    Every little morsel of platforming goodness in The Wrath of Cortex has already been done to death on the Playstation. [May 2002, p.87]

    • 83 Critic Score
    The action is blistering, yet the camera moves like a slug and requires constant maintenance from the player. Don't let this discourage you, though. [June 2002, p.83]

    Very badly thought out control scheme. [June 2002, p.83]

    An all-encompassing adventure that is just as complex as Spidey's console brethren. [June 2002, p.86]

    • 75 Critic Score
    If you're ten, or simply itch for a decent, albeit short action title, Blender Bros. should fit the bill. [June 2002, p.87]

    • 56 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    It's not a complete failure, per se, but its gameplay is generations behind games that were released five years ago. [June 2002, p.79]

    • 86 Metascore
    • 93 Critic Score
    The most remarkable achievement that I noticed during my all-too-short time with DS is the utter and complete absence of loading times anywhere, in any level. [June 2002, p.85]

    • 72 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Doomed to be as bland as the Rock's acting. [June 2002, p.87]

    A well-tuned engine firing on all cylinders. [June 2002, p.84]

    • 53 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    A bare-bones affair that has little in the way of depth or real strategy, nonetheless delivers a solid meat-and-potatoes (or fish and chips, in this case) fishing experience. [May 2002, p.83]
    • Game Informer
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Besides the unique zoanthropic morphing, this release won't do much for hardcore fighting fanatics, but as I've said before, it's a great release for newcomers to the ring. [Apr 2002, p.78]

    • 68 Metascore

    In terms of real-time strategy releases, Army Men: RTS is the definition of mediocrity. [May 2002, p.83]

    There really isn't enough game here to justify a purchase. [Apr 2002, p.89]

    • 95 Critic Score
    Without question, Jedi Outcast is the most enjoyable and accomplished Star Wars game yet. [May 2002, p.90]

    Sadly, the gameplay is buggy. [June 2002, p.79]

    Even with these intriguing traits in place, King's Field: The Ancient City will bore approximately 99.9% of the gamers out there. Primarily because the game is so slow and burdensome. [Apr 2002, p.77]

    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Like I've said all along; if things went a bit slower the game would be much more engrossing. [June 2002, p.85]

    Since I was a Huffy riding, "Dukes of Hazzard" watching child of the 80's, I found playing these old classics particularly appealing. [June 2002, p.87]

    While the character animation is the game's strong point, the camera will trick you into a falling death more often than not. [June 2002, p.81]

    • 68 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    It's better than last year, if only by a few degrees. [June 2002, p.81]

    The combat is basic, sloppy, and imprecise, and the spastic overhead camera often gets annoying. [Dec 2002, p.152]

    • 75 Critic Score
    Unsurprisingly, this looks better than the PS2 version, but me timbers remain unshivered. [June 2002, p.83]

    • 80 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    I had a hard time putting it down, although I'd probably pick up Xbox's "RalliSport" first if it came down to the two of them. [June 2002, p.79]
