Final Fantasy X (Square) (PlayStation 2 (EU Version))

The Final Fantasy you know (and quite possibly love) dressed up finer than you've ever seen it before.

Deus Ex (Eidos) (PlayStation 2 (EU Version))

A triumphant multi-genre fusion that will leave you shell-shocked in amazement. Buy it now!

LMA Manager 2002 (Codemasters) (PlayStation 2 (EU Version))

Sets the bar high for any football management games to follow. It will be a tough one to beat.

Blood Omen 2 (Eidos) (PlayStation 2 (EU Version))

A powerful storyline is let down slightly by gameplay that offers little originality. Definitely enjoyable, but we were hoping to get our teeth into something juicier.

ISS 2 (Konami) (PlayStation 2 (EU Version))

A solid arcade footy game. But with Pro Evolution Soccer on the block, who needs a new kid?

Sled Storm (Electronic Arts) (PlayStation 2 (EU Version))

Playing like a motorised version of SSX Tricky, this is indecently enjoyable to play.

Super Trucks (BigBen Interactive) (PlayStation 2 (EU Version))

A full-on simulation of truck racing would have been welcome, but this arcade interpretation lacks sophistication and is just too tiresome.

Grandia II (Ubisoft) (PlayStation 2 (EU Version))

An RPG of trade-offs. A big game, but poorly visualised; interesting combat, but repetitive, rarely captivating gameplay.

Conflict Zone (Ubisoft) (PlayStation 2 (EU Version))

Solid and functional, Conflict Zone does little you haven't seen before in an RTS, although media intrusion makes for a novel twist.

Lake Masters EX (Midas) (PlayStation 2 (EU Version))

Don't be tempted by the price tag, this is like being slapped with a wet kipper!

Casper: Spirit Dimensions (TDK) (PlayStation 2 (EU Version))

Tricky to start with, then fun... for about 24 minutes.

EOE: Eve Of Extinction (Eidos) (PlayStation 2 (US Version))

Some good ideas, but they just don't gel. The end result is a tedious, button-bashing trudge through the burnt-out shell of a great game.

All-Star Baseball 2003: Featuring Derek Jeter (Acclaim) (PlayStation 2 (EU Version))

Highly detailed, very playable and well worth a look for sport sim fans.

Frank Herbert's Dune (Cryo) (PlayStation 2 (EU Version))

Just about the worst action/adventure on the PS2. An inept take on a decent story.

Mad Maestro! (Fresh Games) (PlayStation 2 (EU Version))

Thanks to innovative use of the Dual Shock 2's analogue buttons and a unique setting, this builds to a challenging crescendo. A fine addition to the rhythm action genre.

Top Angler 2 (Xicat) (PlayStation 2 (EU Version))

Actually reels in a few good fish amongst the old bikes and wellies.

Atlantis III: The New World (Cryo) (PlayStation 2 (EU Version))

Seriously, if you want something illogical and frustrating, get a girlfriend instead of this.

Mr. Moskeeto (Fresh Games) (PlayStation 2 (EU Version))

Beyond the innovative game concept and neat control method, Mr. Moskeeto is a little limited. Would have suited a lower price.

G1 Jockey (Koei) (PlayStation 2 (EU Version))

Horse racing comes to PS2 at a steady canter rather than a gallop... Nothing if not intriguing, though.

Panzer Front BIS (JVC) (PlayStation (JP Version))

Even if you completed the original game, don't be afraid to shell out for this.
