  1. Brilliant, brilliant and brilliant. Everything the last game was plus everything you ever wanted. [PSM2]

    This imaginatively titled sequel is far from a massive step up, but all of the changes and new additions make that small step seem so much bigger than it really is.
  3. A surprisingly solid squad-based shooter that relies just as much on tactics as brute force.
  4. Full of intense action and with just enough of a tactical dimension to make it special enough to earn a place in most gamers' collections.

    It's rare that a game with average sound, graphics and an uncooperative control system can still be enjoyed for hours at a time anyway.

    I am scoring this lower than the Xbox version because it lacks four-player support, which is the preferred way to experience this game. [Nov. 2003, p.153]

    This game is simply a heck of a lot of fun to play with a friend.

The graphics may not be stunning (even back then) but I didn't care about graphics while playing this game. Very tactical. Even better when in co-op. My friends and I had a blast playing this game together. Short game however. Full Review »
