Computer Gaming WorldA marginalized blockbuster. [June 2004, p.81]
-
Although the brain-dead enemy AI remains unchanged, Athena Sword is a worthy expansion.
-
If you still find yourself playing "Raven Shield" instead of the newer FPSs though, Athena Sword will only make you fall in love with it all over again. [May 2004, p.107]
-
Computer Games MagazineThe multiplayer maps and modes in Athena Sword are arguably worth the price; the single-player missions are just icing on the tasty tactical cake. [July 2004, p.65]
-
Me, I'll dish out a just 6.5 and demand that the next time a scant offering of maps and modes are going to be released, they'd better cost exactly $5 or exactly nothing.
-
Cheat Code CentralA decent enough expansion pack but I can't help but feel that it's taking advantage of its fans. At $30 U.S., the game only offers the bare minimum of new gameplay features.
-
The question instead should be, "Is the price tag worth the day or two of campaigning I will get out of the moderately small amount of new action?" That will be left up to the individual soldier to answer.
-
It's entertaining in all the right ways, but just like Gates and Price, it's all a bit too predictable.
-
Doesn't justify the relatively hefty price tag. Owners of the original game who are not fanatical about "Raven Shield" are better off downloading the patches and sticking to the original multiplayer.

JasonB.Feb 5, 2004Yawn. Another Ubi miss. This shooter stuff is getting boring. Ubi really likes to recycle what they already released a year prior. Not impressive.
