Comments
Viewtiful Joe - 93%


 * With mad-ass fighting and some of the cleverest puzzles we've ever seen, this is an experience unlike any other. It'll have you screaming in anger and springing out of your seat in delight.

Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge - 78%


 * Grunty's Revenge is good fun, but its limited scope and those age-old annoying issues with the isometric perspective stop it from being the smash hit that we all wanted it to be..

Freedom Fighters - 88%


 * We were expecting a dog of a game, but we were wrong. This is a highly entertaining war sim and the strategic elements enhance the fun. You'll feel like a real soldier in command! Check it out..

Super Bust-A-Move All Stars - 78%


 * We're always willing to while away a few hours bursting bubbles, but this isn't perfect and, to be honest, we think it should've been. Is this the end of the line for the bubble-blowing series?

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Chaos Bleeds - 81%


 * A likeable adventure that'll have fans enraptured. The clumsy combat can lead to untimely deaths, but massive levels, clever puzzles and free-roaming gameplay make this a treat even for non-vampire hunters.

Megaman Zero 2 - 70%


 * It's hard to recommend to anyone but sadists and there are far better action games on GBA already. Would we miss Megaman if he packed up his space suit and buggered off? Probably not.

Conflict Desert Storm 2 - 84%


 * A real improvement over the original, this has everything combat fans could desire. Persevere with the control shortcomings and you'll uncover a game full of action, stealth, advanced tactics and cool war toys..
