The hardware simply isn't powerful enough to consistently process what Killzone wants to do, in both single-player and online multiplayer modes. Similar to how Rare's "Perfect Dark" stressed the N64 near the end of that system's life, a game with otherwise excellent attributes finds itself arriving much too late for one party and a little too early for the next.- GMR Magazine

It's that A.I. thing that's a killer. The price is definitely right, but basing it on gameplay alone, this one lags behind this season's No. 1: "March Madness." [Jan 2005, p.118]- GMR Magazine

- Critic Score
We'd be hard pressed to stake the claim that any of these add significantly to the first game's singularly terse thrill. [Jan 2004, p.60]- GMR Magazine

The glorious 3D speed rush is still broken by moments where you will scream with rage inspired by whatever sadism or idiocy has kept Sonic Team from fixing its camera and control schemes after five years of 3D Sonic games.- GMR Magazine

Achieves portable "Diablo"-ness like no one's business... The main problem with [it] is that it quickly gets repetitious and is best played with the three friends that the game supports. [Oct 2003, p.80]- GMR Magazine

- Critic Score
Vastly improved graphics and animations make this practically a new game. [Jan 2003, p.93]- GMR Magazine
-
- Critic Score
The games survive in excellent fashion on GBA, with sharp colors and fast framerates. [Sept 2003, p.80]- GMR Magazine

- Critic Score
A fast, frantic action game starring a gun- and sword-wielding fellow fighting legions upon legions of baddies.- GMR Magazine

Xbox Live support is limited to downloadable content, not the needed multiplayer action, but it's great fun while it lasts. [Nov 2003, p.74]- GMR Magazine

It's the closest any DBZ game has ever come to replicating the insane airborne fights from the show. [Jan 2005, p.114]- GMR Magazine

An incredibly deep military flight simulator, Lock On is overwhelming, except to the most die-hard flight-stick jockeys. [Mar 2004, p.83]- GMR Magazine

With its open-ended structure and unusual story line, Arx Fatalis is the polar opposite of traditional console RPGs, and that's why I like it so much.- GMR Magazine

Topping off the game is the ability to go through all of RS's excellent missions in a splitscreen co-op mode with a friend. [Dec 2003, p.68]- GMR Magazine

If you're frustrated by "FFTA," this is strategy with training wheels. [July 2004, p.92]- GMR Magazine
-
- Critic Score
Offers a more simplified, newbie-friendly version of traditional Tribes gameplay. [Jan 2005, p.92]- GMR Magazine
-
- Critic Score
A totally new game. Unfortunately, it lacks the depth of the other games here, and therefore won't satisfy hardcore baseball fans. [Apr 2003, p.64]- GMR Magazine
-
- Critic Score
It isn't exactly groundbreaking, but Whiteout plays well and offers a good-looking experience. [Feb 2003, p.73]- GMR Magazine
-
- Critic Score
You will get enough to satisfy your battlefield cravings, but these extras could have - and maybe should have - been offered as a free download, not a $17.99 purchase. [May 2003, p.69]- GMR Magazine

If it weren't for an enhanced combat system, it would be a definite step down from "Kingdoms VIII" - ultimately, it's more of the same. [Apr 2004, p.92]- GMR Magazine

Tongue-in-cheek humor and mindless, cathartic bashing of things keep the proceedings from getting overly dull. [Jan 2004, p.92]- GMR Magazine

The most welcome addition to the series are the highly interactive backgrounds of Namco's arcade classic "Crisis Zone." [Nov 2003, p.84]- GMR Magazine

- Critic Score
The delights are mostly in the details - and the developer has taken the time to stuff this version full of neat little extras. [Apr 2003, p.73]- GMR Magazine
-
- Critic Score
The game expertly blends physical—mostly platforming—challenges with cerebral puzzles and, in the process, keeps players guessing throughout.- GMR Magazine

All the atmosphere is here - the confusion and fear - but beyond that, DFBHD doesn't involve much more than mowing down hordes of mindless enemy drones. [June 2003, p.73]- GMR Magazine

There's solid ground on which to build a game, but compared to what Insomniac is doing, much work remains. [Dec 2004, p.126]- GMR Magazine
-
- Critic Score
The textures aren't quite as sharp [as the Xbox version] and the framerate is a little dodgy, but Indy controls slightly better on the PS2 controller, thanks to the additional shoulder buttons. [Sept 2003, p.69]- GMR Magazine
-
- Critic Score
The gameplay, although strong at first, wasn't meant to be stretched this thin; if you're someone how intends to attempt all four games at a stretch, prepare for plenty of tedium to set in halfway through. [Jan 2004, p.52]- GMR Magazine
-
- Critic Score
Holding back the fun are severe slowdown and scripting problems; hectic firefights and complex rooms often crush the game's framerate, and some event triggers can be irrevocably hung up, forcing a restart. [Dec 2003, p.92]- GMR Magazine
