While your characters are nimble – able to double jump, slide on the spot, cling on to walls, ceilings and sporadically placed platforms – the melee combat is pretty tiresome as enemies overwhelm often by number rather than by skill. Cross your fingers you have a ranged attack in your repertoire else you're screwed. [July 2011 p84]

The only way to experience the whole game with relative ease is by dipping your toes in the online pool. Unfortunately, most of the title is plagued by repetition, lifeless design, and enough Japanese obscurity to deter most enthusiasts, meaning Moon Diver's appeal is broken quicker than Ryan Giggs' super injunction.

Moon Diver is a classic platform game, very difficult to play but also very fun. It is an action game with some RPG elements and with an excellent multiplayer mode for four players. Recommended for those who love this genre of old school platform.

An awesome action game in the vein of Strider. If this game was released today in the 8-Bit Style games media and hipsters would be gushing over it. Unfortuatly i was ignored on release being called dated even though it had modern graphics,..

I personally think this game is really good but this is coming from someone who loves sidescroller action games and rpgs. If you don't mind the difficulty of the single player then you should be alright with the game. You can customize your favorite character by finding Moonsault Combos (or MCs) and by upgrading your stats as you level up. There are a few problems and that is that the multiplayer may be confusing for a majority of players and some levels will force you to grind levels. Overall in my opinion it's worth it if you enjoy these types of games

Moon Diver feels like the kind of game that was released near the end of the Dreamcast's life cycle. It's aimed directly at people who grew up playing this kind of game, with very few token nods to the fact that time has passed between now and 1999. You can usefully compare it to most if not all of the good 2D games of the last ten years.

Cooperative platforming action with a nice nostalgic touch and some new features.

The multiplayer part of Moon Diver justifies its existence. Alone, however, the gameplay is getting repetitive pretty quickly despite its RPG elements. You're in for a mix between Mega Man and Hard Corps: Uprising.

A game so retro it feels like the illegitimate offspring of early Castlevania and Final Fantasy titles. [June 2011, p.109]

Move. Kill. Move. Kill. Repeat for hours upon hours until you pass out.

A massive disappointment. It has all of the elements of a true classic, but ultimately falls short due to poor execution.
