Seeing [the Force] used within the cockpit of a spaceship just doesn't give the desired effect. [May 2002, p.103]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

The graphics here are subpar for PS2, the animation is choppy, the level design is awful, and the controls and interface are almost impressively awkward. [June 2002, p.99]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

This game is hard – we're talking brutal, controller-throwing frustration here. The biggest problem is the control scheme. Frankly, it sucks. [May 2002, p.99]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

With this game a 100-mph fastball feels like its coming in at 380...The ball comes in too fast. [May 2002, p.99]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

"NBA 2K2" is still the obvious choice for basketball fans. But 2Night's stock remains on the rise. [May 2002, p.99]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

When I took a break from playing, sat back and really thought about it, I realized that I really couldn’t care less if I never played this game again. And that’s just not right. [Mar 2002, p.104]- Official U.S. Playstation Magazine
