    I've been playing this since the 1st one. It's a great game, but I beat it in a few days (I'm good)! I can't wait 'til the next one!

    Not forgetting that humorous rabbit, the map with labyrinth and the smaller wizard being. Outbreak has a fine team, the positive is it is as final fantasy and xenosaga with turn base fight layouts which seem to be most wanted. The star ocean although for playstation 3 not playstation 2 is also that way. Neat though when use to the others and need rest then finding this would change ofNot forgetting that humorous rabbit, the map with labyrinth and the smaller wizard being.

  1. PSM Magazine

    Though the basic premise and gameplay are still solid, the cut and paste approach for each installment is spreading a bit thin three games in. [Oct 2003, p.30]
  2. Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

    Despite the terribly repetitive combat (broken up by an absolutely terrific trio of boss battles), I still had lots of fun - although it was largely due to the way I played the game. [Oct 2003, p.115]
  3. The absorbing plot and compelling gameplay held my interest the whole time. But, please remember, this rating is based on playing the game with a character that completed "Mutation."
