Other than the stylish cel-shaded visuals, there's hardly anything new here... Seriously, I haven't seen camera problems this bad since the early days of PS1. [Nov 2003, p.138]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

At its very best, Dirge of Cerberus is an average action game with RPG elements, nice ideas, and a decent fan service. [Sept 2006, p.80]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

One of the largest kid games to hit the market - in essence, it's an E-rated "GTA." [Jan 2005, p.107]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

"NBA 2K2" is still the obvious choice for basketball fans. But 2Night's stock remains on the rise. [May 2002, p.99]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

More of the same, but not quite as good, with crappy minigames and a framerate that's more offensive than calling your political foe a putzhead. [Jan 2003, p.132]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

Unlike most licensed games, Project Zoo doesn't suck, but alas, it's just an unremarkable game. [Nov 2003, p.147]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

Avatar shows flashes of brilliance at first, but sadly those don't last long enough to sustain the entire game. [Jan. 2007, p.88]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

Should actually be called "Headhunter: Generally Good Like the Last One But Still Pretty Flawed." [Nov 2004, p.120]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

A huge, solid game that's seriously crippled by an unworkable control scheme. [July 2005, p.78]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

Besides the rosters, this is the exact same game as last year. [July 2003, p.97]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

The most challenging poker game yet - so newbies beware! [Jan 2006, p.95]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

It's a simple game--so simple that it's really not good for anyone over the age of 9 or 10--but it's not bad, and the way it's structured makes it perfect for parents to jump in and out to help when kids get stuck.- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

I feel greatly disappointed by the lack of polish that could have made it a killer title. [August 2002, p.108]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

The technical faults of this shoddy port put a big fat smudge on an otherwise great game. [June 2002, p.98]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

A solid, if limited, dance title... If Rhythm n' Groove has another 15 or 20 songs, DDR might have something to worry about. [June 2003, p.107]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

The naval engagements look sharp, with some nice water effects and a lot of action, but the combat seems like dumbed-down real-time strategy. [Mar 2003, p.108]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

Subject to much refinement, and while it still can't compete with the competition, 989 Sports has created a surprisingly solid all-around basketball game. [Dec 2003, p.183]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

All the time that could've gone into presentation and perfect control instead went to giving gamers an immense ammount of baseball. [Jully 2006, p.84]l- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

A decent racer that doesn't come close to fulfilling its potential. Still, it's currently the only choice for rally racing on the PSP. [Apr 2006, p.89]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

Overall, the mechanics are OK, though the camera is kind of unwieldy. But very frankly, that probably won't matter all that much to the target audience.- 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
