  1. We need more humor in our gaming diet, and "Citizen Kabuto" delivers that sandwiched between a tasty dose of shooting excitement and the condiments of an acceptable (but not perfect) PC to PS2 port.

    Laugh-out-loud, knee-slapping, "I can't believe that just happened" humor. [Dec 2001, p.164]

    A great concept, brutally funny and accompanied by some beautiful sweeping melodies, but it suffers from some basic technical flaws and dips of interest in gameplay.
  4. The PC version featured some jaw-dropping graphics, but the PS2 version will put your jaw back on. It doesn't look bad, per se, but it hardly holds a candle to the PC.

    A very overlooked action adventure game, that never got a sequel. It is full of nice humour and cool characters. Overall rating: 8.3.
