PS2 Reviews Comments
Tekken Tag Tournament
 * Tekken Tag is fantastically playable despite the bare-faced cheek of pretending to be something it clearly isn't. Undeniably brilliant but it could have been so much more...

Timesplitters
 * Timesplitters is a fun frantic and inventive first person shooter that every Playstation 2 gamer should buy. Yesterday

Ridge Racer V


 * Ridge Racer V will please as a launch game, but it's just not as good as you thought it was going to be. Lack of originality and unforgivable graphical failings mar a great game.

SSX
 * If Playstation 2 ever needed an advertisement, SSX is it. Slick, speedy and extremely addictive.
