This title is the definition of perfect pacing. [Jan 2003, p.121]

The icing on the proverbial cake of poo is that PK has only a few levels with overly linear layout, bland textures, and sub-par cel shading. [Mar 2003, p.85]

The AI is horrendous, all the great tweaks in "NBA 2K3" are MIA, and most of the fun is gone, too... People in dorms are going to have to get pretty drunk to get any enjoyment out of this. [Jan 2003, p.96]

My point is this: Kirby good. Me like. You buy. All happy. [Jan 2003, p.122]

Probably a great game to give someone who isn't really familiar with the genre. [Dec 2002, p.130]

Capcom has reproduced nearly every component that made Alpha 3 the best Street Fighter, despite the GBA's obvious deficiencies. [Sept 2002, p.94]

It's the same excellent-looking title that we saw on PS2 last month, featuring even better texturing and fewer jaggies on the Xbox. [Jan 2003, p.114]

Tears of joy rolled down my cheeks at the exact moment that I ejected this game from my Xbox. I then proceeded to toss it on the floor and violently smash it with a sledgehamer into a thousand little pieces. [Jan 2003, p.114]

Just another mediocre pretender to the crown. Bottom line: I just didn't want to keep playing. [Feb 2003, p.101]

An interesting concept; too bad the real meat of the game (the racing) is as dry and tasteless as roast beef at Old Country Buffet. [Feb 2003, p.98]

The only thing that could make this worse would be if the game was broken, but then you'd at least be spared the agony of playing it. [Jan 2003, p.96]

My favorite part is the interviews. Around 20 legends talk about the business. [Feb 2003, p.97]

Sure, I can mow down countless humans in any FPS, but drilling a gentle animal is not my idea of a good time. [Mar 2003, p.83]

I'm still not sold on the saggy engine, but the new Career mode storylines help to keep me playing. [Feb 2003, p.101]

Rygar's environments will amaze you from the beginning. [Dec 2002, p.118]

The graphics are horrendous, and the gameplay is so painfully slow that I contemplated defenestraing this cartridge from the fourth story window of our building in hopes that I would never have to see it again. [Mar 2003, p.92]

Avoid this like a used King Kong Bundy jockstrap. [Mar 2003, p.92]

This is the best you'll see in this generation of handheld hardware. [Mar 2003, p.92]

If you're a Nintendo loyalist who's never experienced "Max Payne," this should be the next game you buy. [Jan 2003, p.102]

Much like "Tetris," this game has unrivaled depth. Just getting through all of them will consume hundreds of hours. [Feb 2003, p.108]

The battle system is unexciting overall, but there is some mysterious draw to seeing all the different beast forms that keeps you playing. [Feb 2003, p.110]

Those rare folk that love both "Myst" and "Resident Evil" should praise the heavens. [Jan 2003, p.114]

Easily the best option for college hoops fans. [Jan 2003, p.96]

It's been a long time since a game has made my heart race quite like Steel Battalion... a one-of-a-kind game that will thrill you like no other. [Dec 2002, p.132]

The combat animations and audio are good, but the severe lack of cities with NPCs to barter and interact with is a shame. [Feb 2003, p.107]

Another promising game struck down by execution. [Jan 2003, p.96]

Featuring perhaps the worst cutscenes I have ever seen, and gameplay that is tedious at best, there really isn't much SeaBlade has to offer. [Jan 2003, p.114]

It can fill your mind with some of the sweetest combat you've ever had the pleasure of playing. [Dec 2002, p.137]
