Jet Moto 3 |  |
|||
| Futuristic racer which has you flying around a variety of terrains on hover bikes. Jet Moto 3 is a huge improvement over its predecessors, the handling is much better, the sense of speed is incredible, and the graphics are rich and colourful too. | |||||

Bloody Roar 2 |  |
|||
| A fast paced and accessible 3D fighting game where each of the game's characters can morph into animal forms. Its not the deepest fighter out there, but its a fun, frenetic, and likeable title with some very nice graphical effects and style. | |||||

Team Buddies |  |
|||
| Action orientated real time strategy game where you retrieve boxes, take them back to your base and then use them to create more units or equipment. The game's real strong point is its frenetic 4-player split screen mode, with the action focused gameplay and easy to learn strategy elements making for a perfect party game. Word of warning for those easily offended, the original European release (not the US version) contains some really bad language and cultural stereotypes which can get pretty extreme at times. | |||||

Speed Freaks |  |
|||
| A nice kart racing game, Speed Freaks managed to bring some Mario Kart quality 4-player split screen fun to the Playstation. The game isn't a mere clone either, its a much more technical game than most kart racers, with handling requiring a good level of judgement, and precision, and the careful usage of speed boosts of utmost importance. Its not quite as fun or polished as Crash Team Racing, but personally I find it to be the more unique experience, so its still well worth checking out. | |||||

NHL 2000 |  |
|||
| Superb hockey game with smooth, responsive gameplay, impressive (for its time) commentary, and loads of stats, options and features that should keep even the most discerning hockey fan happy. | |||||

Real Bout Dominated Mind |  |
|||
| I think this has to be the best of SNKs 2d fighting games on PS1. With Dominated Mind SNK wisely decided against straight porting Real Bout Special to the system, instead re-working the game to create an experience which worked better within the confines of the Playstation architecture. Here the plane switching has been removed entirely, but the gameplay runs well, the characters and fighting engine have been tweaked, with some new moves and techniques, and there's a new playable character, and setting for the plot. | |||||

Silhouette Mirage |  |
|||
| This entry is for the original Japanese version of the game (I've heard the US version is inferior). Silhouette Mirage is an interesting take on the 2D platform shooter, in it your character changes colour depending on the direction she is facing, and only enemies of the opposite colour take damage, whilst those of the same colour become weaker with each hit. The game is full of clever level designs and memorable boss fights and is definitely one of the must play 2D titles on the system. | |||||

Worms Armageddon |  |
|||
| The Worms series of videogames are very accessible turn based strategy games where the aim is to command a squad of four worms to wipe out the opposition using a variety of humourous weapons. This sequel is mainly just a graphical improvement, but all the charm and addictive gameplay have been transferred over totally intact, and the original idea was already so well realised to begin with that this isn't really much of an issue. | |||||

Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit |  |
|||
| A very fun arcade racing game with nice graphics, good course designs, and a great sense of speed. What makes the game stand out is the addition of police cars and road blocks, creating some exhilarating cop chases and exciting gameplay. | |||||

Doom |  |
|||
| Everyone interested in gaming knows Doom, this is one of the most important titles of all time, and pioneered the whole first person shooter genre. The game has you running through corridors shooting enemies, and collecting keys, with nonstop action and loads of atmosphere being the main orders of the day. Doom on Playstation was a very early release (the game itself predates the Playstation by nearly a year), and games moved on a lot during the Playstation's life span, but the fact is that it does still stand up to many of the newer releases for the system, which really stands to its quality. It may not be the most impressive FPS title for PS1, but it still manages to be one of the best. | |||||
