While it may still fall a bit short in terms of the gameplay engine when compared to Konami's offering, the options and game modes available in FIFA 2004 are more than enough to keep it neck and neck (or foot, as it were) with the competition. [Dec 2003, p.46]- PSM Magazine

The complete Arc The Lad experience (including extra goodies) is an otaku's dream come true. [Jan 2002]- PSM Magazine

While the game is substantive enough for everyone, it is the fans who will really appreciate it. Fans, rejoice - this is the best Transformers game yet. [July 2004, p.22]- PSM Magazine

The best collection of arcade-style racing games ever assembled. [Nov 2005, p.90]- PSM Magazine

We still think the hawk should take a year off, but this is nonetheless a great game. [Holiday 2005, p.76]- PSM Magazine

Though it might not be as classic as its predecessors, Rayman 3 remains a thoroughly enjoyable experience. [Apr 2003, p.36]- PSM Magazine

Single player still falls down a tad, but there's simply no better party game available for PlayStation 2. [Aug 2004, p.28]- PSM Magazine

Fortunately, 3DO listened to complaints from last year's game and greatly improved the presentation with much graphics and animation, and amazingly accurate commentary. [Mar 2002, p.26]- PSM Magazine

In the best surprise we've had in months, The Simpsons: Hit & Run is a massive action adventure that truly rocks, proving that you can never judge a game by its licensed cover. [Nov 2003, p.43]- PSM Magazine

A great RPG that shouldn't be missed. [July 2005, p.83]- PSM Magazine

The beautiful, fun RPG that we always wanted to see from the series, and it brings the epic storyline to its dramatic conclusion. [Oct 2006, p.78]- PSM Magazine

Looks great, controls well, and has more explosions per square inch than any three other games. We love it. [Feb 2003, p.34]- PSM Magazine

This game has got to have on of the worst camera systems in an RPG ever. [Oct 2002, p.38]- PSM Magazine

One of the best-looking, best-playing adventure games on PS2, POP: TSOT could have been even better had more attention been given to its plot. [Holiday 2003, p.25]- PSM Magazine

As a completely turn-based RPG with heavy strategy elements, Gladius's incredibly deliberate pace will try all but the most hardcore RPG'er's patience. Still, if you give it a chance, there's a lot to love. [Dec 2003, p.50]- PSM Magazine

That said, GH Encore is a great game that's just as fun to play as GH1 and 2, and although it's not for everybody, if you're an '80s fan it's absolutely worth the price of admission. [Sept 2007, p.72]- PSM Magazine

A music-editing tool that is both powerful and easy to use, MTV Music Generator 3 is a likely hit with all music lovers. Too bad there isn't more variety in the song list, though. [Aug 2004, p.30]- PSM Magazine

The Lockdown Stick returns from last year, giving you the ability to force premature shots or even edge opponents out of bounds. Bottom line: It's fun! [Mar 2007, p.85]- PSM Magazine

A truly fun experience... The PS2 has needed a WW2 flight sim for some time. This is very cool. [Holiday 2003, p.40]- PSM Magazine

Field commotion aside, the best reason to huddle up with NCAA is the new Legend mode. [Oct 2006, p.80]- PSM Magazine

Still one of the most rewarding racers out there. Stick with it long enough and you'll be glad that you did. [Nov 2002, p.50]- PSM Magazine

The only weak point is the graphics, which seem a bit unpolished. Otherwise, Conflict: Vietnam is one mean mother tour of duty. [Nov 2004, p.90]- PSM Magazine

Once you break through that long, sleepy quagmire of a start, the game really opens up and delivers an engaging storyline, incredibly memorable characters and a trio of solid combat systems that will keep you on your toes. [Jun 2006, p.83]- PSM Magazine

It's pretty - really, really pretty, with smooth animations, dynamic lighting, and remarkably detailed, solid-looking textures... [But] the story execution falls a bit short. [Feb 2005, p.70]- PSM Magazine

True, it's costly at $40, and control isn't quite dead-on - those old four-way joysticks are hard to emulate - but most everything else is. [Nov 2005, p.96]- PSM Magazine

Visually stunning and incredibly complex, Aero Elite is a work of art that takes time to appreciate. [Apr 2003, p.34]- PSM Magazine

It's an arcade game at its heart, and it's a whole lot of fun. [Aug 2003, p.32]- PSM Magazine

With depth and style, FIFA continues to deliver the goods. [Nov 2004, p.92]- PSM Magazine

Takes all of the classic Bond elements and combines them with solid control, and gameplay variety. Some of the levels are letdowns, but overall, it's a satisfying title. [Apr 2004, p.29]- PSM Magazine
