It's baseball done for the mindless MTV generation, and it smells like a turd polished to a high gloss. [Aug 2003, p.88]- Xbox Nation Magazine

Playing 2005 with its jerky, disorienting fielder cam is akin to slicing up your head on a cheese grater, then taking a vinegar bath.- Xbox Nation Magazine

With little here to massage the mind or engage the heart, Red Faction II becomes nothing more than a linear on-rails twitch-fest. [June-July 2003, p.92]- Xbox Nation Magazine

Give Acclaim credit: One year after releasing the crappy "All-Star Baseball 2003," the company has come back strong with an even crappier All-Star Baseball 2004. [Apr/May 2003, p.90]- Xbox Nation Magazine

Uneven graphics, hollow gameplay contrivances, and a wholesale lack of compelling drama mar the enormous effort which was clearly put into the game. [Fall 2002, p.104]- Xbox Nation Magazine

A horrid single-player quest mode offers frustrating, ill-designed scenarios. [Mar 2004, p.91]- Xbox Nation Magazine

The problem is, driving crappy cars around dirt tracks as low speeds isn't very much fun at all. [Nov 2004, p.97]- Xbox Nation Magazine

In what appears to be a rush job, the game is riddled with inexcusable bugs such as persistent crashing and invisible walls that prohibit movement. [Oct/Nov 2003, p.91]- Xbox Nation Magazine
-
- Critic Score
This is so far from fun it might be made of an entirely new substance: antifun. [Apr/May 2003, p.92]- Xbox Nation Magazine

The game reheats the same scenario again and again, with Rayne forced to toss shmoe after shmoe into a killing device until any hint of fun is sucked bone dry. [Dec 2004, p.96]- Xbox Nation Magazine

An oppressive auto-aim system, weak enemy AI, and simplistic puzzles keep gameplay straightforward and repetitive. [Summer 2002, p.93]- Xbox Nation Magazine

It's a curse-at-the-controller-how-can-this-be-so-effin'-hard? Game. [Spring 2002, p.92]- Xbox Nation Magazine

Gross-out style low brow comedy is all it can bank on when you take all of this game's design flaws into consideration. [Winter 2002, p.107]- Xbox Nation Magazine

Sadly, Powerdrome is one time trial after another, and even with a real opponent via Xbox Live, there's not much more to it. [Sept 2004, p.89]- Xbox Nation Magazine

- Critic Score
Unfortunately, the game is virtually unplayable. [Summer 2002, p.92]- Xbox Nation Magazine

The real trouble with Ty, however, lies in its camera. Ty dashes at a frenetic pace while the camera does a poor job of keeping up. [Winter 2002, p.103]- Xbox Nation Magazine

- Critic Score
The title makes no bones about the unfinished state of the wrasslin' found within. [Dec/Jan 2004, p.95]- Xbox Nation Magazine

There's no sense of achievement in clearing one of the game's "elite" missions without the faintest effort. [Dec 2004, p.90]- Xbox Nation Magazine
-
- Critic Score
Well-designed platforming bits and clever puzzles remind you of what people saw in the original "Tomb Raider," but the game's dismal controls muck up these potentially enjoyable levels. [Oct 2004, p.98]- Xbox Nation Magazine

- Critic Score
Goals are alternately too easy because the bike's brute speed makes gaps and jumps so simple, or too hard because twitchy steering and excess velocity make delicate maneuvering impossible. [Aug 2003, p.87]- Xbox Nation Magazine
-
- Critic Score
That bane of the 3D platformer, a bad camera, constantly hides fallen-away floors until you're standing where you thought there was solid ground. [Nov 2004, p.90]- Xbox Nation Magazine
