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.

It will not be remembered as one of the greatest in the digital catalogue as it could be much better, but retro gameplay fans will enjoy it.

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.

If you're interested in Moon Diver, play halfway through the game by yourself to gain some levels, collect various magic, and get used to the structure. Then fire up multiplayer and never look back.

Moon Diver is one of those divisive little numbers that you'll either love because of its repetitive, twitchy bombast, or want to drown in its own spittle. It's here. It's queer. Get used to it.

Moon Diver is at its best when playing with others, and all the positives really shine: the great effects and animations, the constant hack 'n slash adrenaline rush, and that addictive "let's-keep-going" element. But even then, things get way too repetitive, there isn't a ton of inspiration in regards to basic enemy design, and the overall repetitiveness of the entire production becomes painfully obvious.

A good game for the niche of gamers it's aimed at, but it's also inconsistent and flawed.

Like Strider before it, Moon Diver is a repetitive button masher that will enthrall you regardless of its shortcomings.

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