Everything is presented in a hilariously over-the-top Japanese interpretation of the American truck-driver scene. [Apr 2003, p.63]

More often than not, I found myself totally absorbed in this moment, rocking back and forth like an idiot while my heart raced as the finish neared. [May 2003, p.74]

Unlike other companies that concentrate on visuals, High Heat puts its energies on the fundamentals that make a great baseball game. [Apr 2003, p.71]

There's certainly potential here, albeit squandered (in my opinion) on the Wii where like so many of its games, the hook--waving the Wiimote--is more curse than cool. [Dec 2007, p.81]

As expected, the story is completely convoluted, but the twists are still surprising (if not infuriating), resulting in a worthy but very different addition to the franchise. [May 2005, p.67]

Unlike other companies that concentrate on visuals, High Heat puts its energies on the fundamentals that make a great baseball game. [Apr 2003, p.71]

Brings a fresh chapter to the stagnant SRPG genre. [Aug 2005, p.49]

Chaotic fun, but poorly balanced chaotic fun. [Sept 2006, p.59]

It may look plain, but Polarium is a game that really etched itself into my brain. [June 2005, p.86]

A deep, refreshingly stylistic adventure that lets you play at the pitch you desire. [Dec 2002, p.83]

It's made for kids and nothing spectacular, but old-school platform fans will eat it up. [Aug 2005, p.56]

I'll give em this: It's never boring, always whacked out of its mind, and the control throughout delivers...Nunchuk or not. So in closing, may the Sponge be with you. [Dec. 2006, p.62]

A delightful movie game that's sure to satisfy. [Nov p.92]

The game's depth and customization is quite strong, as is its sweeping storyline, but the overall presentation, and user interface especially, are quite unfriendly to those who don't live and breathe grid-lined maps and screens overflowing with stats. [Aug 2006, p.65]

A leaden feel of backtracking and other nags here and there tie the game down from anything memorable. [May 2005, p.54]

While each individual boxer's signature music is entirely in tune with their caricature, the stage music is mostly limp and repetitive, a strange turn of events in an otherwise nicely polished game. [Mar 2003, p.50]

The game packs some decent chills and engaging action when it's working ,carry over some addictive, classic deathmatch play into the online arena. [Jan 2006, p.37]

The control scheme just doesn't feel as tactile and appropriate. The courses feel awfully familiar, despite being a little less flashy. The energy level doesn't seem quite as high, the presentation doesn't grab you with as much gusto. [Apr 2007, p.42]

For the most part, players become spectators in their own war, forced to play only the tiniest of roles in the successes and defeats of their armies. [Apr 2006, p.72]
