The game basically says, "You're obvioulsy really stupid, so we're going to hold onto your hand and lead you through this stage. [Jan 2004, p.151]

Despite the mind-numbing repetition, I was compelled to continue, if only because I became quite obsessed with buying new decals and accessories for my lowrider. [Feb 2004, p.102]

Many [games] don't quite play the way they should since you don't have the keypad, which was one of the system's highlights. [Feb 2004, p.103]

DDR hasn't evolved much since its console debut on PSone, but the graphics, song list, and online options of Ultramix make it the best entry in the series since "DDR: Konamix." [Jan 2004, p.148]

It can't hold off the stench of rot that is setting in on by-the-book platformers like this. [Jan 2004, p.135]

With its faults, this title is a good hack-fest with a high body count (which makes for an awesome multiplayer component), but still leaves it short of what it wants to achieve. [Jan 2004, p.148]

The biggest reason that I'm not ga-ga about this game is that I don't feel like I know Kya as a character. Because of that limitation, your desire to spend some serious time in her company isn't as high as, say Voodoo Vince. [Nov 2003, p.145]

Eidos has produced a turd of such magnitude that there is no adjective to describe my overwhelming distaste for this game and many of the things it stands for. [Jan 2004, p.134]

I came away longing for the great game that this could have been, rather than the merely adequate game that it is. [Dec 2003, p.141]

You would be hard-pressed to find a more intense experience in any entertainment medium. [Jan 2004, p.120]

Does what a lot of titles fall well short of - delivering an engagning mix of styles to form a cohesive whole that spurs you on every step of the way. [Nov. 2003, p.152]

A flat-out crappy game. [Jan 2004, p.135]

A respectable follow-up, but it doesn't come close to rekindling the magic of the original. [Dec 2003, p.132]

The level of control that you have over your characters' actions is truly remarkable... Simply put, this is the best thing to happen to Star Wars since the original trilogy. [Feb 2004, p.112]

Ugly and smelly enough that only a dedicated few should bring it home. [Jan 2004, p.135]

Goes above and beyond the norm of platform games, and comes out shining like the edge of a sharpened blade. [Jan 2004, p.134]

A great package crammed with more value and personality than most rhythm games. [Dec 2003, p.143]

Although this game is well-rounded enough to at least give you an enjoyable experience, it fails to grab you by the stick with enough G-forces to set the seat of your pants on fire. [Dec 2003, p.148]

Much like your first car, this is a game that has that pre-owned smell all over it. [Jan 2004, p.133]

Your objectives change so constantly that it's easy to forget about the blurry graphics and simplistic combat. [Feb 2004, p.114]

The biggest problem with Rivals is that it doesn't feel like you're skating ice. [Dec 2003, p.174]

An incredibly engagning action game with a good dose of humor and scads of originality. [Nov 2003, p.169]

It's simply so boring that my mind wanders to the chores waiting for me at home. [Jan 2004, p.151]

Magic fans will likely scoff in disgust, but if you're in the market for a game that plays like a fighter but has a little more depth, you may want to give this a whirl. [Dec 2003, p.173]
