A fun game for a while, offering players cool music a weird story, and intense gameplay. [Feb 2002, p.44]- PSM Magazine

There's still fun to be had, but we're hoping for more innovation and greater variety of gameplay. [Apr 2002]- PSM Magazine

When you strip away the high-tech hijinx, what's left will leave most players saying, "That's it?" all too quickly. [May 2002, p.30]- PSM Magazine

Fortunately, 3DO listened to complaints from last year's game and greatly improved the presentation with much graphics and animation, and amazingly accurate commentary. [Mar 2002, p.26]- PSM Magazine

It’s not only a sterling initial effort, but also one of the best overall examples of the genre we’ve ever played. [Feb 2002, p.32]- PSM Magazine

Although AirBlande's refreshing look and feel scores it kudos, it doesn't even come close to matching the quality of the THPS series. [Mar 2002, p.27]- PSM Magazine

Another title that virtually defines the word "mediocre." [Mar 2002, p.30]- PSM Magazine

The biggest feather in the game's cap lies in it's amazing battle system. [Feb 2002, p.42]- PSM Magazine
-
- Critic Score
Its lack of any really well-designed puzzles makes playing the game a bit more repetitive [than "Soul Reaver 2"] and too combat-based. [Feb 2002, p.42]- PSM Magazine

Most players will also find the game to be far too easy. It can be played through under an hour. [Feb 2002, p.40]- PSM Magazine

On the one hand, you have these lightning-fast bikes to ride; on the other, you spend most of the time making them slow down. [Mar 2002, p.30]- PSM Magazine

Just doesn't quite provide enough bang for your buck. [Iss #54, Jan 2002]- PSM Magazine

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

It’s the PS2 basketball game that will best satisfy both hardcore and casual fans. [Feb 2002, p.41]- PSM Magazine

You can't even play through this or any season as your favorite college team, which makes us wonder why on earth they called it March Madness 2002. [Mar 2002, p.30]- PSM Magazine

Suffers from two major problems: its gameplay can get tedious, and the story progresses very slowly. [Feb 2002, p.44]- PSM Magazine

- Critic Score
It’s an interesting system that places emphasis on strategy rather than brute force, but, in the end, it still feels a little limited. [Feb 2002, p.38]- PSM Magazine
-
- Critic Score
While the graphics are generally well done, the framerate gets sketchy when there’s a lot going on. [Feb 2002, p.46]- PSM Magazine

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

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

From the course design to the interface to the tricks, everything about Wave Rally is very ordinary. [Feb 2002, p.40]- PSM Magazine

Despite its clever design and often charming presentation, however, the game unfortunately winds up being too quirky for its own good in many cases. [Feb 2000]- PSM Magazine

With a tale as classic and expertly told as Lunar's, and packed in with enough goodies to make even the most stingy fanboy weak in the knees, Lunar: SSSC comes highly recommended for fans and newbies alike. [July 1999]- PSM Magazine
