    One of the very best sports titles available for the GBA - almost as good as "Mario Tennis" on the old SNES. [Summer 2002, p.24]

    Overall, we'd prefer death to torture, and perhaps both to an extended session playing this game. [Winter 2002, p.47]

    • 40 Critic Score
    A sloppy and unimaginative attempt at turning Frogger into a platform hero. Uninspired and definitely tired. [Summer 2002, p.24]

    • 45 Critic Score
    Some games just can't be done justice on a hand-held system, and this is one of them. [Winter 2003, p.34]

    • 88 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    A deep and addictive game, and the two-player link makes it an instant classic. [Summer 2002, p.36]

    Even fans of old-school RPGs will find themselves with a nagging sense of deja-vu. Disappointing. [Summer 2002, p.22]

    Playable, but far from great. [Winter 2002, p.34]

    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The levels have too few checkpoints - die mid-way through, and you'll usually go all the way bck to the beginning. [Winter 2002, p.46]

    • 53 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    For all those who have ever yearned to toss pies and slap faces with reckless abandon, this is the game for you. [Winter 2002, p.46]

    Like it or not, this is an old game, and the play mechanics are archaic by today's standards. [Winter 2002, p.36]

    If this were the last game on Earth, we'd probably leave in a spaceship that we'd built for the express purpose of avoiding it. [Summer 2002, p.36]

    It's not exactly action-packed, but the slow pace of Broken Sword is paid for with great puzzles and a well-thought out plot. [Summer 2002, p.38]

    • 64 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Surprisingly realistic for a hand-held video game. [Summer 2002, p.34]

    The ability to unlock new boards and edit the tricks and stats of all 13 real-world skaters also adds great replay value. [Summer 2002, p.26]

    • 40 Critic Score
    Limited attack options and flawed strategy on the map segments leaves Z.O.E. flat on its robot butt. [Summer 2002, p.26]

    An excellent illustration of why games don't need fancy 3D graphics to be good. [Summer 2002, p.28]

    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It isn't quite as addictive as some of the others. [Spring 2002, p.43]

    • 87 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    It looks, sounds and plays like a cartoon, and most importantly, it's just damend fun. [Spring 2002, p.30]

    • 82 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Despite its small stature, the game packs more punch than many brawlers 10 times its size. [Summer 2002, p.32]

    • 40 Critic Score
    It's boring - the worst crime you can commit. [Summer 2002, p.32]

    The formula is as old as the hills but it still works, thankfully, in this game. Good, solid stuff. [Winter 2001, p.50]

    • 33 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    Has the feel of a hasty port, which is par for the course with Mortal Kombat games these days. But fun for a short while. [Summer 2003, p.30]
    • Pocket Games
    • 58 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    The game is packed with cheap hits, such as enemies who shoot at you from off-screen... Poor controls. Ack! [Spring 2002, p.43]

    • 60 Critic Score
    Although the control and level designs are excellent, the game suffers from a lack of originality. [Spring 2002, p.40]
    • Pocket Games

    • 90 Critic Score
    Extremely polished from start to finish, and a worthy addition to any FPS fan's game library. [Spring 2002, p.38]
    • Pocket Games
    • 73 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A fun, lighthearted romp that expands on an arcade classic instead of spoiling it. [Spring 2002, p.39]
