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]

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

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.

There isn't anything in Clone Wars that hasn't been more successfully executed in another game. [Jan 2003, p.61]

This title is a good, solid Shemp. [June 2002, p.87]

Not a terrible game by any stretch, but there's better stuff out there. [Sept 2002, p.48]

Right away, you'll notice that the camera just doesn't work very well.. Promising but poorly designed 3D levels drag down the fun. [Nov. 2003, p.51]

With a long-winded (yet basic) story and frustrating combat, the game just tends to drag on a little too much. [Dec 2002, p.63]

Feels a bit stale. [Nov 2002, p.68]

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]

Although SOF2 is ultimately just disposable entertainment - the kind of game you'll forget about minutes after beating it. [Aug 2003, p.33]

Why port a PS2 title that wasn't very good? It's like re-releasing "Cool As Ice" in theaters - no thanks. [June 2003, p.56]

You're better off going with the pro. [Jan 2003, p.52]

With the bugs ironed out, we'd have a good game on our hands. [Dec 2003, p.66]

We're talking Forrest Gump-simple, people. [August 2002, p.54]

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]

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

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

This game has an innovative battle system, but it's not much fun. [June 2003, p.40]

As you get deeper into the game, the attack/defense system starts to make sense, and the whole play experience becomes very tense and strategic. [Mar 2003, p.40]

A short and somewhat frustrating experience. [May 2003, p.48]

Each level starts out as fun, but with the gameplay so frustrating and immensely difficult throughout, what starts out as entertaining often becomes mere work in no time. [Sept 2002, p.42]

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]

It's just kinda...there. [Apr 2003, p.52]

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.

So-so platform elements. [Feb 2003, p.43]

If it weren't for the new stages, I might have given this game a whole letter grade higher. Instead, I found myself doing tedious, repetitive work...when I should have been having fun. [Nov 2003, p.70]

A suitable distraction if you're bored. But then again, so is bird watching. [Apr 2003, p.54]
