    There has never been an affordable game so original, challenging, funny, or entertaining before.

    If you love quirky humor and challenging gameplay then this is a title you'll want to be adding to your game collection. And you can't beat the $20 price – just don't let it fool you into thinking this is less of a game than it really is.

    The difficulty alone will put many off, while others won't care for the dark humor and cynical world view that ooze from this game. Those who do, though, will find their willingness to take a chance rewarded by a quirky but ultimately satisfying action adventure.

    I would buy the game just for the Mini-Golf alone. Like I said, every now and then a game comes along that renews my faith in companies making something fresh and also taking a risk.

    Travel the world, meet cute and fuzzy creatures, and then kill them. What could be more fun?

    After playing through it twice from start to the insanely rough final level, I truly had more pure fun with Raze's Hell's single player game than I did with "Halo 2" or "Doom 3."

    No fancy effects, but some great level and character designs make up for it.

    The character designs are very imaginative, while the sets and graphic ideas are great. Raze truly is a cool looking character, and the Kewletts are too cute to leave alive.

    One of the more interesting and fresh games to come out this year. It's certainly worth your attention since it's so unique and different from a lot of other games currently out.

    The developers have clearly thought long and hard into what would make Raze's Hell more than just a shooter. The best thing about this title is killing Teletubbies.

    A bit on the plain side for me, but a middle-of-the-road good game.

    Don't come in expecting anything groundbreaking or technically refined, but if you've been harboring a grudge against the cute platform creatures of the world, you may want to check out Raze's Hell to satiate those urges.
  14. GameSpot

    It's not about outmatching cunning opponents or solving complex puzzles. It's a game that scratches an itch that is so base and so primal that you can't help but smile as you eviscerate your saccharine enemies only to gorge yourself on their bloody entrails.
  15. GameZone

    A decent action game that could've been much better given more polish and some focus on the controls and balancing the AI.
  16. MS Xbox World

    Raze's Hell is a fun but short-lived experience. While its story mode can be entertaining at times, it soon becomes repetitive as it's all shooting and killing.
  17. Gaming Age
    75
    With over 20 massive levels in which you destroy, search, escort, hostage rescue, defend, create diversions, ambush, and much more, you will have fun finding new ways to infiltrate the Kewletts each time around.

    For 20 bucks you can't afford to not get this game. It is a lot of fun - you will laugh - you will die.
