The frustrating part is it’s out and out lack of a configurable control set up, a feature that would have been so easy to implement, and would have improved this game ten fold.- GamePen

Maybe it’s because I’m such a big fan of the series but I absolutely love this game.- GamePen

The problem with the game, aside from the derivative gameplay, is that the computer is way too competent, and can build faster.- GamePen

At all costs, do not expose yourself to the undying horror known as Triple Play 2002.- GamePen

It's merely a re-run of countless action games that have come before it: a futuristic setting with lots of weapons, shooting, and running around... but not much after that.- GamePen

Sound fun? It had the potential, but difficult controls and lack of stunning graphics will leave most people wondering why this wasn’t released on the PSOne.- GamePen

The only real goal in the game is to unlock multimedia extras. Very little Britney! I want to play with Britney more!- GamePen

These points don't raise the game from mediocrity, but they at least make some aspects of the game interesting enough to keep going... if you've got the patience and don't mind the boring parts.- GamePen

This is one game where it would be absolutely cool to have a co-op mode where you and a buddy – even just one other buddy – could join forces to blast monsters. Considering the difficulty of the game, it’s almost a missing necessary feature.- GamePen

A good game, if a little behind the technology curve, but who cares. The story is entertaining, the gameplay solid, and the voices funny.- GamePen

That is the real problem with Dark Planet, it doesn’t do anything that might keep me interested in playing it (and with over 40 missions it should be trying to).- GamePen

Crappy character interaction, bland level design and sour eye candy clashes hard with an elegant combat system.- GamePen

If you’re looking for a single-player experience that rivals most of today’s other RTS games… look elsewhere.- GamePen

What it does have is anime cutscenes and voices lifted right out of the Gundam Wing series, and ultimately, fans of the series are the only ones who will get real enjoyment from it.- GamePen

Here’s the kiss of death for a racing game... I didn’t find myself liking one car more than another...All of the SSC machines feel like a variation of a bumper car.- GamePen

While many of the same elements that made "Counter-Strike" successful are duplicated, it’s the ones that deviate from the norm that really hurt this package.- GamePen

The AI of your friends is completely laughable as you will witness them stuck behind doors and other obstacles in non-stop walking animation, jump off cliffs and bridges for no reason, and fall out of the sky beside you.- GamePen

Apparently, the developers were huge TRON fans. The tanks, the levels and the style of play are very inspired by the 1982 movie.- GamePen

This is one of the poorest expansion packs for any game in recent memory. It’s so bad, in fact, that I want my money back.- GamePen

Not nearly as innovative as the box text makes it sound. Everything in the game has been done before in other games, and, in many cases, done better.- GamePen

Perhaps the only redeeming quality of the game is the always entertaining Die Hard movie license, other than that you have a run of the mill shooter.- GamePen

While hardly earthshattering, it does give a "fuller" feel to the game board.- GamePen

The computer AI is the game's weakest point. Although the offensive play calling is pretty good and kept me on my toes defensively, the AI seems to have a tough time on the defensive side of the ball.- GamePen

If we could look past the sub par visuals and lengthy load times, I guess this could be a decent game. But if we could do that, then why did we buy a PS2 in the first place?- GamePen

The A.I. is one of the worst parts of the game; computer players just stand around like they’re bored, including those on your team.- GamePen

Choppy and stiff animations, unexplained frame-rate drops, pop-up when you come around corners and clumsy controls are the first things you are greeted with when you first start.- GamePen

Have you ever played a game that was just so horribly bad that you couldn’t help but wonder why the game was ever released in the first place? A game so horrible that it could literally bring a grown man to tears over the amount of frustration and pain that it caused?- GamePen

How fondly do you look back on the “Golden” age of gaming? Do you look back on it at all? Do you even know what I’m referring to when I say “Golden” age?- GamePen

So, we have annoying sound, minimalist save features, poor dialogue and voice acting, clumsy controls, and frustrating gameplay. Not exactly a recipe for success.- GamePen

This is a great game just as long as you keep it away from your PC. It is only until it comes in contact with a PC-Cdrom drive that it is able to spread it’s evils across your office or living room...Horrible in every single meaning of the word.- GamePen

No matter how you look at it, this game is crap...I shudder at the thought that people might spend time even reading about this game.- GamePen

It seemed like Midway wanted EVERYONE, no matter how bad they are, to be in the race. This might appeal to those who aren’t really good at this game, but it just takes away any skill needed to be a good racer and almost leaves it to blind and random luck.- GamePen

Not only a horrible example of game making, but terribly insulting to just about anybody who’s even familiar with the original versions on the 16 bit systems.- GamePen

With Real Pool 2’s timed shots, choppy graphics, obtuse camera control and bland technology upgrades the game feels like Kinda Real But Not Really Pool.- GamePen

It's hard to control, impossible on the eyes, and kind of like getting your nose ring ripped out! This is, simply put, the worst fighter of all time. It's a new low on every aspect of the game.- GamePen

And as if uninspired gameplay wasn’t enough, the game is chock full of the dandiest bugs this side of my bathtub. Let’s see - where to begin. Clipping, bad frame rates, stuck fighters, horrid camera movement, moves that just don’t work and sluggish controls.- GamePen

If you're looking for a no-frills, number-crunching, "old school" 4X strategy game, pull up a chair and relax. You're gonna be here for a while.- GamePen
