    Death By Degrees is such an underrated game.
    It has it's flaws yes, such as long loading times and sometimes bad camera angle, but the gameplay once mastered is a ton of fun. Tekken's Nina fans will love it and others should give it a chance too. It's a game that could have had a lot of potential.

    Why there's no training mode to practice the thumb-blistering combinations is baffling and only the truly dedicated will be able to pull off some of the harder moves in battle. [Feb 2005, p.83]
  2. Play Magazine

    Filled with enough espionage, illegal arms trade, intrigue and terrorist activity to make James Bond run for cover. [Feb 2005, p.63]
  3. All of Death by Degrees' good points - impressive graphics, entertaining sniper scenes, solid upgrade and combo systems, unorthodox analog fighting that actually works well - are offset by poor enemy A.I. and one of the most user-unfriendly camera systems I've encountered in a long time. [March 2005, p.121]
