives you a good amount of plays to do and the new ones are to complicated this has good graphics you can jump on people after the play is over thats fun you can use turbo when you press R1 all the peopl,e i've talked to that have owned the game say it's the best game that is in football if your purchasing it on amazon.com it's a really good price of only [amt].

BEST GAME EVER!
I am a girl who didn't exactly like football- that is, until I got NFL Blitz! I used to act like I was watching a football game, when really I was staring at the cheerleaders! Now I actually watch the game, but the best part is that I understand the plays and why they make certain calls! If you buy this, expect better understanding of football.

The Best Football Game Ever
If you don't have this game, get it right now.

NFL Blitz
I have this video game for the Playstation. I give it a 4 instead of a 5 because (this is just a personal thing) I don't like football that much.But if your a football fan I reccomend this game to you. You can chousefrom any of the NFL football teams and play a single game or play a seasonand try to make it to the Super Boul. ... Read more

Personally I like Cool Boarders 1 better!
Though this adds more to it..I found Cool Boarders one to be smoother and simpler to control. I'm selling this one and buying an older version!

a playstation classic
This is the best game in the Coolboarders game series.This status is due largely to its easy to learn play control and fun modes.The five modes are Competition, Freestyle, Big Air, Halfpipe, and Board Park.The competition mode is a series of 9 sets, starting with a big air round.The best big air tricks combined score wins the 1st place starting position in the next race.2nd highest gets second, and so on.In freestyle, there are 3 courses to start with.Once competition has been won, all 10 courses can be accessed.Big air is simply a trick mode.Halfpipe is the same, only in a halfpipe with a time limit and multiple tricks.Board park is just a leisure mode win which you can ride all over the park doing tricks (to beach boys melodies!! lol)to bring up the "cool" meter.the games modes and boarders are rated here:

Yaggi: Good beginners player, good for tricks, but NOT good on the ice fang.8/10

Jin: Nothing but boarder cross.If you are good at boarder cross (freestyle), use this guy in competitions.If not, use Irin. 6/10

Irin: Good for beginners, has no true weaknesses except speed. 8/10

Cindy: Advanced.Can do anything except the Titan's Toe big air.7/10

Boss: The best.No weaknesses, but cant be used in competition.He is earned after beating the competition on mirror mode. 10/10

Gray: best trickster in the game. unavailable in comp.He is earned after a 38.5 or better on the halfpipe. 10/10

Snowman: really fast, but terrible.Earned afterall the preset freestyle records have been broken. Not available in halfpipe or competition. 4/10

COURSES:

White resort: Easy and fun.8/10

Sunset Downhill: cool, and all about speed. 9/10

Bear in the Forest:Too many trees to have fun.6/10

Railroad Trip:One of the best.Kinda basic and not at the same time. 9/10

Take it Easy: Like the name says: Too easy.5/10

Pipeline Canyon: Long, and ok.8/10

Freezing Point: very advanced, my personal fave.10/10

Winding River.its ok, but not that great.7/10

Snow Ruins: The 2nd hardest, and its really cool.10/10

Dive Into the Cave: Lots of fun, hardest and 3rd best course in the game.9/10

Stadium Kicker: A basic big air, but not enough height for good tricks.6/10

Ice Fang:The best big air.There is plenty of air time.10/10

Titan's Toe: Advanced big air, and its ok.8/10.

All in all, this is a great game and i would recommend it to anyone.The game is also suitable for anyone.Even if you are not a sports fan, this is a game you will love.

It's an O.K game... for a while.
I got this game for my birthday, thinking it would be the best game in the world. It was, for a few hours. I went online, looking for cheats and reviews and saw how great everyone else thought it was too. But then I noticed people talking about mirror levels, and weird characters, tons of combos, and other stuff. I thought it might have been cheats, but they weren't. They were supposed to be in the game, but for some reason, my game was limited to only 4 parks in freestyle and 6 parks in competition. Overall, I liked the game, but I think it could have been more in depth with the parks and how to do the tricks.

The best snowboarding game...EVER!!
This game is a simply unbelieveable ride, with 10 courses, and lots of extras. You start out with only 4 boarders, but by completing tasks, you can earn others, like Boss. The championship mode is great, using all nine courses with lots of competition to almost melt the snow! Then, there is a mirror mode, and a hard mode, both equally great. The freestyle mode allows you to practice the courses and break records in time, trick, and total points. The starting records aren't very hard to beat, but it is fun to beat your own records. Then, there are two modes of Big Air. One mode is a regular trick mode, where you go off one of three ramps and pull the sickest move you possibly can. The other is a trick master mode, where you have to do the trick that appears on screen. Then there is a halfpipe, for pulling off MORE sick tricks for an official score, like the pros. Then, there is a board park, for pulling off even MORE sick tricks off giant ramps, barrels, and even CARS! The board creator is mostly useless, but so what? It's still a good diversion! What I also like is the hardcore soundtrack, chock full of alternative rock songs to bang your head to...or you would if you weren't playing the game. The only con is that the game is not as graphically rich as it could have been, but so what? Graphics don't always matter. Buy this, buy this, buy this, you will not regret it!!

Fun to play, but gets old.
This game is great if you don't have anything better to do. Cool Boarders is really to easy in my opinion. Also after a while the tracks get boring and they start to seem alike which can be confusing. But it's still a cool game, like being able to pick what the person's wearing and being able to create your own snowboard. Also their is a whole lot of tricks,cheat codes, and boards to pick from. ... Read more

Fun Game PLAY IT YOU'LL SEE!!!
This game is pretty fun.But the graphics kind of suck.So beware of the graphics okay.Other than that the game is fun to try and beat my cousin beat and got third place which is just okay.So the game is very fun to beat and you should definitley buy.It's worth every penny of your life.YOU'LL HAVE A LOT OF FUN SO JUST PLAY IT!!!!!! Trust me it probably won't disappoint you.If it does forget every thing I said Okay. BYE!!!!!! HAVE FUN WITH JEREMY McGRATH SUPERCROSS '98 SEE YA!!!!!

Big waste of money
The cover can fool you. It looks like a really cool game but it has terrible graphics and awfull controls. It's slow and doesn't offer many tracks and only two bikes. It doesn't even give you a Yamaha like Jeremyrides. I hope the 2000 version is a little better. Try Moto Racer 2.

A total waste!
A sorry excuse for a "state of the art" racing game: the camera jerks, it's slow, and the max speed is 15 mph.I can't even tell when to switch to 3rd gear because it displays your speed on a green bar, not telling you how fast you are going.Even if you decide to make your owntrack, it is so hard to do, it isn't even worth it.I just hope the 2000version is better.Don't even bother taking out your checkbook; just moveright along to the next game. ...
