This game might be the foundation of a large scale, ultimately satisfying Star Wars universe. But it's not that universe yet. [Oct 2003, p.82]

Although no scenarios have the sweep of the Norway scenario of the original and the great OKW lackey voice-over is sorely missed, Scorched Earth is a great learning tool for beginning war gamers and is fun for veteran gamers.

Achieves exactly what many series games usually don't: it really gives you a feel for this much different theater and the combat that occurred there.

Which brings us to the game's greatest flaw, a smorgasbord of bugs, glitches, and blatantly missing features. [Dec 2003, p.82]

Quotation forthcoming. [Mar 2006]

Enclave isn't a clever game, nor is it an ambitious one... If your looking for a quality fantasy beat-em-up with more brawn and beauty than brains, it's a winning choice. [May 2003, p.81]

With all the "StarCraft" and "Age of Empires" wannabes clogging store shelves, it's rewarding to find a real-time strategy game that does its own thing and does it pretty well.

The experience is so immersive one can build a fishing rod, catch a fish, and bake it in an open fire. [Apr 2004, p.7]

The most maddeningly convoluted gaming experience this side of Derek Smart. [Feb 2006, p.67]

Great level design, satisfying weapons, and unique enemies make this a title that any shooter fan will definitely want to check out, even if the thought of going to a KISS concert gives you hives.

It's better to have not played a game that teases you such as this than to have played it and pulled your hair out in frustration.

Brutally hard. [July 2005, p.91]

Yet another one of those blandly respectful WWII shooters, with all the reverence for history of a five-day bus tour. [Aug 2005, p.90]

A great expansion pack seriously improves the core game. Marine Mania does not. [Mar 2003, p.80]

There is no good way to communicate with other players, making cooperative play that much more difficult. [July 2004, p.6]

A lame expansion... Towers, cars, and six worlds. These are the sort of additions that belong in a patch. [May 2003, p.79]

Remarkable design. [Sept 2005, p.86]

There's not much here that's more challenging than slicking your hair into a Pierce Brosnan pompadour. [Feb 2006, p.93]

There is a significant difference between the two games—"Age of Empires" is a lot of fun. "Fate of the Dragon" is not.

Normally, mining the license library to populate new hardware is a move that smacks of laziness and creative bankruptcy. In this case, Capcom seems to be on to something. [May 2006, p.91]

Ultimately fails as a game because of one poorly implemented feature: the "save game," or as it's called around here, the thing that keeps you from re-playing sadistically difficult levels 20 or more times. [Jan 2005, p.68]

It's a half-hearted effort that meets with only limited success. [Feb 2006, p.66]
