Every good idea here is brought down by bad basic design, including a shoddy third-person camera, a too-slow first-person mode, and bizarre forced switching between the two. [Sept 2008, p.82]- Electronic Gaming Monthly

- Critic Score
The new "Incredibles"-esque visuals and accessible dribbling mechanics are welcome, but this arcadey pitch still needs grooming. [Mar 2008, p.75]- Electronic Gaming Monthly

Why would you bother with its blundering ways with "Madden" and "ESPN" around? [Nov 2003, p.184]- Electronic Gaming Monthly

If Superman spent more time flying around the city and zero time fighting repetitive enemies, his game would be way better. [Jan. 2007, p.102]- Electronic Gaming Monthly

My biggest problems, though, are with the unevenness of the penalties called and shots that go in.- Electronic Gaming Monthly

When a racing game's gimmick relies on un-seat-belted drivers forcibly ejected through windshields during crashes, you know you're in trouble. [Aug 2005, p.110]- Electronic Gaming Monthly
-

The gameplay is the equivalent of chewing a piece of gum all afternoon - inoffensive, but you just want to spit it out after a while. [Sept 2004, p.99]- Electronic Gaming Monthly
-
- Critic Score
The manual flight controls are overly sensitive and take serious getting used to, forcing you to rely on autopilot. [Aug 2006, p.92]- Electronic Gaming Monthly
-
- Critic Score
Shooting centerfolds and putting together a magazine is halfway interesting, but the gameplay is nothing more than a third-rate "Sims" clone. [April 2005, p.114]- Electronic Gaming Monthly

Remind me - what exactly is it about frantic, feverish, and somewhat random button-pressing that's...fun? 'Cause these minigames just aren't. [Oct 2004, p.114]- Electronic Gaming Monthly

If you need a simple gunplay fix this could maybe see you through a weekend... [July 2006, p.92]- Electronic Gaming Monthly

If you've already hacked through any of the "Champions of Norrath" or "Baldur's Gate" PS2 games, then you'll find little here to hold your interest. [Jan. 2007, p.80]- Electronic Gaming Monthly
-
- Critic Score
Suffers from a steep difficulty curve. Blame it on the excessive enemy quotient, the steep cost of healing, and the unwieldy inventory control. [Feb 2002, p.148]- Electronic Gaming Monthly
-
- Critic Score
It's a decent enough action-platforming romp, sure, but it's clearly not the product of the real Wario crew. [May 2007, p.87]- Electronic Gaming Monthly
-
- Critic Score
This game can't even show a bunt without a glitchy flaw or two. [May 2002, p.114]- Electronic Gaming Monthly
-
- Critic Score
Even crash-test dummies would yawn at this wreckage. [June 2004, p.96]- Electronic Gaming Monthly
-
- Critic Score
Ultimately, the game simply isn't that engaging: The unique FFVII setting feels totally wasted here, as you're often running through boring corridors looking for keycards. [Sept. 2006, p.103]- Electronic Gaming Monthly

Screw fighting, I surrender--anything to keep me from wading through this awkward war game. [May 2007, p.81]- Electronic Gaming Monthly
-
- Critic Score
With all these hiccups, I'm shocked this war lasted one year, let alone 100. [Dec 2007, p.109]- Electronic Gaming Monthly

The killer visuals just can't disguise the repetitive levels and frustrating trial-and-error missions. [May 2004, p.108]- Electronic Gaming Monthly

Apparently, someone out there was itching for a game that combines the witless banality of "Jake and the Fat Man" with the absurd chase scenarios of "CHiPS." [Apr 2006, p.106]- Electronic Gaming Monthly

With its bleak environments, surreal plot and button mashin' gameplay, Eve of Extinction is one big mess. [May 2002, p.106]- Electronic Gaming Monthly

The boring, repetitive, annoying missions will only frustrate you. If you must drive a Mini, buy the much better (and much cheaper) Italian Job on PS1. [Sept 2003, p.121]- Electronic Gaming Monthly
