  1. 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.

    Laugh-out-loud, knee-slapping, "I can't believe that just happened" humor. [Dec 2001, p.164]
  3. 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.

    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.

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