And the game's twist will excite only fans of backtracking, who, as far as I know, don't actually exist. [July 2007, p.83]- Electronic Gaming Monthly

On a system this powerful, nausea-inducing framerates should be a thing of the past. [Nov 2001, p.206]- Electronic Gaming Monthly

Larry's surreal brand of dong-and-fart humor lost me somewhere between the fifth date-rape joke and the gay-bar sing-along...The meat of the game - the cheesy, lowbrow funny business - goes limp in mere minutes. [Dec 2004, p.148]- Electronic Gaming Monthly

If you want a taste of the gritty underground fight scene depicted in the movie "Fight Club," you'd be better off paying somebody 50 bucks to beat you to a bloody pulp than wasting money on this game. It's unpolished, unfinished, and just plain bad. [Holiday 2004, p.102]- Electronic Gaming Monthly

It's one of the worst games I've ever played. [July 2002, p.128]- Electronic Gaming Monthly

One of the worst looking games to come out this year. [Feb 2006, p.110]- Electronic Gaming Monthly

Combine this lame gameplay with gaudy graphics, wretched acting and a mercifully short quest, and you've got one of the worst Xbox titles to date. [Oct 2002, p.204]- Electronic Gaming Monthly

While the fanciful racetracks are cute, they don't redeem the atrocious racing and so-bad-it's-good-oh-wait-it's-just-bad dialogue. [Dec 2004, p.170]- Electronic Gaming Monthly

Shrek is full of dull, poorly constructed rip-offs that get recycled several times. You'll be utterly bored after a few minutes with these creepy diversions. [Feb 2003, p.158]- Electronic Gaming Monthly

Aside from porn stars, no one likes sloppy seconds. But that’s what Majesco is shamelessly serving up with this effortless rehash. [Feb 2002, p.158]- Electronic Gaming Monthly

Regis’s few spunky chime-ins will severely disappoint his extremist fans, as well as nauseate everyone else with how much they sound like assembly-line verbal by-product. [Sept 2001, p.148]- Electronic Gaming Monthly

The graphics are a mess, the special moves are unresponsive, the animation is less fluid than a flip book, and the combat lacks strategic incentive. [June 2003, p.114]- Electronic Gaming Monthly

It'd be a bit better with a saner control scheme, but as it is, Drake is an exercise in frustration and repeated death. [Jan 2004, p.148]- Electronic Gaming Monthly

We’re talking gameplay that swings wildly from being overly simplistic (with brain teasers that couldn’t tease a 1-year-old) to being frustratingly directionless and unintuitive. [Sept 2001, p.145]- Electronic Gaming Monthly

The only button you really need to know about is on the back of your console and it's pretty much impossible to press it too soon. [Feb 2004, p.114]- Electronic Gaming Monthly

I think this is the most unplayable game I've ever encountered... and I've played some real crap. [June 2003, p.112]- Electronic Gaming Monthly

Or, if you're a life-hating masochist, you can waste $40 on The Guy Game, spend countless hours answering dumb trivia questions - and guessing if vapid skanks can answer dumb trivia questions (usually not) - and then...maybe see breasts. [Nov 2004, p.128]- Electronic Gaming Monthly

If a circus train wreck was ever more accurately embodied in digital format, I haven't seen it...It's a steaming pile of bloody dog krap. [Mar 2002, p.146]- Electronic Gaming Monthly
