The framerate suffers in the conversion, but the solid puzzles and great soundtrack stay true to the computer release. [Oct 2002, p.84]

There's a comfortable familiarity to its medieval setting, and the story is refreshingly non-linear - if you want it to be. [Dec 2002, p.148]

Last year's Thunder was a great game, but 2003 leaves it in its dust. [Nov 2002, p.144]

I suggest you heartily plow into the game's wealth of career options, lose yourself in the Lighting Challenges, and laugh all the way to victory lane. [Oct 2002, p.87]

Story-wise, the game is interesting, but the difficulty of the missions themselves will probably serve as a massive barrier for the gamers who want to find out what happens next. [Nov 2002, p.142]

During Dawn of Fate, I would get so turned around, I found myself back at the beginning of a level, instead of pressing on into the next sections. [Oct 2002, p.91]

My only major complaint has to do with the maps: many are simply uninspired, and lack variety. [Nov 2002, p.128]

Certainly playable, but without the adrenaline charge of actual surfing, it feels like I'm playing one endless Tony Hawk level. [Oct 2002, p.84]

It may not be an accurate portrayal of NHL, but it blows away EA's game with little effort. [Nov 2002, p.127]

Wallows in mediocrity. [Oct 2002, p.84]

The coolest, most bad-ass new character I've seen in a game since "Devil May Cry"'s Dante. [Oct 2002, p.85]

The battles that unfold are as beautful as they are intense, and as difficult as they are easy to manhandle. [Oct 2002, p.76]

Harmony isn't a title any GBA owner should miss. [Oct 2002, p.94]

Breathes new life into the formula with some platform-inspired madness. [Oct 2002, p.94]

You could do worse. [Dec 2002, p.152]

Has a lot to unlock; it's visually appealing; and the music, voiceovers, and FMV all add to the atmosphere. I can dig it. [Oct 2002, p.91]

I hate to say it, but the best parts of this game are the vehicle desings and environmental details. The rest of it really did nothing for me. [Nov 2002, p.140]

You can spend your hard-earned cash on EA's "NHL 2003" and find yourself developing a nervous tick as you try to master the new deke moves - or, you can do the smart thing and pick up NHL Hitz 20-03 instead. [Nov 2002, p.144]

There is room for improvement as stats are still lacking, the fighting still sucks, and I'd like to see more varied hitting; but NHL Hitz 2003 definitely belongs in your gaming lineup. [Nov 2002, p.133]

It's like a simple "Sims"...but it's a lot of fun, I swear. [Oct 2002, p.86]

Replicates the movie's charm wonderfully, but its lack of variety hardly qualifies it even as a party game. [Dec 2002, p.130]

As a racer, it's decent; as a freestyle trick game, it sucks. [Nov 2002, p.134]

This sucks rocks...Avoid this stinker at all costs. [Oct 2002, p.87]

I just didn't find myself very addicted to this game. [Nov 2002, p.134]

A fun little simulation title that gets naughty every once in a while. [Nov 2002, p.148]

Has everything we've ever wanted in a WWII battlefield game. [Nov 2002, p.146]

This version shutters more during gameplay - especially when you turn the game camera. [Nov 2002, p.144]

Another great city-builder from a developer that has come to define a niche genre all its own. [Sept 2002, p.93]
