In Reservoir Dogs, the game, you might as well be seeing " The Max Fisher Players Present Reservoir Dogs," but minus the charm, and with a bad shooter/driving game as the price of admission. [Jan. 2007, p.69]

The 3D engine is incredibly sluggish, delivering mediocre graphics that manage to tax even fast computers and high-end videocards. [Jan 2005, p.69]

Dear Tricky, we miss you. [Jan 2006, p.91]

Rip-off. [Oct 2005, p.92]

In its present state, however, playing it is about as enjoyable as walking the plank in shark-infested waters. [Nov. 2006, p.72]

Should have stayed where it belonged-on the consoles. This is not a PC game. There is no mouse support whatsoever

Such an absolute mess that even die-hard fans should avoid the temptation. [Aug 2003, p.89]

While the story-based gameplay is a did, the free-roaming modes and mini-games are pretty entertaining. [June 2005, p.60]

This design alley is a dead end. [Jan 2004, p.80]

Games like this are the reason micromanagement is a four-letter word. [July 2005, p.57]

The game's dialogue system almost resembles a tree, except you basically just click on any of the questions until they're all gone. Interrogation at its, um, finest. [June 2005, p.58]

You are apt to play the same segments over and over, ad nauseam. Perhaps a more appropriate title might have been Groundhog Day II.

The whole thing plays out like some budgetware "Turn-Based Combat RPG for Dummies". [Oct. 2006, p.80]

The canned plot does all the driving and you're just along for the dull weird ride. [Feb 2003, p.71]

If golf was indeed dull, as many non-fans wrongly suspect, True Swing Golf would be the perfect golf game. [Apr 2006, p.90]

The designers may have thought they were making some sort of social statement, but the intended point is lost in all the sound and fury of oozing eyeballs and babies being hacked apart. It'll play well with the teens, because they'll think it's edgy and funny (missing the parody and irony, assuming they're actually there), but adults will no doubt find it stupid.

It has a nice wrapper and the budget price is right, but as soon as you hit the second or third mission, you'll be ready to break the disc in half and return the pieces to the store for credit.

A good idea gone wrong... A fantastic notion tht deserves much, much better execution than is displayed here. [Mar 2003, p.90]

It's a short, vacuous game that's over quickly and even more quickly forgotten. [Feb 2006, p.93]

The problem is that the gameplay itself is just downright awful. The missions are poorly thought out, excessively long, and inadequately defined. [May 2004, p.12]

This is the most disappointment I've ever felt playing a game. [July 2004, p.7]
