    For a game that has been around for three years, it still performs admirably and stacks up well against today's most sophisticated fighters in terms of graphics and replay value. [May 2003, p.91]

    A near-exact port of a dated game, and as such is not impressive visually. [June 2003, p.84]

    This game is utterly and completely insane. [June 2003, p.54]
