As much of a history lesson as Collection provides, though, you can't help but wan't more. [Feb 2005, p.92]- Xbox Nation Magazine

An eye-catching and compelling shoot-em-up with interesting characters and themes, Yager's hard to pass up at $20. [Oct 2004, p.97]- Xbox Nation Magazine

Shock value only takes the game so far, though. What really keeps you playing to the end is Punisher's scribe Garth Ennis' excellent script. [Feb 2005, p.88]- Xbox Nation Magazine

What ultimately lands Defender in the "utterly forgettable" pile are its bland graphics, twitchy controls, and various technical problems. [Winter 2002, p.104]- Xbox Nation Magazine

The texture quality has been noticeably reduced, but the keen glow effect on all the characters and environments is meticulously preserved. [Jan 2005, p.86]- Xbox Nation Magazine
-

Criminals hide in the same places every time, so players can memorize the trouble spots and restart if necessary. [Dec/Jan 2004, p.89]- Xbox Nation Magazine
-
- Critic Score
It's surprisingly solid, providing definitively that it's possible to take a fictional sport and bring it to digital life. [Mar 2004, p.82]- 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

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

Weird and wonderful, Whiplash pushes rebellion to the point where it seems callously unconcerned that its middle finger sometimes is aimed straight at its audience. [Mar 2004, p.87]- Xbox Nation Magazine

It's physics are absolutely true to life, and its tilts - a propers smiting for too much cheating - are fairly issued. [June 2004, p.88]- Xbox Nation Magazine
-

No matter how easy it is to do, kicking someone off his four-wheeler never stops being satisfying. [Apr/May 2003, p.93]- Xbox Nation Magazine

- Critic Score
It simply can't contend with the 400-pound gorilla that is Electronic Arts' "NBA Street." [Dec/Jan 2004, p.85]- Xbox Nation Magazine

- Critic Score
It's a work-in-progress that makes too many bad choices, and doesn't provide half as much meat as it does flash and spectacle. [Spring 2002, p.90]- 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
-
