    A case of Jekyll and Hyde. Single player isn't bad, but the multiplayer is head and shoulders cooler than than the PC version, thanks largely to the clever use of the Xbox Communicator. [June 2003, p.76]

    It does lose points for omitting variety within its multiplayer setup.

    Sadly, the graphics don’t even come close to the sharp visuals of the PC version--something the Xbox could have easily replicated.

    Combine a quickly aging game with a sloppy porting process and you have a lackluster game that can only claim high amounts of gore as a selling feature, although even that comes off flat.

    The online play is fun and fast. The singleplayer is a joke. But the online is worth a purchase if ya have Xbox live.
