Frustrating....It's not just that the level is tough, it's that the entire thing is filled with situations designed to prolong the game's length. [Sept 2002, p.114]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

Adequate. But even at its best, it's merely mediocre. [Sept 2002, p.119]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

It's quite ironic that a game based on a license that is the progenitor of sci-fi gaming ends up feeling like a kludgy, mediocre hodge-podge of better sci-fi shooters. [Nov 2003, p.147]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

While Revelations adds a moderate amount of content to "Warrior Within", at its core it is essentially the same game. [Mar 2006, p.92]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

Tries so hard to be good, but fails at just about every turn. [Dec 2001, p.169]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

The actual gameplay is so appallingly unimaginative, so awfully monotonous that by the end of it, I was wondering why they even bothered making a game out of it. [Jan 2004, p.124]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

Like that hot chick at the bar - good looking but boring after five minutes. [Apr 2006, p.95]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

Rather than craft a generic beat-em-up that follows the plot of the film, THQ has created sort of a kiddie version of "The Sims". [Oct. 2006, p.88]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

Merely a decent game dragged to mediocrity by general tedium and a horridly paced beginning. [Mar 2004, p.98]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

Ultimately, it's the style and absurdity that make Killer7 bearable. You're almost willing to deal with terrible loading times, poor puzzles, and weak shooting mechanics just to see what kind of madness will happen next. [Aug 2005, p.88]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

Even if you're a "Cars" nut, there's very little to get excited about on the PSP besides teh movie clips included in this game. [Aug 2006, p.82]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

No game will drive you to REM sleep like Rapala Pro Fishing, the greatest sedative available for PS2. [Oct 2004, p.98]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

If you're a hugh One Piece fan, then dive in; otherwise, find an alternative. [Nov. 2006, p.114]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

Generic racing game wrapped inside a cheesy candy shell. With guns. [Nov 2005, p.118]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

While the show features remarkably choreographed fight scenes (certainly by television standards, much less so in general), the game's fights are stilted and spastic.- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

The visuals might pass for first-generation quality at best. [August 2002, p.110]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

The battles are too tough for all the wrong reasons. [Feb 2002, p.116]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

Whereas I fully expected it to be the worst game of the PlayStation party game genre...Super Party actually revealed itself as the best. [Jan 2003, p.131]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

YYH's problem is with the controls, which are shallow yet complicated. [Jan 2005, p.107]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

Why bother with this one when there are so many better games out there? [Jan 2003, p.140]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

Graphics are average at best, combat is kind of shaky, and the actual quests are rather uninspired. [Sept 2002, p.117]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

Throw in lukewarm A.I. and some clipping problems, and you've got a scary, pretty game that's just not a whole lot of fun to play. [Sept 2004, p.96]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

With the exception of some very slight aesthetic changes and a new slate of 3,200 puzzles, this is the exact same home version of Wheel that we saw on PS1. [Jan 2004, p.130]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

Passing is this game's big problem... Otherwise, the flaw that perturbs me most is the lack of special moves. [Dec 2002, p.171]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

While multiplayer is a nice feature, its novelty wears thin quickly since part of the fun is being in a hectic firefight with several enemies and not just a couple of people.- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

The ideas that drive the game are really good, and this could have easily become the best Predator game to date, except for all the mediocrity. [July 2005, p.77]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

With a better targeting system and more free-form gameplay, this could have been a winner. [Dec 2005, p.130]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

In every way that matters, College 2K3 doesn't hold a candle to EA Sports' benchmark NCAA series. [Sept 2002, p.115]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine
