A shot in the arm that makes me enthusiastic about a PS2 ShootOut prospect. [Nov 2001, p.166]- 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

Just pick up "NCAA 2003" and forget this one even exists. [Oct 2002, p.149]- 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

Easily the worst modern game of its genre. [Oct 2001, p.134]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

It's sad to see an old franchise become something so generic. [Feb 2004, p.102]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

Unfortunately, you have to keep playing through the adventure portion of the game, and it really isn't all that worth it unless you're the most ardent fan of monkeys inside balls. [Oct. 2006, p.87]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

Mutant Nightmare has improvements over its predecessors here and there, like a better camera and nice graphics, but when the basic game is this boring, that's about as useful as replacing the air freshener in a house build in the sewers. [Dec 2005, p.123]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

The monotony of item collecting will turn anyone off long before frustration over poor control sets in. [May 2005, p.96]- 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

Even worse, it doesn't do the stuff you've seen before with much panache. It's not comic - it's tragic. [Nov 2005, p.90]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

Ultimately, what Virtua Quest proves is that putting great characters into a lousy game doesn't make the game any less lousy. It just robs those characters of their dignity. [Feb 2005, p.87]- 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

It's mercifully short but painfully boring. [May 2004, p.97]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

Defending myself from a shark attack would be more entertaining. [Aug 2006, p.77]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

Apart from the cheese factor, Gangs simply fails at the basics. [Nov. 2006, p.120]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

The entire package seems like it could have used a little more polish, too. [Apr 2002, p.104]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

A great game for the over-30 crowd, though, which is something we don't get to say often. [Dec 2004, p.108]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

There's something fundamentally wrong with a game that lets you finish a few stages without even looking at the screen. [May 2004, p.101]- 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

Is it really that smurfin' hard to smurf up someone who at least sounds like the original voice actors? [June 2001, p.103]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

Nice touches like graphics and gameplay elements ultimately don't disguise this fighter's lack of depth. [Oct 2005, p.107]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

With the exception of a few factual glitches (it's Shadowcat that can walk through walls, not Nightcrawler), the game's pretty solid and fun overall. [July 2006, p.76]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

Underneath the offensive layer of crap that coats every facet of this version is a more than adequate game desperately trying to get out. [Feb 2002, p.113]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

Given the heritage, and the burden it carries as a flag-bearer for videogaming, it's appalling... The biggest issue I have with it is that the controls are atrocious. [Sept 2003, p.90]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine
