Crazy Taxi (GameCube)
|
The arcade version of Crazy Taxi was a massive hit, with its high speed driving and pounding soundtrack. Creators, Sega, ported it over to the Dreamcast where it sold by the bucket-load, and now its available for the PS2, the Xbox and the GameCube. And its superb. The aim of the game is simple. Drive a ludicrously fast taxi and make oodles of cash as quickly as possible--easy! Choosing from one of four drivers, each with their own skill set, the player needs to locate and pick up pote..

NBA Courtside 2002
|
The keys to a successful basketball video game are its controls, artificial intelligence and the pacing of the game. NBA Courtside excels in all these facets, with only a few drawbacks. One is in the defensive AI, which often leaves itself open to dunks and fast breaks and is generally a slouch when it comes to rebounds.

Tony Hawks Pro Skater 3 (GameCube)
|
The best extreme-sports game gets even better in Tony Hawks Pro Skater 3. The elements that made the first two games (on the PlayStation) a success are back: tight controls, a deep trick system, a wide selection of skaters (including Tony Hawk, Bucky Lasek, Rodney Mullen, Chad Muska, Elissa Steamer and others) and a slick soundtrack (featuring the Ramones, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Motorhead, KRS-One, Redman and more). Adding to the already brilliant formula is a new trick and GameCube-enhan..
