One thing about the game will really piss you off, though, and that's the difficulty. In plain English, the A.I. is freaking brutal, and if you make one mistake in most courses, you may as well restart the race. [June 2003, p.52]- GameNow

Paying $8.95 per month is a crapload, right? Well, it is, considering what the game doesn't give you - a persistent world (like in "Everquest"), or any sort of ranking system. [Dec 2002, p.74]- GameNow

Co-op mode didn't make the cut. This was one feature that kept the repetitive level design from showing its ugly face - between those great, open terrain stages are lots of boring back-and-forth mazes.- GameNow

There's no sense of accomplishment on any grand scale. So it seems, in fact, that you're fighting for nothing; hence, there's no real story... It becomes tiresome rather quickly. [Aug 2003, p.38]- GameNow

The game is awfully short (it takes only six to seven hours to complete), and the multiplayer does little to extend its replay value. [Oct 2003, p.63]- GameNow

The levels often feel flat and uninspired. [Nov 2003, p.62]- GameNow

A great collection of classics, but not inventive enough to win over non-puzzle fans. [July 2003, p.49]- GameNow

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

The Xbox release is the best of the three console editions by far. [June 2002, p.59]- GameNow

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]- GameNow

Some weapons are not so hot, but it has some great new maps. [Oct 2003, p.65]- GameNow

Without the hundreds of teams that the "standard" version sports, either mode can get boring. [June 2002, p.58]- GameNow

Ultimately entertaining but also jarringly frustrating. [Apr 2003, p.49]- GameNow

I think I'm starting to (yawn) want to get my "freek" on somewhere else. [Sept 2002, p.44]- GameNow

Without the MLS license, it's hard for a casual fan like me to get into. [Mar 2003, p.50]- GameNow

At the very least, speeding on a broomstick at 250 miles per hour will give you a new level of respect for Harry's skills as a Seeker. [Dec 2002, p.75]- GameNow

The cut-scenes will make you feel seriously embarrassed for the people who wrote them. [Aug 2003, p.32]- GameNow

The game also suffers from way too many cheap hits and bizarre, maze-like levels with no basis in reality. [June 2002, p.86]- GameNow

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.- GameNow

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

It's incredibly hard. Linear algebra was easier than this - and more fun. [Apr 2003, p.53]- GameNow
