Reviews[]
"Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped - PlayStation - Andy Dyer
- Crash Bandicoot 3 is easily the best platformer the PlayStation has to offer. Buy it now!"
"Spyro the Dragon - PlayStation - Tom East
- It looks great, it's fantastic fun, and you'll want to play it until you go mad in the head!"
"Actua Soccer 3 - PlayStation - Tom East
- You can play as Hull City, and Actua Soccer 3 plays like them"
"FIFA 99 - PlayStation - Matthew Hunkin
- A massive improvement on World Cup '98. Well worth it!"
"Tomb Raider III - PlayStation - Andy Dyer
- Yet another amazing sequel from Lara Croft's gang. But this is so hard. Good luck. You'll need it!"
"Cool Boarders 3 - PlayStation - Tom East
- It gets better all the time. Cool Boarders 3 is up there with the racing greats. Get it now, you fools!"
"TOCA 2: Touring Cars - PlayStation - Tom East
- TOCA 2 is loads better than TOCA. It looks and sounds great, but it's a bit too hard."
"Brian Lara Cricket - PlayStation - Matthew Hunkin
- The PlayStation's very first cricket game is a huge hit."
"Music - PlayStation - Tom East
- Make great music without spending thousands of pounds on equipment."
"Michael Owen's World League Soccer 99 - PlayStation - Matthew Hunkin
- If this is what World League soccer is like, we'll stick to Nationwide League, thanks!"
"NFL Xtreme - PlayStation - Uncredited
- Too light-weight for touchdown fans and too complicated for beginners. Just like Blackburn, it can't win."
"Formula 1 98 - PlayStation - Uncredited
- Dodgy control and not pleasant to look at, this is the Carlton Palmer of racing games."
"Psybadek - PlayStation - Uncredited
- It's partly platformer, and partly racer, but mostly a waste of time."
"B-Movie - PlayStation - Uncredited
- A huge shoot-'em-up stuffed with colour and fun. And mad green aliens too."
"Small Soldiers - PlayStation - Uncredited
- It isn't a patch on Doom or Tomb Raider 3 despite being roughly a mix of the two."
"International Superstar Soccer Pro 98 - PlayStation - Uncredited
- The best football game in the It world. It is an essential buy."
"Apocalypse - PlayStation - Uncredited
- Despite Bruce Willis adding little to Apocalypse, it's still a splendid romp of a platform shoot-'em-up."
"Croc: Legend of the Gobbos - PlayStation - Tom East
- Only the mad or the very bored would attempt to finish this game. The makers forgot that shouting ""Wahey"" is not the secret to good gameplay. There's much better 3D stuff out now."
"Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee - PlayStation - Andy Dyer
- This is not your average cutesy platformer - oh no. Be warned by the spooky music and heavy metal bass drum get ready to be savaged. Your face will be gnawed by pink dogs, your heart torn out by scrabs and your head shot at by green squids on legs. It's a puzzler and a platformer rolled into one. In short, Abe's Oddysee is genius. Get it now, then get the sequel."
"International Superstar Soccer Pro - PlayStation - Matthew Hunkin
- It's the second best footy game ever made (second only to ISS Pro '98, of course). And it's a steal at under 20 quid."
