What does hold the game back a bit is a design that emphasizes collecting items or similar objectives within small stages instead of focusing on grand level design and epic boss battles. [Aug 2005, p.57]- Play Magazine

But here again, another fun idea inevitably joins what feels like a game thrown together out of genre spare parts. [May 2005, p.39]- Play Magazine

A mostly successful game that feels like it's simply bored of its own existence. [Aug 2005, p.47]- Play Magazine

The whole concoction makes for one super-stylized, decidedly different action game. [May 2005, p.43]- Play Magazine

There's a ton of mission variety, but whatever your pleasure, you're going to be doing a lot of driving to specified points on the map and entering a lot of red circles to initiate a lot of scripted events. [Aug 2005, p.48]- Play Magazine

Even the most gruesome crime scenes have a haunting beauty about them...it's almost a strange intertwining of reality and the surreal. [June 2005, p.50]- Play Magazine

A few rough edges aside, Advent Rising is gaming's latest and most promising future epic. [July 2005, p.74]- Play Magazine

What's typical by SNK standards equates to a few hours of incredible old-school adrenaline rush. [June 2005, p.54]- Play Magazine

I had hours of fun with Twisted anyway, but I prefer "Touched" or the original. [July 2005, p.82]- Play Magazine

Unfortunately, there isn't a Franchise mode in MVP, but there is a great season mode, as well as an addictive Homerun Showdown. [May 2005, p.71]- Play Magazine

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

I really like the look of the game, with its rich color palette and vivid lighting, and the presentation is top-notch. [July 2005, p.79]- Play Magazine

Experiencing Haunting Ground, I felt something new and bold as much as traditional and expected from the horror genre. [May 2005, p.46]- Play Magazine

The game's a tad short for my taste, although if you're looking for pure action, RoTS is the way to go. [July 2005, p.79]- Play Magazine

The value here ultimately comes down to the creativity of the Pariah community. Decent package overall. [June 2005, p.51]- Play Magazine

A very nice alternative to "GT4." Though its physics engine provides a proper challenge, the game itself is simpler and easier to pick up and make make progress. If you haven't got time for "GT4," play this instead. [May 2005, p.40]- Play Magazine

My only focused gripe though is with the leaner trick system, which had been downgraded from implementation across the PS2's four shoulder buttons to a single PSP button. Small gripe. [May 2005, p.70]- Play Magazine

You don't need to be an experienced MMO player to have fun with this game, and you don't need a beast of a PC to run the game smoothly. [July 2005, p.80]- Play Magazine

There's a big list of moves and attacks, but you never find any worthwhile ways to use them as the game devolves into tiresome plough-ahead combat. [June 2005, p.56]- Play Magazine

What sets Stella Deus apart from its predecessors, aside from its unique look... is the immensity and complexity of the overall quest. [May 2005, p.36]- Play Magazine
