    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]

    The game thus degenerates into pick up object, throw, repeat. [Dec 2001, p.174]

    Horrible joke of a driving game...created for the cheesecake, and the cheesecake alone. [Apr 2002, p.109]

    No, it’s not good at all. And it sure as heck ain’t gonna win any awards. But it does serve well enough as a mild brainless diversion. [Mar 2002, p.106]

    It's one of the worst-looking titles ever released on the PS1. [June 2003, p.107]

    In the ongoing competition for the PS2's worse title, this game undershines them all.[Oct 2002, p.147]

    That exhaustive level of accuracy severely limits Deer Hunt 2004's appeal... If you don't already know a bit about hunting, you may have a tough time of it. [Nov 2003, p.130]

    As much about the atmosphere of fishing as it is about bait and reel and line strength. [Sept 2003, p.97]

    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]

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

    It doesn't hurt that the controls are spot on, the sound is good, and the graphics move at a fair old lick, either. Saturday won't win any awards for presentation, but it's all competently put together. [June 2004, p.96]

    The control flat-out sucks. I had a rough time moving my fielders, and I can't imagine a chid who has yet to add a second digit to his age faring any better. [June 2004, p.95]

    This title is a steady study of patience, and downing a buck after a seven-minute game of cat-and-mouse is wholly rewarding. [Oct 2004, p.98]

    Am I the only one who is seriously creeped out by the idea of hearing a sexy woman's voice making doubles entendres while I'm reeling in a freaking fish? [July 2002, p.103]

    Besides updated rosters, the game features little else...[but i]f you're stuck playing PSone football, Madden still reigns supreme. [Nov 2002, p.196]

    Real, real boring. It's the same freakin' game it's been since 1998 with new rosters. That's it. [Nov 2003, p.148]
