What's so great about this game is that it delivers a true sensation of underwater combat without getting all hung up on the details that would normally lead to frustration. [Nov 2002, p.190]

Throw in some fun surface sequences and you've got a really well-rounded, classic shooter. [Dec 2002, p.86]

Its combo of intense, old-school action-shooter gameplay... with entirely original elements (the sonar effect is genius) has me hooked. [Nov 2002, p.298]

If you’re the type of player that enjoys naval themes or even if you just like a lot of guns-blazing, shoot-‘em-up action, the game is destined to be a bona fide sleeper hit. Don’t miss the boat.

May take on a little water in the graphics department, but nonetheless swims along nicely in the action genre.

Moves slower than Jacque Cousteau on the toilet. [Jan 2003, p.96]

Though the graphics and sound are fairly basic (aside from a few lighting touches and stylish cinematics, Sub Rebellion could be a PSone game), the gameplay packs a more detailed punch.

After playing it for a while and as the game begins to get challenging, feelings of accomplishment and tension during battles start to creep in, and the game starts to evoke a decent bit of emotion.

The overall solid game design barely avoids being overshadowed by unexceptional production values.

Although Sub Rebellion isn't the best-looking game on the block, it is still a lot of fun to play. Huge bosses have numerous targets to destroy and the action can get intense.
