Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 4 out of 7
  2. Negative: 1 out of 7
  1. I am a huge fan of Quake and enjoy a game of Diablo every now and then. But neither Quake nor Diablo held my interest for as long as Zax has. The reason: it just plain rocks.
  2. Zax is good fun, though it suffers from too much déjà vu. [Feb 2002, p.65]
  3. The buggiest game I’ve ever played: I stopped counting types and incidents of crashes after 45 train wrecks spanning multiple, top-of-the-line computers at our lab. [Jan 2002, p.110]
