Probably one of the top five PS2 launch titles in both graphics and gameplay, X Squad shouldn't be passed up.
Progression 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.
As 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.
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.
Try it out if you must, but don't blame me if you PS2 ends up flying out your bedroom window. Mine almost did.
Rent it, beat it, forget it ever existed and start drooling over the upcoming "Winback" remake.
It'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.
