    It's a real shame that with such a powerful machine Project 8 fails to live up to its potential and ends up as a good game rather than the amazing title many of us had been waiting for. [Mar 2007, p.64]

    If there was a complaint to be levelled at the game, apart from its somewhat repetitive gameplay, it would be the lack of checkpoints - and with such huge odds against you, it does become irritating to have to restart a level from teh beginning each time you die. [May 2007, p.78]

    A port of the previous title from PS2 doesn't really have the next-gen punch you are looking for. [Apr 2007, p.58]

    Every move seems to take a split second from your button press to its actual execution, which means chaining combos becomes a very taxing endeavour. [Apr 2007, p.52]
