The problem is that you never get a sense of what you've won and lost. I'd like a betting ticket to help me remember my bets. [Sept 2002, p.118]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

This game plays with Warrick Dunn quickness, and the player models are the best in the business. But somehow the athletes feel sluggish, like they're chugging along with a slab of marble Velcroed to their backs. [Sept 2002, p.117]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

NCAA 2003 comes so close to perfection that you really have to wonder if Tiburon can top itself again next year. [Sept 2002, p.114]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine
