Provides precious little depth, but as a way of getting the kids up out of their seats, the collection works nearly as well. [Jan 2005, p.106]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

In spite of the lackluster design, Zero is, if nothing else, another addition to the barren landscape of flight games on the PS2. [Jun 2006, p.95]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

Outside of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" series, nothing surpasses the complexity of FM4. [July 2004, p.92]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

A nice puzzle compilation for those who are dexterous of hand rather than mind. [July 2005, p.78]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

Perhaps a bit less imaginative than its PS2 counterparts, the game's still a quirky example of pure fun. [May 2006, p.93]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

The basic formula hasn't changed, and for some of you (including me), it's probably getting old. [Dec 2005, p.124]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

This is a big game, a good 40 to 50 hours long, and those hours are almost all good. But like the over-the-top voice actor gamely imitating Al Pacino, Scarface falls just a little short. [Nov. 2006, p.116]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

BloodRayne might surprise you as one of the best bloodsucking adventures outside of Nosgoth.- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

By far the coolest feature, though, is the ability to partake in the park's attractions. [May 2003, p.97]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

While encounters with the underling Decepticlones are somewhat dull, Decepticon boss fights are actually quite intense and difficult - at least until a weakness is revealed. [June 2004, p.92]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

As solid as the turn-based gameplay is, I still have to warn you that your brain might fold in half as it comprehends how the game works. [May 2005, p.114]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

It's sad that some of the best pure action on the PS2 is paired with such amateurish stealth. [Feb 2005, p.85]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

If you can get over the learning curve for the controls, you'll have fun brining it to the streets. [July 2005, p.79]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

An engrossing experience for the hardened campaigner. It's chock-full of quests, items, battles, and moral ambiguity, offering a fine-tuned gameplay experience that anyone who's been longing for the next Final Fantasy Tactics should enjoy.- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

The core gameplay is definitely up to Madden standards, and for many gamers, that's all that's needed. [Nov 2005, p.122]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

Some will find this as addictive as "Lumines", but due to the increased difficulty level and lack of accessibility, Every Extend Extra lacks the broad appeal of Q Entertainment's prior titles. [Nov, 2006, p.124]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

What's challenging in hitting home runs with every other hitter? [June 2001, p.99]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

It's definitely worth playing, but it could have been better with more mission variety and more powerful hardware. [Dec. 2006, p.122]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

Tough but ultimately superb gameplay. Only a hero and story are the game's Achilles' heel. [Nov 2005, p.116]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

I'll take a well-meaning comedy with a few mishaps over standard RPG melodrama. [Oct 2005, p.103]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

Although Darkstalkers doesn't really possess a level of depth that hardcore fighting fans can appreciate, there's still an inherent layer of novelty in playing an arcade-quality fighting game on the go. [June 2005, p.100]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

Also, these types of games are generally better suited for the PSP to begin with. Don't get the wrong idea; it's still a very good collection of games. [Nov. 2006, p.118]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

It's a good game, but its depth just won't appeal to everyone. [May 2005, p.108]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

Over time, you become so familiar with your player's animation that good swings become second nature, and Smash 2's greatness becomes apparent. [July 2004, p.97]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

I feel like nothing I do matters. The game is completely out of control. [Jan 2003, p.138]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

Rarely more than mildly diverting at best. From the first moment, the game left me feeling decidely underwhelmed. [Mar 2003, p.110]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

Therein likes Magic Pengel's beauty... it's the fact that you can bring to life almost <I>anything</I> you imagine. [June 2003, p.106]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

The collection is worth it just for the two "Mortal Kombat" games. [Dec 2004, p.119]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

- Critic Score
Instead of the feeling of freedom found in a really good sandbox game, Destroy All Humans! generates a feeling of, well, boredom. You're walked mercilessly through the main story in baby steps, and side missions are infrequent and uninspired. [Aug 2005, p.86]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine
