Isuka has the same deep, 2D fighting that's been around for years, but it's also remarkably fresh. [Holiday 2004, p.98]- PSM Magazine

- Critic Score
The best WWE game ever made for the PS2. Why didn't I score it higher? Despite the extra polish and new additions, it isn't that different from what's come before. [Dec 2004, p.70]- PSM Magazine
-
- Critic Score
Every single game is perfectly emulated, and there's a lot of speedy, blue goodness to be had here. [Jan 2005, p.76]- PSM Magazine

- Critic Score
Players over age ten might find Inuyasha too juvenile to enjoy, but younger players will love the charming storyline. [Jan 2005, p.78]- PSM Magazine
-
- Critic Score
Illogical puzzles dominate the game's second half. You may not even understand what you did in order to move on. [Jan 2005, p.70]- PSM Magazine
-
- Critic Score
This sarcastic, comedic Action RPG's gameplay is fundamental, solid, and almost old-fashioned in its uncluttered-ness. [Holiday 2004, p.96]- PSM Magazine
-
- Critic Score
A game that surpasses its genre-defining predecessors in every respect, not just in terms of gameplay, but also in terms of story, characters, and overall fun. It pops many caps in many asses. [Jan 2005, p.58]- PSM Magazine
-
- Critic Score
The selection of 30+ songs is a bit uneven, but the game is still a blast, and even has a few off-kilter, non-musical mini-games. [Holiday 2004, p.98]- PSM Magazine

At least mildly accessible and appealing even for entry-level fans. [Jan 2005, p.72]- PSM Magazine

- Critic Score
I found myself literally sweating bullets during most of the missions. [Holiday 2004, p.80]- PSM Magazine
-
- Critic Score
Awful story aside, Scaler is a well-constructed game, with lush, colorful graphics and ten big levels packed with exotic creatures and scenery. [Jan 2005, p.78]- PSM Magazine
-
- Critic Score
The gadget-filled action gameplay has been deflated into a fairly typical party game. [Holiday 2004, p.92]- PSM Magazine
-
- Critic Score
Couldn't there be just a few more levels? Maybe some power-ups? [Holiday 2004, p.82]- PSM Magazine
-
- Critic Score
Fun unlockables should keep you interested for more than just a rental, and the PS2 doesn't break a sweat - no slowdown here. [Nov 2004, p.92]- PSM Magazine

What ruins TMNT2 is the game's abyssmal control. [Dec 2004, p.79]- PSM Magazine

A nice selection of familiar characters. [Dec 2004, p.88]- PSM Magazine
-
- Critic Score
It's wickedly difficult at times. But, I was still driven to "catch 'em all", so the formula still works. [Dec 2004, p.90]- PSM Magazine
-
- Critic Score
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]- PSM Magazine
-
- Critic Score
For its first hour, the game is good for a chuckle. Trouble is, it quickly becomes repetitive and furstrating. [Nov 2004, p.94]- PSM Magazine

- Critic Score
With depth and style, FIFA continues to deliver the goods. [Nov 2004, p.92]- PSM Magazine
-
- Critic Score
Great-looking platform game with clever puzzles and excellent character designs. [Holiday 2004, p.86]- PSM Magazine
-
- Critic Score
If you loved any of these games, you need this. If you didn't, it's time for a history lesson. [Dec 2004, p.88]- PSM Magazine
-
- Critic Score
The cameras are lousy, the Gunam move too sluggishly, and there's very little depth. [Dec 2004, p.84]- PSM Magazine
-
- Critic Score
It's funny, sexy, and pretty damn entertaining. [Holiday 2004, p.86]- PSM Magazine
-
- Critic Score
The sound-alike performers are okay, but it's a big problem that the interface offers too little guidance and no feedback as to what you're doing wrong - you can't tell if you're ahead or behind. [Holiday 2004, p.92]- PSM Magazine
-
- Critic Score
Not only does it look great, but the weapons feel pretty good, the hordes of enemies are both aggressive and accurate, and the story has some strong moments, as well. [Nov 2004, p.88]- PSM Magazine
-
- Critic Score
Easily the best 3D fighter PS2 has seen since "Soul Calibur 2" and "VF4 Evolution." [Dec 2004, p.76]- PSM Magazine
-
- Critic Score
Solid, and if the same great gameplay with a few tweaks and new levels is enough, you'll love it. Without more innovation, though, it's getting harder to get very excited. [Dec 2004, p.82]- PSM Magazine
