If you love platformers, you must buy Rayman 2: The Great Escape -- it's that simple. If you mildly enjoy platformers, you must buy the game. Here's why: it's a remarkable 3D platformer that delivers on all ends. Flawless control; huge, stretching worlds; extremely clever puzzles; loads of variety. And it's all brought together with some of the very best graphics yet seen on Nintendo 64. This is a deep, rich platformer that must be experienced. I've got very few gripes with the title. Perhaps my biggest complaint -- and it's not very significant at all -- is a sometimes-jittery camera system. When I write 'sometimes,' though, what I really mean is 'rarely.' Also, N64's dithering filter is overused here, but only the comic book storeowner in The Simpsons is actually going to care about such a thing, as Rayman 2 looks stunning all the same. Having played through Rayman 2 extensively, I've no problems recommending it wholeheartedly as one of my favorite games for the console. A brilliant platformer all around that is definitely worth every penny.

Verdict Test Drive 6 has a lot of good features, such as the realistic driving physics (which many will overlook because of the arcade-style crashes), variety of tracks and the numerous licensed vehicles. But the game lacks a great sense of speed and the horrid background graphics actually hurt the gameplay. It's okay for a track to have blind turns, but it shouldn't be something that is caused by the grainy graphics that don't allow you to differentiate separate background elements. Test Drive 6 isn't necessarily a bad game, it just doesn't contend with the likes of Gran Turismo, Need for Speed, or Ridge Racer. It is an improvement over Test Drive 5, but I gave it a lower score because more improvements were needed considering its current competition.

Gripes aside, if you rented this for another system and liked it or have been patiently waiting for the Dreamcast edition before buying, this is the still the definitive version of WWF Attitude. The improved look, the fun of pounding on a buddy (two-player mode is where the game really shines), and the endless amount of time you can spend creating your own oversized drop-kicker makes Acclaim's last effort in the world of Vinnie Mac a good one.

The game feels a bit like Excitebike, looks a hell of a lot like Excitebike ¿ but you know what? I want Excitebike. I think it's time Nintendo got a development team on converting the original NES game to the Game Boy Color. But in the interim, Motocross Maniacs 2 is a great game that starts out a little on the boring side, but gets much better with the more complex courses. It's no Excitebike...but it's close.

I can remember back more than three years ago when Tonic Trouble was still called Ed. It was one of Nintendo 64's first promised titles, and at the time I had hopes that it might actually one-up Super Mario 64. Three years later the wait, in my opinion, has not been worth it. Tonic Trouble is a generic, lifeless platformer and in spite of sharing much of the same features that somehow work wonderfully for Rayman 2, nothing seems to click together as it should for this title. While nothing, including control, design or graphics, can be described as poor, none of it is exceptionally good either. We are left with a game that is neither particularly good nor bad. Had Banjo-Kazooie, Super Mario 64, Donkey Kong 64 and Ubi Soft's own Rayman 2 not existed, Tonic Trouble might have impressed Nintendo 64 owners. Unfortunately though, they do and it doesn't.

Taking everything into consideration, Marvel vs. Capcom is an excellent post-launch purchase. With the mini-glut of fighting titles available for the system by the end of October, this is definitely one of your better choices, if not the best. It's certainly the best 2D title on the system until Street Fighter Alpha 3 rolls into town, so don't pass this one up.
