  1. A surprisingly solid squad-based shooter that relies just as much on tactics as brute force.
  2. 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.
  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.

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

    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]

    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.

My friends and I had a blast playing this game together. Short game however. Full Review »
