Official U.S. Playstation MagazineThe whole thing just feels like one big accident. [July 2002, p.101]
-
The good bits are like needles lost in the giant haystack of the ones that aren't so good.
-
Delving more than an hour or two into the game becomes painful.
-
The fighting system found within Shifters is guaranteed to make just about anyone cringe. Calling it simple is a horrid understatement.
-
Play MagazineThere's a lack of polish on display here, AI and collision problems, and the platforming is ugly. [Aug 2002, p.70]
-
I had some fun playing among the incredible amounts of both confusion and boredom.
-
The game really doesn't offer anything interesting aside from the whole shape-shifting thing, which is does poorly. With empty battles and bland side-quests, the point of it all is lost.
-
The control and camera bugs made it somewhat frustrating to keep trying to progress, the enemy AI made it dull and too easy to battle, the side quests were mostly silly and I didn’t want to do them.
-
The AI in Shifters is absolutely laughable. Enemies get caught up on walls, chairs, corners - standing to the side of a door and repeatedly hacking an enemy in the head kills the heroic atmosphere deader than Cher's career.
-
It may carry a $20 price tag, but even at half that price, the technically flawed gameplay and dated production values add up to a gaming experience that's hardly justifiable.

Electronic Gaming MonthlyC'mon, we're talking about a hack-and-slasher with stationary pinatas for targets here! [August 2002, p.126]
