Pretty repetitive for the most part, and camera issues crop up all over the place...There's also little challenge, except when time limits are placed on missions. [Oct 2003, p.49]

The on-track action can only be described as skatey, as your tires never seem to grip the road. With a bit of practice, you can compensate for this, but the game just never feels right because of it.

SNK creates quirky, memorable characters with interesting moves, and KOF 2001 in particular showcases a huge number of these. [Jan 2004, p.58]

The fighting system is fairly shallow, and once you become callous to the flashy moves and explosive pyrotechnics, the action starts to feel repetitive. [Jan 2004, p.56]

While Gotcha Force definitely has visual punch and lets you lay the smack down on foes with your customized robot attack squad, it's a little on the bland side.

Frustrating because of the repetitive, mapless dungeons, and stupid because of the lame story. [Jan 2003, p.46]

It's too bad that poorly designed levels, headache-inducing obstacles, and an embarrassingly cliched story spoil so much of the fun. [Jan 2004, p.59]

Unfortunately, its excellent concept, experience system, and humor aren't enough to drag Whiplash out of a sea of average gameplay. [Jan 2004, p.60]

Compared with the graphics in "March Madness," ESPN College Hoops' visuals look a few years old. [Jan 2004, p.63]

The fighting system is as basic and clumsy as it was back in 1987. [Dec 2003, p.75]

The games are junk, but the EyeToy itself is brillian. Pick it up. [Nov 2003, p.47]

A solid yet basic and dated RTS. [Jan 2004, p.67]

You know what's really weak, though? There are four Turtles—and they're a team, right? But only two heads can play this game simultaneously. I'm sorry, but I can't explain the logic behind that.

This game does nothing new except offer a ton of foul language to get you in trouble with the 'rents. Next, please.

The puzzles suck; they're often obscure to the point of being ridiculous. Key items are frequently out of frame or hard to see, making progress without a cheat sheet nearly impossible.

The game is truly at its best in two-player mode, where you'll probably be more evenly matched against your opponent.

Expect Gladius to suck time in the manner of a Hoover sucking dirt - the turn-based battles are slow and poorly paced, often making a gladiator's life a wearisome one. [Dec 2003, p.66]

Building energy for certain basic moves, such as boosting and sending a Bludger, takes too long, which keeps the general gameplay pretty basic for much of the game. [Dec 2003, p.74]

Slick enough to make wading through oceans of thugs, robots, and enemy ninjas a pleasure. [Nov 2003, p.46]

A smooth, polished game, and it's a lot of fun to play, especially for hardcore Turtles fans. It's just not very complex, and it's not all that long.

Story aside, there's some pretty decent action here. [Dec 2003, p.54]

Story aside, there's some pretty decent action here. Gameplay includes straight-up action, light puzzle solving, and fast-paced racing. The variety keeps things fresh and ensures you won't become bored.

Patience is required to get through this game. [Jan 2004, p.60]

Have you ever played the classic arcade game Robotron 2084? Imagine a crappier version of it in 3D with horrible controls. That's what the on-foot missions of Rebel Strike are like.
