  1. The PS2’s slowdown monster rears its ugly head from time to time, mainly during huge (5+ monsters on screen) fights.

    The cutscenes look good, and surprisingly, the voice acting is some of the best I've heard lately. [Nov 2002, p.128]

    It's just too long. The game takes about 20 hours to complete but in my opinion, it would have been ten times better if it was half as long. The game becomes very repetitive in virtually all areas including the gameplay, environments and sounds.
  4. Delivers some great style but lacks in the depth department.
  5. The tone, the foreboding mood, and the massive amounts of action that you’ll undergo can make up for its shortcomings. Science fiction fans will probably eat this one up.

    This game should have been called confusing as hell. But still a fun challenging game.

    This game was...meh. It had some good moments, and the shooting mechanic was an interesting idea, but the game overall is just not that great.This game was...meh. It had some good moments, and the shooting mechanic was an interesting idea, but the game overall is just not that great. Also, they honestly could've picked a better name for a game that's trying to be more serious. Full Review »

    Hard, good game play, good story line, fun to play and easy to get into, but does have a slow start. Good time consuming game.
