Current Previews for February 2000 |
WWF SmackDown! |
Yes, it's got nifty
FMV, but no Grandmaster Sexay? What kind of game is that? |
Wild Arms 2 |
An RPG with charm and
character, at just the right time to fill what's no longer a niche. |
Hot Shots Golf 2 |
Superdeformed cool is
replaced by an ugly fat guy, but the game proper is as solid as ever. |

finer than ever - Sega fields a winner in the GT racing ranks. |
Vagrant Story |
The creators of an
amazing strategy game follow with an amazing 3D action-RPG. |
Rollcage Stage II |
Hey, Pooch, are you
happy now? I would be, if only this game would let me drive backwards. |
Tenchu 2 |
GRO [heart] slitting
throats. Sorry, Mom, but Tenchu is just way too much fun. |
Star Trek: Invasion |
Quit watching your
console go pop in front of you and get up close and personal with the action. |
Faselei |
Crush them, Toy
Soldier! No, no, it just doesn't have that same ring to it. |
Rhapsody |
After years and years
of classic RPG music, an RPG that brings the soundtrack to the fore. |
Grandia II |
If you don't know this
will be great, you must not know too much about Game Arts' record. |
MediEvil 2 |
Our first go at Sir
Dan's return gets a thumbs up, if for nothing other than the Thing homage. |
Turok 3 |
This time, you get to
do battle with Oblivion - the comics never run out of these guys, do they? |
Macross VF-X 2 |
Free as a bird...that's
suspended in a tasty, colorful Jell-O mold. |
SW E1 Racer DC |
A mouthful of a title,
but it still looks great - if you want to play the movie, this is your chance. |
Daikatana 64 |
John Romero obviously
has a powerful vision here, but does the 64 have what it takes? |
Speed Punks |
Not as much depth as
the best of kart racers, but superior graphics and style. |

Still racing on
skateboards, but there's much more to do between points A and B. |

The promise of dark
future action and a fascinating style has us captivated. |
Chase The Express |
Hunt down terrorists on
that most reliable of action settings, a speeding train. |
Alundra 2 |
It's Matrix's first
shot at 3D - movies, screens, and a fairly strong thumbs-up inside. |

W Impact has the mighty
animation, but Alpha 3 has the wonderful World Tour. |
Nightmare Creatures 2 |
A grim, violent, and
undeniably absorbing game is at hand - much information inside. |
4-Wheel Thunder |
We'd rather play this
than Buggy Heat, but, well, we'd rather play Crazy Taxi than either. |

little animals - don't tell my mother I played this one. |

beautiful feats of 2D art we've ever seen.. |

always welcome, particularly one this good-looking. |

the finest names in platforming, on yet another sysrtem. |
