PSM3 Magazine UKLooks fantastic, sounds fantastic and plays...well, not quite so fantastically, but it's still fun. [Nov 2006, p.70]
-
Perhaps most importantly, it’s fun. Repetitive and glitchy in places maybe, but that hook will keep you reeling out those sweary one liners at hostages and putting security guards’ faces through vending machines until the conclusion.
-
Fans of the movie are going to be put off by an extended story and characters that don’t live up to the original.
-
The tie-in with the movie makes this average game good but let’s not forget that at the core this is just an average game. If anything it makes me want to see the movie again.
-
Although the overall atmosphere is far removed from the tense, dialogue-heavy trappings of the film, this is a consistently enjoyable action game that will keep you entertained for the few hours it lasts.
-
It's acceptably action-packed, but if it hadn't been patterned after Quentin Tarantino's signature film, you'd probably have forgotten it exists by now.
-
Play UKThe problem is that everything away from the game itself - in other words the game itself - is genuinely weak. [Issue 145, p.76]
-
Unfortunately, the cartoony graphics, stilted shooter gameplay, and completely rancid car missions fail what could otherwise be a passing game.
-
While the story itself is quite compelling and the premise is very interesting, the numerous technical problems keep this title from ever achieving its true potential.
-
Reservoir Dogs has more major flaws regarding the core gameplay, and because it takes a more direct and linear approach, can't cover up the minor problems with open-ended adventure.
-
Official Playstation 2 Magazine UKA bad idea executed only slightly better. [Oct 2006, p.97]
-
Reservoir Dogs won't appeal to hardcore aficionados of the film; the almost-total omission of the original cast and likenesses will probably cause fans to attempt a bullet festival of their own.
-
PSM MagazineEnemies spawn from nowhere, and missions are more repetitive and dull than "Just Cause," but with no crazy parachute. [Jan 2007]
