In its day, Snowboard Kids was a fun little racer that wasn't bad to look at. Unfortunately, by today's standards Snowboard Kids 2 -- virtually an upgrade to the original -- just doesn't compete. The game's slow-paced racing and simplistic tricks systems, admittedly fun at times, grow old quickly and visually even last year's 1080 Snowboarding looks 100% better. Good for younger gamers, but hard-core snowboarding fans will no doubt be turned off by the game. Worth a rental.

It's depressing that developer Culture Brain has all these great ideas, but not enough technical know-how to make a good game out of them. I like the ability to customize the tournaments and the game definitely scores some brownie points with us for trying something new, but what good are these features when the game engine can't keep up? Hopefully, some fighting game developers out there will look at Flying Dragon and be inspired to add an item system to their titles as well. Imagine a game in the Tekken style with the ability to earn new body armor, new weapons, or upgrade the characters RPG-style.

When I first saw Square's Einhander on PlayStation, I was hoping for a revival of one of my favorite genres from the 16-bit days. Even better, only weeks later Hudson announced that it was bringing back the NES classic Star Soldier for N64. I was excited -- until I got to play the game. Seriously, play R-Type, Twinbee, Parodius, Axelay, Raiden. Each one of these titles is more original and Axelay even looks better graphically than Star Soldier. An embarassing feat, considering that the latter runs on the SNES... The bottomline is this: If you're itching to play an old-style overhead shooter, give this a rent. Just be warned that it's dreadfully uninspired and gets old quickly. I wouldn't buy it for more than $20. Shooting fans should stick with Dezaemon, a Japan-only N64 app that lets you create your own Star Soldier style shooters.

It's no secret that I'm a big fan of Konami's ISS series, but I have to admit that FIFA 99 is right up there on the winner's podium for best console soccer game. FIFA still doesn't have the smoothness of ISS, but its presentation, incredible number of moves, strong AI, and beautiful medium/hi-res graphics run circles around Konami's game. The new custom league modes are great and make for an engaging one-player experience, but hook up three more controllers and you'll be in soccer heaven. Control is much tighter than in its predecessor, but I'm still waiting for that one soccer game that combines the smoothness of ISS with the options and presentation of FIFA. A definite upgrade from World Cup 98 in all respects (player creation mode, league play), but owners of the previous FIFA game will want to look for some kind of a trade-in offer. Good job, EA.
