While this story is rather cheesy, the subtleties Crystal Dynamics used to take this posterboy of evil, and put him in a protagonist role, is fascinating. [May 2002, p.86]

A been-there-done-that title that does pretty well by itself. [May 2002, p.93]

Sadly, the aforementioned stars look a little chunky, due to the odd character models, and move like they've hit the Wimbeldon locker-room buffet one too many times, giving the game a much slower feel than "Virtua Tennis." [Apr 2002, p.74]

The graphics and physics are inferior to "Courtside" on the 'Cube, but 2K2 gets the nod in nearly every other aspect. [May 2002, p.85]

It's tough to be impressed by a game based on a Pixar movie, when it's a given Pixar's CG is 2,000 times better than anything a current game system could offer. [Apr 2002, p.77]

The developers failed to develop a camera system capable of dealing with the 3D action. [Apr 2002, p.79]

This game is strictly for kids, and when I say kids, I mean the kind that may in fact still wear diapers. The smelly kind. [May 2002, p.89]

The strategy aspects are great, as is the audio. [May 2002, p.89]

The sad thing is, blasting these hostile extraterrestrial invaders is a thrill-less and somewhat aggravating endeavor...The world would definitely be a better place without it. [Mar 2002, p.85]

Terrible when it comes to gameplay. [Apr 2002, p.83]

It's better to play it with quarters (i.e. in the arcade) than it is with bills (i.e. fifty singles at the store). [May 2002, p.87]

The gameplay formula [is] a complete and utter catastrophe. [May 2002, p.84]

The game succeeds because it mixes the glitz with real-life soccer fundamentals. [Apr 2002, p.78]

Underneath its silky shine is a feast of fighting goodies that will change everything you have ever come to expect from this genre. [May 2002, p.78]

While the gameplay has been replicated perfectly, the graphics aren't quite up to par with its PS2 cousin. [May 2002, p.87]

There is something to be said for this title due to its pure outrageousness. [Apr 2002, p.77]

It just looks awful and pixilated. [May 2002, p.85]
