If there were more track variation, more weapons, and a bit more effort in the presentation, M.A.C.H. could have easily have been a must-have PSP game. [Apr 2007, p.86]

Plays as though its developers were simply going through the motions. There are better third-person military shooters out there...lots of them. [June 2004, p.27]

So while nowhere near as sophisticated or well-produced as, say, a “Final Fantasy”, MS Saga does take a good 50-60 hours to churn through, and there’s a decent challenge hiding under its deceptively cutesy surface. [Mar 2006,p.85]

Within the first few seconds of this game you know you are in well-worn territory. [Sep 2006, p.86]

The game still holds up nicely today, and on a platform lacking quality titles in the platforming-action genre, you really can't do better than this. [Feb 2006, p.84]

Boss battles are simple, yet well done, incorporating Jack's whip-like Soul Robber and a musical rhythm sub-game that's just very cool. [Nov 2005, p.76]

The gameplay isn't as gripping and the characters aren't as interesting as other rhythm action games. [May 2002, p.30]

Plagued with underdeveloped AI and repetitive, clunky gameplay, SHBV is one of the least appealing games of 2003. [Sept 2003, p.38]

The actual gameplay itself is woefully shallow. [Oct 2002, p.40]

The learning curve is still frustrating, and control of in-air rotation (particularly in flips) is sluggish. [Feb 2002, p.42]

A surprisingly deep, well-written, and entertaining action RPG that offers lots of customization, co-op play, and a great game universe. [Mar 2004, p.28]

The key to Operation Surma is in the challenge and entertainment value that's provided, and that should get you your money's worth. [Feb 2004, p.38]

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

Jennifer Garner is hot - sizzling hot - to be exact, but sadly, her game is just lukewarm. As a result, even die-hard Alias fans may be let down by this game. [June 2004, p.29]

All in all, once you get over the fact that Shining Force EXA isn't a "Shining Force" in the strictest sense, you'll be hacking and slashing your way to a darned good time. [May 2007, p.80]

Responsive controls, awesome artificial intelligence, and a presentation that truly rocks are only some of the reasons you should own this game. [Dec 2003, p.41]

Aside from a few bum mini-games and some confusing pre-game setup, RRR is a very amusing collection of random delights. [Mar 2007, p.86]

Enchanted Arms uses all the familiar constructs of the genre, playing as if developers went down a checklist of what a Japanese RPG should feature and made sure to include them all. [June 2007, p.82]

Sure, it's still playable; it's just not fantastic. [Sept 2005, p.78]

Calling Flipnic a pinball game is a lot like calling "Grand Theft Auto" a game where you steal cars - it just doesn't convey the breadth and variety of the gameplay. [Aug 2005, p.83]
