    With great graphics, excellent sound effects and some of the most fun and hilarious characters I’ve seen in any recent PC game, Bandits: Phoenix Rising is one of the best car combat games you can get for your PC.

    We are well aware that this game has a very simple story, but thanks to the crazy action, a competent AI and great graphics and music, it managed to create an interesting and involving atmosphere which will make you eagerly anticipate what comes next.
  3. Adrenaline Vault

    A truly fresh and fun experience. While the plot is nothing to write home about, the furious combat action - which is far more mobile than in most action shooters - is utterly addictive.

    It’s the ham sandwich of shooter games. It won’t knock you on your ass with an explosion of flavor, nor will it bore you to tears with plainness, but mmmmmm, when the ham combines with the mustard, boy is it tasty.

    The game's arcade-like action can be fun at times, but its difficulty level and lack of mid-mission saves will quickly make it too frustrating for many players.
  6. GameSpot

    Good enough graphics, good enough sound, good enough mission design, and good enough action.
  7. Yahoo!

    The racing in Bandits: Phoenix Rising is not that compelling, and the shooting loses its appeal after the first mission.

    The game is almost perfect. Single-player missions load very quickly and the graphics look really good for such an old game. I still play thisThe game is almost perfect. Single-player missions load very quickly and the graphics look really good for such an old game. I still play this game in 2016, 14 years after they released the game and i still like it.

    The only thing that i didn't like that there is no sequel or anything that adds to this game, which is sad..
    Great game!
