It stacks up well against the graphics of something like "Syphon Filter," which is what it ought to be compared to. [August 2002, p.20]- PSM Magazine

It's as addictive and funny as any other Sims game - that's plenty good. [Holiday 2004, p.80]- PSM Magazine

It's not too challenging, but is highly rewarding. [Nov 2007, p.77]- PSM Magazine

It's ridiculously satisfying taking out a bunch of missile-slinging enemy troops with your perfectly geared up wanzer unit - no question. [Sept 2004, p.18]- PSM Magazine

The PSP needs more original games and less quick 'n' dirty ports. Taito's latest, Exit, fits squarely into the former category, showing just how much potential the PSP has for original, graphically impressive puzzlers. [Apr 2006, p.89]- PSM Magazine

Best recommended for those completely new to the series or feverishly devoted to it. [Holiday 2003, p.48]- PSM Magazine

It's definitely old-school, but it's just as fun and charming as it was 20 years ago - only with modern tweaks that make it even better. [Aug 2007, p.83]- PSM Magazine

With the camera pulled back so far, the ball can get pretty tiny. Other than that, it's all solid, and a big improvement on last season. [Nov 2005, p.98]- PSM Magazine

While not as intuitive as "Hot Shots 3," there is more depth and variety of gameplay here. [Holiday 2002, p.44]- PSM Magazine

The upgraded graphical presentation and more RPG-like aspect of upgrading characters and abilities really puts it over the top. [August 2002, p.22]- PSM Magazine

One of the greatest features of this game, by far, the headset lets you tell your computer-controlled teammates exactly what to do...makes SOCOM such an innovative title. [Oct 2002, p.28]- PSM Magazine
-
- Critic Score
With a story partially written by Punisher veterans Garth Ennis and Jimmy Palmiotti, and featuring "Max Payne"-style gameplay, "The Punisher" perfectly captures the essence of comic books. [Feb 2005, p.74]- PSM Magazine

- Critic Score
It all adds up to a strong, promising rookie effort, but it sucks that the $20 cheaper current-gen version still has the overall edge on the depth chart. [Jan. 2007, p.79]- PSM Magazine
-
- Critic Score
Charming and well executed, Throne has managed to usurp Untold Legends as the PSP's action-RPG king. [Feb. 2007, p.80]- PSM Magazine

For scratching that online teamplay itch though, not much else around satisfies quite like this. [Dec 2004, p.82]- PSM Magazine

It's still not perfect, but at least the developers have taken steps in the right direction. [Dec. 2006, p.80]- PSM Magazine

The PS2 version has a great Auto GPS system in the form of a HUD map that works with voice prompts and really comes in handy when trying to find races. [June 2007, p.80]- PSM Magazine

It's a snack, not a meal, but it's definitely a tasty one. [Feb 2005, p.78]- PSM Magazine
-
- Critic Score
Overall, it's an amazing, oddball game that emphasizes story as heavily as combat. [Dec 2007, p.84]- PSM Magazine

This year, NBA Live falls just short of continuing its dynasty as the best basketball game around. [Nov 2006, p.73]- PSM Magazine

An RPG-making beast that requires serious time and dedication. [Holiday 2003, p.40]- PSM Magazine

Gurumin might seem too easy for a lot of gamers, especially at the start, but don't be deceived: there are several harder difficulty modes to unlock. [Apr 2007, p.85]- PSM Magazine

- Critic Score
Just a hair shy of greatness. It's got some rough edges, but the idea of having to rely on a boat for propulsion is truly innovative. [July 2003, p.24]- PSM Magazine

Three Kingdoms fans will go nuts over all of the improvements. [Oct 2003, p.40]- PSM Magazine

Even though Combined Assault, which looks to be the last SOCOM game on the PS2, is showing signs of the console's aging hardware in the graphics and AI department, it's a hell of a game to go out with. [Feb. 2007, p.81]- PSM Magazine

Call of Duty: Roads to Victory, however, proves that not only can the Big One be done respectably on the small screen, it can at times be downright engaging. [May 2007, p.78]- PSM Magazine
