CellFactor is an incredible game. With easy to learn (and use controls), cool psi powers and action that is faced-paced and addictive, it is an excellent addition to the PSN and XBLA.

While we have a few games of similar note and even the latest Unreal Tournament to play we have not seen any real competition or value priced game until now. If you like multiplayer deathmatch gaming than look no further and buy this game.

IGN

A surprisingly enjoyable shooter. It doesn't do anything new for a retail game, but there are few great online shooters on XBLA. And for that reason alone, it may be worth $10.

Multiplayer.it

Cellfactor is like a sum of FPS’ history, or, if you like, a big container including typical weapons, powers and bonus items, taken from this genre’s last decade of games. It may very well appeal to FPS’ fanatics, who are willing to look over Cellfactor’s, many, drawbacks.

MS Xbox World

CellFactor: Psychokinetic Wars is a uniquely fun multiplayer shooter than will satisfy old school fans and give them, and competition hungry new schoolers, a solid alternative to the bigger games on the market that require a larger online time investment or statistical paranoia.

In the end the single player, while enjoyable, will get repetitive and the online community is almost non-existent at this time.

The world of video games seems to have moved beyond games like this a while ago, making this futuristic shooter seem somehow unforgivably antique.

While CellFactor is more fun with real humans, it never feels like it'll lure you away from other shooters. [Apr 2009, p.75]

GameSpot

You get what you pay for with this budget first-person shooter.

Video Game Talk

The gameplay is also almost too fast for its own good and a lack of customization, and originality, truly cripple the experience. Then there's the fact that there just aren't that many people playing the game.

Fred B. gave it an8:
I love this game! This is kind of like Unreal Tournament, except you can jump really high, run, and use psychokenetic powers- i.e. throwing objects or shooting balls of energy. My son and I play this against bots split screen and can't get enough of it. Unfortunately you can't do the same on line, where only one player can enter. The graphics run off the Unreal Engine and are really great for a downloaded game. The maps are varied and well thought out; some very open, others more claustrophobic like the ones found in other Unreal games. My favorite character is the one without powers-just guns- With him, you can use both triggers to wield two guns and quickly "pop some caps" into your enemies! To round out the package there is a one player challenge mode with ten challenges for each of the three characters, 30 challenges total. This is definitely worth checking out if you can spare 800 micro points.
