    A tough but unrewarding arcade-action game that's fun to look at and worth checking out..for about 10 minutes. [Nov 2004, p.144]

    Well, it's not all that wild and/or wacky. In all actuality, it's kinda mundane and uninteresting.

    Quirk enthusiasts will be disappointed, mainstream gamers will only find more to support their suspicions about those "weird" games, and Capcom is in danger of believing that small, strange games like this won't do well.

    Unlike the sublime, budget-friendly "Katamari Damacy," this game sells for full price. It may be worth a rental, but Under the Skin proves that being simple, weird, and quirky just isn’t good enough on its own.

    Where "Gregory" and "Joe" were as often inventive and ingenious as they were incomparable to anything else on the shelves, Under The Skin's clever thinking dried up before it even made it off the blackboard.

    Unfortunately, the erratic camera is annoying and the game too quickly becomes repetitive.

    Better suited as a free online Flash game than something sold at retail. It fails to live up to its odd premise and relies too heavily on being offbeat, ultimately turning into more of a cute diversion than a full-fledged game.

    It’s a sad waste of programming, and I still shower twice daily in the hopes that the stench of the game will come off. It’s ultimately like a fungal infection on DVD – foul-smelling, painful, and a relief to dispose.

I didn't play this when I was a child. it would have been so cool playing with other kids but today with my lonely PS2 all these years later I think that it is made to date to find somebody to play it I hope I will someday. the story mode is all fun and is one of them good ways to get some value out of the experience I would recommend playing on hard normal because it is fun… Full Review »
