Someone, please think of the children and put an end to this crap. [Mar 2002, p.72]

Better than the original one in just about every respect. [Holiday 2001, p.79]

This series is beginning to look less like a unique PC off-road racer and more like a console-port knockoff with each incarnation. [Mar 2002, p.74]

Just a kiddie console racer in PC clothing. [Mar 2002, p.74]

Just like "Civ II," it blends a simple start with a vast array of options and pulls them together into a detailed, compelling, and seamless gaming experience. [Holiday 2001, p.65]

As it stands right now, this game is a mess. [Jan 2002, p.77]

A must own for soccer fans. [Feb 2002, p. 73]

A terrific concept that isn’t terribly far away from realizing its full potential. [Feb 2002, p.72]

Aside from the move to 3D graphics and the requisite new spells and characters, changes or enhancement are surprisingly lacking in this sequel. [Feb 2002, p.67]

And really, Lineage isn’t much fun. [Feb 2002, p.80]

Adding to the frustration is that too often you’ll crash when landing, even though you’re lined up perfectly with the ramp. [Holiday 2001, p.62]
