  1. IGN

    AFO really shines when you get eight players in the heat of battle, and when the game releases, players will know how war is truly hell& a crazy, trash-talking, teeth-grinding, fun type of hell.
  2. GameSpot
    76
    Offers up a solid dose of good old-fashioned gameplay wrapped up in slick graphics and an innovative use of technology.
  3. GamePro

    Brainless action-shooting doesn’t get more engaging than AFO. But without depth, the destruction eventually gets repetitious and tiring to the eyes.
  4. Gaming Age

    The real-time chat feature practically makes the game. There’s room for much more depth, but AFO is a great pick-up and play shooter, or 7-day rental.
  5. Game Revolution
    67
    If you've got the online connection, there's fun to be had with AFO. Sure, the online server could have been better geared for game matching and keyboard support on top of the voice chat wouldn't have hurt, but the simple action and smooth gameplay make for a decent game.
  6. GameShark
    80
    A game that won't make the Classics list any time soon, but if you're looking for easy-to-play yet hard-to-beat game play, you'll be all over it.
  7. Electronic Gaming Monthly

    There’s just not much here to keep me coming back. [Oct 2001, p.150]

  8. Electric Playground
    86
    It rocks, despite some small flaws. Good replay value can make a game go a long way.
  9. Hot Games
    80
    As a multiplayer game it treads over most of the competition. The solo mode borders on evil thanks to its difficulty level.
  10. Core Magazine
    91
    Sega has basically taken their arcade property, which by itself was very limited in depth, and has notably enhanced it for the home market.
  11. Planet Dreamcast
    75
    Fun, simple, and another good reason for dial-up Internet users to get online with the Dreamcast, but AFO isn't going to win any awards for depth or longevity.

    Good, loads of action. If you like carnage from the safety of your arm-chair then this was made for you.
