    Creepier than any of the earlier games, and as an exercise in horror, it's terrific. Just get ready for a high frustration factor. [Jan 2003, p.60]

    Speaking of realistic, the checking and board play in 2K3 is light-years beyond anything else on the market. [Jan 2003, p.54]

    Virtually no health power-ups + enemies that can attack you from offscreen = hurling your game pad at a wall. [Dec 2002, p.66]

    Sonic fans owe it to themselves to pick this up. [Dec 2002, p.72]

    Control-wise, I hate the slippery, jittery interaction between character and camera. [Jan 2003, p.52]

    If Ratchet had more personality, this game might've been more fun. [Dec 2002, p.68]

    Packed with so many new features, you might not pop the disc out of your machine for months. [Jan 2003, p.55]

    It's just too darn short. It's not even as difficult as its PS2 counterpart, so you'll blow through it relatively quickly. [Jan 2003, p.65]

    While AoM sports the best single-player campaign in any "Age" game, it's still no award-winner. [Jan 2003, p.66]

    A thoughtful, grand-scale adventure that's not afraid to test your patience. [Dec 2002, p.60]

    • 67 Critic Score
    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]

    Even the simple removal of the two-minute timer brings an unrestrained joyous expression to my face. [Jan 2003, p.50]

    There's also a split-screen two-player mode that makes the game twice as fun. [Dec 2002, p.62]

    It's nothing entirely new, but you'll have a good time doing it. [Nov 2002, p.75]

    You'll definitely get into it if you're into classic shooters, but if you've been reared in the modern era, it may simply be too frustrating. [Jan 2003, p.54]

    Easily the coolest "Diablo"-style RPG available on any console, and the fact that it looks almost hotter than it plays is icing on the cake. [Jan 2003, p.58]

    A pretty fun game, but it essentially ends ujp being more of the same. [Jan 2003, p.67]

    Might not bring much new to the table (aside from its gorgeous cel-shaded graphics), but it's such a stellar example of this traditional style of RPG'ing that it's worth a look. [Nov 2002, p.74]

    My biggest beef with the game is that it never really feels like your hits are connecting. [Dec 2002, p.64]

    Intense. [Dec 2002, p.63]
