Obviously targeted at a younger audience, and it lacks that extra kick we expect from our 90 proof platformers, but it's still not bad. [Dec 2004, p.79]

It's huge and solidly designed, it controls well, and the levels, while admittedly linear, are filled with hidden items, secrets, and some fun activities. [Jan 2004, p.29]

Unfortunately, each gorgeous game can be finished in about an hour. [June 2005, p.78]

Juiced 2 puts on a good front, but runs out of, well, juice far too quickly to bet $60 on such a middle-of-the-road experience. [Dec 2007, p.88]

Great-looking platform game with clever puzzles and excellent character designs. [Holiday 2004, p.86]

What P.T.O. IV really needed, however, was a heavier emphasis on enemy crunching rather than number crunching. [Mar 2003, p.38]

The biggest feather in the game's cap lies in it's amazing battle system. [Feb 2002, p.42]

It would be easy to write off Rogue Trooper as just another third-person shooter since that's what it pretty much is. Run, gun, a little stealth for flavor--that sort of thing. [July 2006, p.86]

In both single and online modes, it definitely has its problems, but as an attempt to expand the scope of the RE universe, it isn't all bad. [June 2004, p.22]

It's undeniably cool to participate in shaping history, but not everyone will have the patience to conquer China. [Sept 2005, p.75]

Another strange weakness is the storytelling, which glosses over key events and explains itself so poorly that if you don't know the story already, you might not figure it out. [Jan 2003, p.36]

If you've enjoyed the past two "Altelier Iris" games, tonelico is more of the same. [Mar 2007, p.86]

On the downside, 2K need to seriously fire their testers--we did a double-take checking to see that we were playing a final build of the game with all the gonzo A.I. and animation glitches we ran into. [May 2007, p.83]

The thrills stop abruptly after you beat five tracks. [Holiday 2004, p.86]

The camera problems, and the loose puzzle structure add up to more frustration than fun. [May 2002, p.28]

Solid fun overall. [Nov 2007, p.84]

Its biggest fault is the fact that - underwater setting or not - it's very plodding for an action game, due in large part to some overly cumberson controls. [Nov 2002, p.54]

Truly immersing players into the role of their gamma-powered Hercules, Hulk successfully combines tough boss battles, unique visuals, and beat-'em-up gameplay into one satisfying package. [Aug 2003, p.30]

The biggest problem is that it's just very simple and easy - proabably a side effect of being made for a broad audience. [July 2004, p.27]

Graphics are average, and the physics are impressive, though load times are excruciatingly long. [Dec 2005, p.108]

Alas, the ridiculous lengthy load times sap much of the fun, and the game only gets really interesting when you play with friends in ad hoc mode. [Jun 2006, p.87]

If you're a Worms fan, Open Warfare will merely fill your need for a portable version. If you've never liked the series before, don't expect this game to change your mind. [Jun 2006, p.85]

The bar for this type of game is higher now, and it seems the castlevania series is simply struggling to keep up. [Dec 2005, p.106]

A total guilty pleasure, but a pleasure nonetheless. [Holiday 2004, p.94]

Suffers from two major problems: its gameplay can get tedious, and the story progresses very slowly. [Feb 2002, p.44]

Though the basic premise and gameplay are still solid, the cut and paste approach for each installment is spreading a bit thin three games in. [Oct 2003, p.30]

The heavy use of sniping scopes provides an exciting sense of realism, as do the look, feel of recoil, and reload animations of the guns. [Mar 2004, p.32]

This is every strategy-action gamer's dream. [Oct 2004, p.34]
