    After playing this game you’ll understand exactly why, short of a crate of opium-laced Snickers bars, nothing is more satisfying than leveling city blocks by the dozen with a 50-ton robot.

    I cannot stress to how awesome this game is... It is just breath taking, and a great game to demonstrate the power of Microsoft's console, and their new online service.

    It's graphically superior, and you'll feel like you've lost a few pounds after some of the more rigorous battles.

    It won't blow your mind, but it's a solid showcase for online console gaming. [Winter 2002, p.93]

    It's cool but is really simple, could be more advanced. Fun to blow up stuff and not all will like.

    This game has a poor story line to it. however, the action makes up for it.

    Some games lend themselves to repetetive gameplay but this game has no excuse. Easily could have been more engaging, but was willingly made lazy.
