An extremely robust and flexible item-creation system, and one that offers hours upon hours of gameplay beyond the main story. [Sept 2003, p.100]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

Additionally, there's a ton of extra stuff you can unlock ranging from art to music, so there's no question that, like the last collection, Reloaded will keep you glued to your PSP for quite some time. [Nov. 2006, p.124]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

While technologically astounding and generally satisfying in terms of gameplay, Area 51 could have used a deeper, clearer story and another five to 10 hours of play time. [March 2005, p.86]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

Ty 2 seems to have it all: a huge open environment, gorgeous graphics, superb production values, myriad fluffy animals with Australian accents, and a ton of different gameplay styles. [Jan 2005, p.107]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

2K Sports still offers the best hockey at the best price. All that's needed now is a face-lift. [Dec 2005, p.115]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

The game's real improvement, which gives it a jump on the competition, is the fast break. [Dec 2002, p.171]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

A great game, but most of the new features don't really feel like they're all that new. [Aug 2005, p.82]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

I love it...The greatest thing about this game is the shot interface. [Apr 2002, p.107]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

More challenge than "Sled Storm," but more frustrating too...I still had a blast. [August 2002, p.108]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

If you have always intended to buy a collection of classic arcade games, then this is as comprehensive as you're going to get. [Nov 2005, p.93]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

It may not be the deepest (or longest) PS2 shooter, but it's definitely one of the most entertaining. [July 2004, p.98]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

An extremely solid - if uninspired - port of the Tiger franchise that's every bit as addictive as its PS2 counterparts. [June 2005, p.99]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

When you have something that's this cool to start with, even a fairly average gameplay experience is enough to hold the torch.- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

Rogue's greatest asset is its variety, which constantly refreshes the experience before that "new game" smell wears off. [June 2006, p.93]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

The controls are solid and versatile, and the whole experience seems appropriately majestic. [Feb 2002, p.106]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

It never stops being either stylish or fun, though, and how many games can you say that about that feature a goofy-looking yellow alien? Just one.- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

A paradox in game form. It's both a technical marvel and a technical disaster. It's a great game, but it's also just a port. You're going to have to decide which of these aspects is most important to you, but one thing is certain: Midnight Club 3 absolutely wipes the floor with other street racing games currently available for the PSP in both multiplayer and single-player options.- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

A more exciting, more involving boxing experience than this year's PS2 game. [Apr 2006, p.90]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

Of all of Zin's improvements the most marked is the fun factor. A big part of this has to do with the toned-down difficulty - instead of being next to impossible, Zin is merely <I>really freaking tough</I>. [Feb 2004, p.100]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

An excellent action-strategy fix for the "Dynasty" and "Samurai Warriors" fan. [Apr 2006, p.94]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

If you're looking for a finely crafted, thought-provoking story to go with your psychic phenomena, look no further than Second Sight. [Nov 2004, p.128]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

Despite .hack's inarguable flaws (it's repetitive, kinda ugly, and...er, <I>really</I> repetitive), the game remains one of the freshest concepts of this console generation. [Jan 2004, p.132]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

Out of all the releases that have come out in the past few years, Mega Man Maverick Hunter X stands as an example of what every developer should do--actually take advantage of the new hardware and seize the opportunity to add something new. [Mar 2006, p.94]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

There's a whole other world of unlockables for anyone who digs '80s nostalgia: commercials. Oh yeah, we're talking pure '80s here. [Jan 2003, p.120]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

Offers tons of new things to see and do, but relative newcomers to the game may want to hold off...for now. [Dec 2004, p.102]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

Phantasy Star Universe brings the classic lineage to the PS2 for the first time, in both offline and online modes. [Jan. 2007, p.76]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

It's hard to hit with finesse, not much outside of deep world tour mode. [Dec 2005, p.138]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine
