Suffers a bit in comparison to other recent releases in the genre, but is redeemed to a large extent by its excellent control and playability. [Oct 1998]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

Even more impressive is the soundtrack that's comprised of a collection of haunting orchestral CD tracks that give the game a dark mood and atmosphere difficult to put into words. [Aug 1998]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

Bristling with style, Square's space shooter is a classic in the genre. The gameplay is fast and furious, and the background graphics look stunning even today. [Nov 2001, p.43] Einhander's huling bosses will blow your mind.- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

Not only is the action fast, but the game engine is technically quite proficient on the PS one... Also has its fair share of voluptuous babes that like to, er, bounce. [Nov 2001, p.42]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

A fighting game unlike any other, Square's classic does away with such staple fighting game features as combos and life bars, replacing them with skill-based moves like one-hit kills. [Nov 2001, p.40]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

Sure, "Ace 3" has better graphics, and sure, there might be a little more variety in the missions. But the laughable challenge level in "Ace 3" makes it hard to recommend it over its older brother. [Nov 2001, p.38]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

It's the first must-own PS one game for the PS2-only chaps. And that's a real coup. [June 2002, p.102]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

Slammin' D-ball's gameplay is a far cry from that of the old-school classic, and it's quite a shame. [May 2002, p.103]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine
