Basic graphics and reduced challenge aside, this is more fun than troublesome. [Jan 2004, p.48]

An annoying game of trial and error. [July 2005, p.84]

Seems better suited as a handheld...sort of. [Jan 2007, p.88]

Underneath the goofy, low-brow humor is a wide load of too-sedatedly paced driving and surprisingly thin gameplay. [Oct 2005, p.55]

About as fun as being hit in the face with a chair. [Holiday 2003, p.44]

AND1 Streetball stands alone as the only basketball game out there right now that truly captures the thrill of real street basketball. [Aug 2006, p.86]

Each stage is still full of repetitious androids to fight, and you still fight in nearly identical rooms and hallways. [Oct 2006, p.84]

Though melee fights and arbitrarily thrust on the gamer and Slate's jerky hand-to-hand fighting techniques often connect when they should miss wildly, there's enough here to give this disc a spin. [July 2005, p.82]

Uneven quality and painful loading times temper the monkey storm. [Feb 2006, p.87]

It's not awful; just average, but well suited for families and littler gamers. [Holiday 2003, p.46]

Thankfully, Eragon on the PS2 is an entirely different game than on its portable counterpart--a better game, to be sure, but not enormously so. [Feb. 2007, p.85]

It’s packed full of glitches, bugs, and design flaws that brought us to new depths of aggravation. [Feb 2002, p.38]

Why there's no training mode to practice the thumb-blistering combinations is baffling and only the truly dedicated will be able to pull off some of the harder moves in battle. [Feb 2005, p.83]

The first PS2 "Spy Hunter" is a much better game. [Dec. 2006, p.84]

Sloppy, nonintuitive control and monotonous, room-clearing gameplay make it a chore to play. It's also unnecessarily difficult. [Sept 2002, p.31]

Enemies spawn from nowhere, and missions are more repetitive and dull than "Just Cause," but with no crazy parachute. [Jan 2007]

Repetitive above all else, the majority of the stages play out almost identically: kick butt, run away, kick butt again, run away again, repeat, and so on. [Jan 2003, p.30]

A carpel-tunnel-syndrome-inducing experiment that may just make you more sore and bored than upbeat and happy. [Oct 2002, p.40]

Get past the weak graphics and there's a stylish, original adventure game here, especially for fans of the first "Galerians" - to which this is a much improved sequel indeed. [Mar 2003, p.42]

It's a concept that works, but gets tough fast. [Nov. 2006, p.81]

Be aware that its vehicle-less gameplay resembles "State of Emergency" a lot more than it does "GTA: San Andreas." [June 2005, p.79]

It ain’t all that great to look at…[and] the controls can be rather awkward. [Feb 2002, p.40]

The controls are frustrating, the gameplay is mercilessly repetitious and even the humor gets old after a few hours. [Jan 2007, p.88]

Whiteout's effective controls and straightforward design let it achieve its comparatively modest goals. [Feb 2003, p.30]

A simple, short, yet fun, platforming romp. [Jan 2003, p.42]

An over-reliance on gadgetry and a cumbersome interface make playing the game more of a chore than anything else. [Sept 2003, p.38]
