PSM MagazineNo longer an utter mess, but it still isn't in the same league as the top PS2 football games. [Oct 2002, p.30]
-
Official U.S. Playstation MagazineGameDay has earned my respect, but "Madden" has earned my $50. [Oct 2002, p.148]
-
Not even the usefulness of hot routes and a lean (but lonely) online mode can keep this horse from being dead last on a three-way race.
-
Matches up decently to last year's Madden and Sega offerings, but those games are doubtlessly improved this year.
-
Until 989 finds their niche and polishes the basics, they will always be underdogs on the virtual football field.
-
After playing GD 2003, I won't think of the series as a laughingstock anymore. The game has earned my respect, but it still has a while to go.
-
Faster, better looking, and multiplayer friendly (thank you online play), the developers are back on track with its philosophy of "real football"...[but] the Madden and 2K series are still safely on top.
-
If this were an actual NFL season, Madden 2003s record would be 14-2, NFL 2K3 would be 13-3, and GameDay 2003 would squeak by into the virtual football playoffs as a wildcard with an 9-7 record.
-
While not in the same league as the "Madden" series or "NFL 2K3," Sony's latest PlayStation 2 football title is fun and accessible.
-
A perfect example of a game that doesn't have any serious problems but doesn't do anything to really set itself apart, making it difficult to recommend because there are better alternatives available.
-
A huge advancement over last years poor efforts...probably the best GameDay to date, but it is still not enough to match the polish and quality of "NFL 2K3" or Madden.
