The game is huge fun to play, but I can't say that I enjoyed the experience more than the N64 version. [Sept 2003, p.77]

Take everything you could possibly desire from a manic downhill assault and amplify it by 10. [Aug 2003, p.76]

The game shows high points of inspiration and technical achievement, but there is a pallor of inelegance and flat artistry that too often leaves the work in the hands of the gameplay. [Sept 2003, p.76]

While the social aspect is very interesting in Galaxies, the combat is relatively boring and uninspiring. If I have to shoot one more hopping rodent (to gain experience) I'm going to scream! [Sept 2003, p.85]

The experience comes across as rather dry, and while I don't need sizzle when I have steak, the boxing-like gameplay is also pretty drab. [July 2003, p.79]

Aside from a few camera issues, Outlaw Volleyball plays incredibly well. Unlike "DOAX" where it was all about timing, Outlaw Volleyball relies on position and aiming as well. [June 2003, p.71]

An exercise in repetition and costume changes that's part ragged arcade fighter and part "oh God, why am I playing this?" [Sept 2003, p.80]

Instead of the marketing-driven production you might expect, Pirates of the Caribbean is a deep and interesting role-playing experience. [Sept 2003, p.81]

Instead of the marketing-driven production you might expect, Pirates of the Caribbean is a deep and interesting role-playing experience. [Sept 2003, p.81]

While the game is still good fun, its kid-friendly finish and slightly dated graphics make less of an impact than it might have if released a year ago. [July 2003, p.79]

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

The animation is sweet, depth of faces and places deep like Def Poetry, the play mechanics are superb and the controls are nicely laid. [July 2003, p.79]

Most disappointing, the drab use of color and flat architecture design show a basic lack of aesthetic awareness. [Aug 2003, p.77]

The iso-view takes a little getting used to, as does the point-and-go control, but once you're in the groove it's all good, from the animation to the super cool cutscenes and familiar level design. [Apr 2003, p.64]

Despite the fun combat, decent visuals and eclectic but strangely catchy soundtrack, the lack of depth and unfulfilling story left me lukewarm and yearning for another adventure with Arc, Elc or Alec... A solid RPG, nothing less, but nothing more. [July 2003, p.75]

This game just feels like Star Trek. Star Trek with big, death-dealing guns. Star Trek that kicks some ass. [Aug 2003, p.72]

The graphics and music are pretty nice, and the license is put to excellent use with digitized cutscenes and top-notch dialogue, but it could have been a lot more. [Sept 2003, p.81]

Almost everything about MMBN3 is so similar to previous games in the series, it's hard to tell that you're playing a new game. [May 2003, p.60]

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]

For someone who feeds off of the connection between game and player, the kind of connection that only the very best can forge, an hour of Wario is worth ten of a game that only pays of sporadically. Wario World pays off every second I'm holding the controller, and that, to me, is greatness. [June 2003, p.60]

Still a blast to play, but it's not as impressive as it once was and the controls suffer (specifically, using turbo doesn't always work) due to the GBA's reduced-button setup. [Sept 2003, p.80]

The story is brilliant, real-time, and, like they said, dark. The puzzles are simply wicked (bravo that) and Kurtis Trent, possibly the coolest bit player ever. [Aug 2003, p.68]

What you will find is plenty of labyrinth-style gaming, bone-chilling sound effects, gore galore, finely tuned first-person shooting, amazing CG, stunning creature design and crazy detail. [June 2003, p.63]

Ultimately feels like it is a year old, and its technical limitations hurt the finer parts of the game. [July 2003, p.72]

While DX is polished somewhat, the ancillary models reamain in a sad state, the pop-up is rampant, the special effects dated, and the collision detection, sadly, is still far from acceptable. [July 2003, p.78]

RTX shocked me with its design, music, and especially story integration which borders on greatness. [Aug 2003, p.77]

I just couldn't sink my teeth into the game, mostly because of the seven-character-based non-linear play, which left me a bit disinterested. I guess I like my games more straighforward. [June 2003, p.57]

To date, the essential DBZ gme. Go Atari! [Aug 2003, p.76]
