90Probably one of the top five PS2 launch titles in both graphics and gameplay, X Squad shouldn't be passed up.
-
80Even though it doesn't push the envelope, X Squad is a unique and very entertaining ride.
-
80Two guns up.
-
75This is a tremendous one-player shooter with a level of intensity and suspense that reminds me of when super-graphic gaming was a brand-new thing.
-
A video game that should have been percolated a bit longer.
-
75Progression through the levels is expectedly linear but it also tends to be the same open-door-with-switch-call-lift-fight-end-of-level-boss structure. The formula never alters - no puzzles, no significant alternate routes, no variety.
-
68As good as is it did get, there was never a point in the game where I really felt that I was playing an A-quality title that I would want to own as part of my PlayStation 2 software library.
-
Although X Squad is fraught with many ups and downs, it's still a refreshing foray into tactical territory usually reserved for the PC world.
-
60On the bad side, we have shallow gameplay, unbalanced game elements (even when squad members are killed, they just pop back up later when the storyline needs them), and boring level design.
-
That’s not to say X-Squad is hopelessly flawed – if taken as more of a no-brainer than intended, it provides a serviceable blast, and the well-spaced restart points do dampen the almost random battle outcomes fairly well.
-
53If it weren't for the overly touchy control and the game's overall lack of difficulty and length, X-Squad could have been a contender.
-
50Rent it, beat it, forget it ever existed and start drooling over the upcoming "Winback" remake.
-
Try it out if you must, but don't blame me if you PS2 ends up flying out your bedroom window. Mine almost did.
-
50X Squad was to be the first squad-based game on PS2, but its AI is so bad that it really becomes a basic third-person action title with only some nice effects and a huge weapons cache to show for it.
-
As it stands, it is an average action game that is bettered by a number of original PlayStation titles, which is unacceptable.
-
Too typical and boring. Moving from level to level cutting down waves of baddies isn't really what we need on the PS2.
-
42Actually a decent squad-based action title that's not quite in the column of worth purchasing, but gamers looking for some mindless action with a few annoying problems will find X-Squad to be a weekend rental diversion.
-
40It's merely a re-run of countless action games that have come before it: a futuristic setting with lots of weapons, shooting, and running around... but not much after that.
