The most fun you'll have with this one will come from the first few tries - after which familiarity will rapidly breed contempt.

Slightly shallow, but good, blood-splattered fun for all that, DC 2 is at the very least one of the most graphically accomplished arcade games you'll see on the PlayStation.

But if you want a game that's best in short sharp bursts, good fun and mildly relaxing to boot, you could do a lot worse.

Light years ahead of the competition? Well, no, but the kids may enjoy this one.

The music's jaunty, the sound effects "zappy"; it looks okay, it plays okay, and it's all perfectly diverting for a few hours or so.

Where the game scores low is in the repeated use of cliched fantasy fodder in the shape of the narrative, nomenclature, audio and character portraits.

Frustratingly difficult at first, F355 rewards the patient gamer with an experience that just can't be beaten.

The problem is that the game really needed a huge injection of adrenaline, but it would appear that all that was offered was a cup of tea and a biscuit.

Story, attention to detail, stunning visuals and exceptional character AI makes a standard shooting fare, compelling and enjoyable.

This game is so phat man, it's sick.

It's just Duke being Duke - stupid but fun. For a while.

The overall experience could have been that much more rewarding had more attention been paid to the design.

Overall this game totally rocks. I loved it.

Everything that the original should have been.

It's still a decent blast in it's own right, just that it had potential to really excel and be top of it's class so it's a tad disappointing to see it falling short of that.

At last a decent comic-book conversion that is extremely playable and will even appeal to those who aren't fans of the comic.

Resident Evil fanatics will probably hate it and call it a travesty, but remove the Resident Evil tag and it's a damn good zombie shooter with a revolutionary control system.

What is absolutely stunning is the total absence of formulaic gameplay. Even the best video game is somewhat formulaic after a fashion, but UFC is almost entirely unpredictable.

Dig below the surface however and you'll find the kind of depth that'll take weeks or even months to fully explore. A shameless clone of Sony's "Gran Turismo," and a a pretty good one too.

This is a surprisingly realistic simulation, and yet its overriding concern is to entertain. Which it does. In spades.

Removes some of the frustrations of the original game with the 5 extra careers paths, 120 new objects, 50 controllable families and addition of the genie and chemistry set.

It's not just doing the same rack & attack routine that it could have been, the programmers have added well thought-out missions that are good fun.

If this game was part of a bundle then I might play it again, but only when I was very drunk and had forgotten how poor it was.

I very much intend to retire from the human race and hibernate with this game.

Probably the most fun you can have with two people without having to clear up afterwards.

The audio is wonderful and matches the graphics, though the storyline is fairly pointless, and there's a certain childlike quality to it that could annoy but was fine with me.

A great disappointment for PlayStation fans everywhere.

A great game, and one that will keep you entertained for hours, the plot will keep you amused and the various weapons in the game will make for a great action adventure.
