More than any strategy game I've played, DT2 forces you to think five moves ahead at all times. [Nov 2003, p.52]

Certainly should garner awards for technical achievement. [Dec 2002, p.58]

The brain teasers are deviously well designed and they are perfectly suited for a portable adventure. [May 2003, p.37]

Among the fastest and most intricate 2D fighting games in existence. [Mar 2003, p.48]
