PlayStation Critic Reviews

A cinematic classic. [Feb 2003, p.97]

It is literally full of those 'classic' moments that are all too rare these days. Whether it's the first time your footprints are discovered, the first time you perform a stealth kill, finding out the identity of the 'Ninja', solving the method of defeating Psycho Mantis, obtaining the camera and seeking out your first 'ghost'... there are so many classic memories.

This game is full of surprises and you never know what is going to happen, and that is a very good thing.

Gripping. You will not be able to make your way through this unrelenting adventure without feeling your stomach flip and churn into knots.

Adding to the story is some of the best voice acting to ever come to a videogame. The entire cast did an absolutely top-notch performance.

The rarest of things: a video game with looks, brains, and heart.

We may be looking at the greatest game of the decade here.

With the sequel out on PS2, you don't want to fall behind, do you? [Mar 2002, p.34]

The amount of quality that's been pumped into this title is simply astonishing.

This will be the game that everyone will be playing, talking about and demanding for Christmas and the rest of 1999.
