    I have heard too many critics bash this game. True, it does seemed rushed and lacks a lot of quality...but I feel the gameplay and graphics are still great. Not very many games come out where you can fight and swim entirely underwater. Critics say that the game lacks voices or more sounds during the underwater fights, but lets think for a moment using common sense....how could any of the I have heard too many critics bash this game.

Critics say that the game lacks voices or more sounds during the underwater fights, but lets think for a moment using common sense....how could any of the characters really talk underwater? It would be nothing but ridiculous gurgles of water and bubbling. More screams would have been nice, but not necessary...we don't need to make the characters (good or bad) act like girly wimps when they get hit. I was dissapointed with the fact that the controls could not be changed from the inverted versions. I'm not use to controling a character using pilot controls, so it made the submarine levels tougher. The comic book scenes could have been better. The same pictures of faces over and over was very dissapointing and boring. And a much broader soundtrack would have been better as well, instead of the same two songs over and over again. Being able to unlock and play as the classic Aquaman was worth it. This is a unique game, which could have been done better...but I feel is still good and hold it's own compared to other games I have seen and played. … Expand

    A subpar effort marred by weak graphics and terribly repetitive gameplay. [Oct/Nov 2003, p.87]

    The setting for a really interesting adventure is present and the hero has a really nifty aquatic gift, but the end result is disastrous thanks to poor execution and a weak story with no real payoff.

    It totally lacks imagination or polish. Toss this one back. [Nov 2003, p.102]
