Unfortunately the game also shares many of the same flaws as its predecessor; the poor draw distance, the camera issues, and the bland story presentation. [Holiday 2006, p.83]

There's just so much to do in Xtreme Legends that any fan will need to pick it up. [Holiday 2005, p.84]

Overall, it's fun and somewhat novel, and there's quite a bit to discover, but there's not enough substance to keep most gamers occupied for long. [May 2007, p.85]

Often tedious and can be a little unfair. [Dec 2004, p.82]

DRIV3R is a mess, little more than an unfinished recycling of GTA cliches, both sterile and juvenile. [Sept 2004, p.25]

A lack of depth and dodgy pacing. [Oct 2003, p.40]

Decent, but it should have been incredible. [May 2002, p.30]

We can only hope the inevitable sequel offers more fighters and modes. [Holiday 2004, p.82]

For heaven's sake, why did they include a quickplay option that chooses two random teams? Who plays a sports game and doesn't want the option to pick their team? [Jan 2003, p.30]

Controls are too sensitive even at the lowest setting, animal AI is set to "charge!" constantly, and collision detection is rugged. [Jan 2004, p.48]

Picture a surfer being tossed into a vicious undertow--that uncontrollable motion is how fighting through Dawn of Mana feels. [June 2007, p.82]

Other than hovertanks that are slower than your baby sister in her bouncy chair and a camera that the testers overlooked, Battlezone is mildly fun, in a "Jaws Unleashed", beat-your-head-against-a-wall sort of way. [Feb. 2007, p.86]

The overall flow of the game is erratic and the defensive AI is dreadful. [Apr 2005, p.78]

The generic rock soundtrack can't save the mediocre graphics. [May 2002, p.28]

A surprisingly fun little way to pass the time for less than twenty bucks. [May 2003, p.36]

If you already own NASCAR 07, there's really substantially nothing new here. [Nov 2007, p.87]

Rather short, but it feels like an eternity when you have to plod through bland levels to fetch items and you'd literally rather be watching the cutscenes instead. [Apr 2005, p.74]

At this rate, Konami should just delete the series and hope that whatever's wrong with Contagion isn't actually contagious. [June 2007, p.82]

A simplistic combat engine prevents this game from shining. [Jan 2004, p.46]

Just another mediocre RPG: one that feels suspiciously like a "Final Fantasy" knockoff, at that. [Nov 2007, p.88]

The action in this game is somewhat undercut by loose control. [Holiday 2002, p.54]

Only ultra-devoted Yu Yu fans will think this doesn't suck. [Jan 2005, p.72]

There's just not enough variety or excitement for Colosseum to fight off an eventual feeling of drudgery. [Sept 2005, p.79]

Simply a decent been-there-done-that platformer. [Jan 2003, p.40]

EA Replay is a sloppy, slapdash production, and if you like some of its games, you'd be better off tracking down the originals. [Feb. 2007, p.86]

Most of us should just stick to iron fist tournaments and burning souls. [Holiday 2005, p.90]

Simply put, although the content is taken from the console version (though there's much less of it), the controls kill most of the experience. [Apr 2006, p.88]

It does feel a bit short, and some elements of the story are poorly told. But as simple, fundamental platform gaming, it's pleasant enough, and Harry's target lock is really very good. [Jan 2004, p.37]
