  1. For an espionage title, the movement and sniping control is surprisingly sluggish. [Feb 2003, p.154]
  2. A dull, uninspriring pile of nonsense. Poor graphics, awful sound and a severe lack of gameplay make this a game that is best left on the shelves.

    By far, The Sum of All Fears for the GameCube is the most disappointing, if not one of the worst, first-person shooters on any system.

    I rented this game to see how good it was and I've played it for a while and I've gotten the hang of how to play the game and rescue hostages. It is fun for me because you get to go on dangerous missions and kill your people and the terrorists so it is a very interesting game. I would recommend this game to people ages 10-20 because of violence and guns. I will maybe end up buying this game if it is easy to beat. If I don't, then I would just rent it again so that I would be able to beat the game. I got involved with this catagory when I heard about Operation Iraqi Freedom and wanted to see what the soldiers over seas would probably see over there. This game is kind of like James Bond. When I first played James Bond GoldenEye, I was very scared because I was afraid of the terrorists but now that I am more mature, I can handle that type of game. Expand

    Horrible. A rushed, imcomplete, sluggish, and bad overall. Also, Nick G. please tell me your name isn't Nick Garcia...[Ed: It's not.]
