CCIV: Game of the Year 2001 - Round Seven

[Neon Ignition]

The seventh round of the year opens up, the next 60 titles all thinking they can dethrone the current front runners line up...


Which of the above games are amongst the best of 2001 and why?

That's a lot of sports.

Onimusha is a fun little classic Resi-style game in a Samurai setting.

Shout out to MOTAS - Mystery Of Time And Space.
This is a game my wife has played several times and shown to many years of pupils whilst teaching.
I think we need to celebrate games that don't necessarily play like other games and engage new players.

Loved Onimusha, but it's way too short.

Also, didn't vote for it but shout-out to Mortal Kombat Advance, which might be, and I'm not exaggerating here, the worst game on the platform and one of the worst games ever released. I hadn't realised because in screenshots it doesn't look so bad, but I saw a YouTube video about it recently and it's absolutely horrific.

I don’t think there’s anything there that I would vote for tbh.

Outtrigger might have been a contender had I played it? The lack of online for the PAL release resulted in me giving it a miss though.

Only game of any note i played was bungie's Oni on PC, a sequel with bugs ironed out, and a dedicated block/parry button would have made it a top franchise.

New York Race is weird, it’s based on The Fifth Element and for some reason various characters from the film have decided to have a series of races.
