I suppose MMBCC pulls off the light strategy it's attempting well enough, but I'm afraid that doesn't make it any more fun to play. [Jan 2004, p.76]- Play Magazine

- Critic Score
A rather straightforward 3D brawler, with enemies materializing in a green haze and fairly begging to be dispatched with prejudice. [Oct 2005, p.55]- Play Magazine
-
- Critic Score
It's gritty and grey, a joy to control, and above all, it's unique in its presentation, allowing the player to play as human or dragon. [Dec 2002, p.88]- Play Magazine

SK's not for everyone, but fans should be beside themselves. [Jan 2005, p.70]- Play Magazine

- Critic Score
Takes the action-shooter genre and shoves it straight through the Blanderizer 6235 to ensure any sense of novelty possibly contained therein meets is brutal end. [May 2005, p.50]- Play Magazine

Graphics and sound it has, but fun is in short supply. [April 2002, p.66]- Play Magazine

This ain't debatable. The Italian Job is far too short, clocking in at barely a few hours of play in the Story Mode. [Aug 2003, p.75]- Play Magazine

The action is tight, the feel gritty and the soundtrack definitely metal. [Mar 2007, p.]- Play Magazine

Better than "Spiderman," but it still could have been better." [Jan 2003, p.58]- Play Magazine

Hardcore fans will probably be let down by Marz's lack of focus compared to previous entries, and newcomers will probably be put off by its initially very curious control style. [Nov 2003, p.81]- Play Magazine

Eureka Seven is a tasty side dish, but it doesn't satisfy as a meal. [Oct. 2006, p.59]- Play Magazine

A fabulous dungeon crawler, and easily the best PSP RPG to hit our shores. [Mar 2007, p.71]- Play Magazine

Sure, it's fast and the courses have all the dips and loops that one would expect, but there's no satisfaction in the piloting of the craft. [Jan 2003, p.79]- Play Magazine

Lair has come together beautifully... With its stunning visuals and incredible soundtrack, Lair may well be the single most powerful experience that a man can share with his $5,000 home theatre system. [Aug 2007, p.64]- Play Magazine

For the GBA, 'Zilla should have been planned as a no-nonsense 2D beat-'em-up. This just isn't fun. [May 2003, p.63]- Play Magazine

The control is simple yet fun and the tracks, consistently impressive. [Aug 2003, p.75]- Play Magazine

Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 is the Mannhattan Project for video game jiggle physics. Sadly, this is not enough for Tecmo's dress up deluxe simulator for Xbox 360. [Jan. 2007, p.69]- Play Magazine

The gameplay is a real throwback to those THQ SNES action-platformers of old, right down to the floaty control. [Nov 2007, p.75]- Play Magazine

With a sparse Saturday-morning-cartoon look, the game can become a drag for the adult eye, but just like the best of those cartoons, a certain charm bubbles below the surface. [Jan 2004, p.65]- Play Magazine

Due to adjustments made to the diagnosis, vertical movement is often an exercise in frustration. [Aug 2004, p.61]- Play Magazine

Blade II's got enough meat flyin', head choppin', body-disintegrating action to fill any daywalker's dance card along with some cool beats and beautiful interiors. [Nov 2002, p.94]- Play Magazine

So if you're looking for some bone-chilling survival horror that's a horse of a different color, tuition is only $29.99. [Apr 2008, p.63]- Play Magazine

The epitome of a solid game: smooth engine, well-balanced gameplay, slick interface...My only real problem with the game is the amount of backtracking involved. [Mar 2004, p.59]- Play Magazine

Save for the perspective glitches indicative of an older engine, Dawn of Fate delivers a fitting game based on the resilient Terminator franchise. [Oct 2002, p.76]- Play Magazine

The game falls apart in its execution. Quite frankly, it's not very fun to play. [Dec 2002, p.90]- Play Magazine

A cool concept (handled "PSO" style) for sure, that's unfortunately tethered to stiff controls, an antiquated camera with no look button, and gameplay devices ripe for retirement. [Jan 2005, p.68]- Play Magazine
