  1. A drop-dead gorgous game. If eye candy had calories, this game would make you fat...And then I beat it in four hours. Cue the crickets. [May 2004, p.44]

    Malice is, from top to bottom, about as standard and, unfortunately, boring a platformer as you can find. None of it is bad, but sadly, nothing about Malice is fun, interesting, exciting, new, or worth your thirty bucks.
  3. The very basic gameplay is further dumbed-down by the imbecilic computer AI to make for a game that even novices can breeze through in one night (and we don’t mean a long one either).

    This game has been long waited for by many people including myself. i cant wait til june 1st i will be in my nearest retailer to pick up my preordered copy. It is going to be the best. i give it a 10 out of 10 . i know that sounds stupid before it has been released but i love these types of games and malice is not going to be dissapointing. Grabbed by the ghoulies was even good . it was slow and stupid at first but you just have to give it a chance.I mean who can go wrong with RAREWARE... Anyway MALICE is going to ROCK!!!!!!!! Expand

    Oh dear Aaron, this is disappointing. Uninspired level design, and outdated gameplay. A shame.
