Fortunately, the 1-on-1 fighting sequences are there to save it, but it would've been great if there were more of them and less of a focus on the average action sequences. If anything, it would've made the game last longer than the five hours it takes to beat it.- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

Plenty playable, even for more experienced gamers. [Feb 2002, p.118]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

Insipid tasks aside, Uzumaki Chronicles' biggest failing is that it's just not very fair. Success depends largely on earning power-ups from missions, but you only get one shot at passing. [Jann. 2007, p.84]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

This is a great game for kids or people who are chronically bad at racers, and it's not actually offensive to Pac-Man fans. [Sept 2006, p.79]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

Profoundly mediocre, the kind of game that only hardcore Digi-fans will like. [June 2002, p.102]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

Ultimately, though, even "five Pipo monkeys in different colored pants!" aren't enough to make the same repeated games and gadgets interesting—unless you're a 7-year-old or a stoner.- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

Maybe the most irritating thing is that, for all its complexity, Bombastic isn't the slightest bit difficult. [Sept 2003, p.93]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

There isn't enough blood in the universe to distract you from how utterly boring this game is. [March 2005, p.100]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

It's a very rudimentary action game with some fairly sloppy gameplay mechanics and AI that's so bad it might as well have been programmed by some sort of weasel-like creature. [Sept 2006, p.81]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

But for this season, pay the extra bucks and go with EA's NHL 07 instead. [Nov. 2006, p.110]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

Ultimately, it's a good, pirate-heavy distraction but, thanks to the game's repetitiveness, it won't do much to keep your attention past the first few levels. [Oct. 2006, p.91]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

Straightforward, short, yet ultimately fun arcade port. [Jan 2002, p.142]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

If you think toying around with the track editor sounds like $10 worth of fun, check this out. If not, don't bother. [Apr 2003, p.87]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

Yet another pretty--but shallow--anime-based fighting game from Bandai that offers some good fun for about an hour.- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

The grandaddy of all PS2 baseball sims needs a big face-lift. [May 2004, p.99]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

Look, I appreciate a challenge as much as the next guy, but frankly, I'm tired of getting my ass kicked. [Nov 2003, p.142]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

A bummer - it's a tragic tale of missed opportunities, as a funny, engaging platformer shines through the me-too muck. [Nov 2004, p.124]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

NASCAR lacks a rearview mirror option, which is crucial in a game where you're almost constantly surrounded by other cars. [Nov. 2006, p.122]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

The season and extra modes are all pretty standard, offering little beyond what's been out there nearly since the inception of videogame basketball. [Jan. 2007, p.70]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

The game's still shallow, but on the PSP, ease of play becomes a virtue. It's still not fantastic, but it's a passable novelty with a great license. [Nov 2005, p.121]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

When I was a kid, I used to play my sister in "Summer Games" on our Apple IIe. In Athens 2004, I discovered that Olympics-type gameplay hasn't evolved one iota in the past 20 years. [Aug 2004, p.93]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

Ironically, MCL turns out to be a better boobtastic party game than "The Guy Game." [Dec 2004, p.118]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

It's dull to look at, and, due to a lapse back into the more tactical, strategic gameplay that categorizes all of Koei's other war games, it's also fairly dull to play. [Apr 2004, p.100]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

Solid voice acting from the entire cast of the show, unlockables aplenty, and cool quips almost - but not quite - sweeten the sour medicine that is Futurama to the point of redemption. [Sept 2003, p.92]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine
