While I really like beating the crap out of my caddy (girl on girl never looked so good), I wish the interface had a few more nuances and a more comphrehensive putting mechanism. [Jan 2003, p.78]- Play Magazine

With great control, good graphics, and a very intense level of action, sweat will be dripping from your brow in no time. [Dec 2002, p.84]- Play Magazine

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

I've just played the most majestic, delicately crafted role-playing game since "Chrono Cross." [Dec 2002, p.77]- Play Magazine

The tuning issues associated with the PS2 version have been ironed out and the overall presentation - frame-rate, control, balance, etc. - have all been aptly tweaked for the GameCube version. [Nov 2002, p.96]- Play Magazine

Where else can you skate to Iron Maiden, AC/DC, De La Soul, Public Enemy and the Sex Pistols? "Evolution Skateboarding"? Yeah, right! [Dec 2002, p.76]- Play Magazine

A great videogame filled with some of the most impressive visuals you'll ever see, dripping with style and oozing with funk-essence. [Nov 2002, p.82]- Play Magazine

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

Aside from the usual -- parts loosening and eventually falling off, real-time deformation, etc. -- the cars in V3 accumulate dirt, mud and snow, in real-time including build up on the windshield that fades in progressively as you complete each leg. [Jan 2003, p.74]- Play Magazine

Though the mini-games are all new, things haven't changed much from the previous entries. [Dec 2002, p.82]- Play Magazine

Packed with nuances that, for aspiring fans and drivers must really float their Skoal. Drafting, line selection, pitting...this is a great simulation covering 20 seasons. Not for me. [Oct 2002, p.84]- Play Magazine

Besides a real lack of polish on the models and backgrounds in Dimension, it just feels mediocre when stacked against competition like "DOA," "Kakuto Chojin," and "MK Deadly Alliance." [Jan 2003, p.81]- Play Magazine

Look past the shaky dialogue and you'll find a strong RPG that will especially satisfy fans of the series. [Nov 2002, p.60]- Play Magazine

A basic first-person shooter with the action quotient set on full throttle, but everything about TimeSplitters 2 is handled skillfully and stylishly, pieced together with a scintillating polish. [Nov 2002, p.64]- Play Magazine
