Without Warning has a lot of technical problems, and they can make play repetitive and aggravating. But taking out wave upon wave of terrorists can be fun. It is not high art, but it tries too hard to escape the fun, lighthearted game it really is.
-
This hackneyed terrorist shooter is without story, without characters, without originality, and most importantly, without fun.
-
TotalGames.netWithout Warning fails miserably at whatever it set out to achieve. A lousy camera and ropey AI take a lot away from the cinematic style, and the sheer weight of repetition involved in the missions does little to expand on an idea that could have become a great title.

Play MagazineTestosterone carries Warning. It does not carry it very far, nor very fast. [Nov p.88]
-
There's nothing devastatingly awful about this, it's just thoroughly outclassed by most of everything else on the market.
-
Its shooting is tame, forward progress is tedious, most enemies are foolish, the environment is dreary, and the unprofessionally delivered storyline is predictable and quite unentertaining.
-
AceGamezA pretty-looking but utterly mediocre gaming experience that's little more than space invaders with terrorists. The concept is sound, the storyline is okay, but the implementation just doesn't work.
-
A game that had a lot of potential in its concept, but a few solid ideas can't make up for poor gameplay.

Official Playstation 2 Magazine UKYou can actually feel your IQ drop as you play. A pretty-looking but otherwise feeble attempt at a political thriller. [Nov 2006, p.148]
-
The story and voice acting offered me several unintentional laughs, but inexcusably stupid elements, such as unskippable cut-scenes and the inability to pick up fallen enemies' weapons, pair with rotten gameplay to make this one of the worst games I've played all year.
-
PSM MagazineBad design, with mediocre action, voice acting, and bland missions. [Dec 2005, p.108]
-
A simple, one dimensional story, horrible voice acting and frustratingly boring and inconsistent gameplay make Without Warning an easy game to skip this holiday. Fair graphics keep it from being a complete waste of time.
-
games(TM)This could have been so much more, but the shoddy engine and woeful AI let down some fairly solid and slightly confusing concepts. [Nov 2005, p.125]
-
Edge MagazineBy any standards that have existed during the last ten, Without Warning is a work of stultifying incompetence that seems to hate its own players. [Dec 2005, p.108]
-
Plays more like a kind of arcade light-gun shooter with legs, and feels like it needed a better script and about six more months of development time.

HaroldG.Aug 13, 2007This game looks great on the PS2 and the action is OTT and fun.....too bad it was badly received.
