The game plays out like an extended TV episode in which you have to solve a great mystery - only this mystery gets solved mostly with guns and ammo. [Sept 2003, p.63]

If you can get past the fact that you've played this twice before, you'll love it. [June 2003, p.45]

Definitely one of the meatiest handheld games out there, and if you let it, it'll absorb you as intensely as some of its larger siblings. [July 2003, p.51]

Like a plate of pasta without the sauce: not bad, but missing all the flavor. [Sept 2003, p.57]

My biggest beef with Wario World is that it's over too quickly... If you love looking for secrets, though, Wario World is a great diversion. [July 2003, p.47]

The sloppiest major game release I've ever played... an inexcusable mess. [Sept 2003, p.50]

Just an average Resident Evil knockoff with a gimmick. [July 2003, p.58]

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

This version isn't as good as the original. There's a lot of choppiness going on, most of the lighting effects have been dialed down, and the soundtrack is scratchy and distracting. [June 2003, p.39]

The problem is that the interface used to control the eye is so unintuitive, your invisible assailant will most likely kill you before you can see him get off a shot. [Aug 2003, p.36]

The gameplay experience never becomes even remotely fun... An excruciating bore. I've never had less fun playing a videogame. [July 2003, p.55]

While its gameplay is neither fantastic nor bad, overall, it's a solid action-RPG that does a great job of capturing the phenomenon on which it's based. [July 2003, p.50]

If it wasn't for the inexcusably idiodic enemy intelligence and questionable controls, this might have been a great game. [Aug 2003, p.30]

It doesn't have the polish or intensity of "Midnight Club II." [Aug 2003, p.31]

There's a lot to like about Transmission, but its difficulty really drags it down. If you can handle it, though, you'll have a good time. [June 2003, p.37]

This is definitely for the hardcore, as lesser folk will be scared away. [Aug 2003, p.28]

Since there are no multiplayer options, replay value is kept to a bare minimum once the ride's all over. [Aug 2003, p.35]

As an online game, Tetris Worlds works really well, and I never encountered a bit of lag. [Sept 2003, p.58]

Raster productions has done an excellent port of the single-player missions from both the Xbox and PC versions of RTCW. [Aug 2003, p.35]

I wish I had played [it] before I played "Gallop Racer." In almost every regard, G1 is a superior product with much more depth and sophistication. [July 2003, p.59]

The opponent A.I. is just so incredibly bad that only the most spectacularly untalented gamers will ever have to worry about coming in any worse than third. [Sept 2003, p.55]

What I like most about The Hulk is the fact that the Hulk plays the way you'd expect him to. [July 2003, p.53]

I liked this game, even if I did find it excruciatingly tedious and repetitious at times. [Aug 2003, p.25]
