Jaz: If you like your games to be more than a pretty face, give this a miss.

Matt: Fast and furious and great fun, but lacks a variety of gameplay to make it a total winner.

Jaz: I feel the same way about this now as I did then. It's fun, but hasn't really got enough in it to make it worthwhile for anyone other than die-hard Space Harrier fans - even at its new £20 price point.

Rich: Space Harrier never really appealed to me because it all appeared rather shallow to me. I think I'd knock 10% off each mark for this game. The gameplay is just too repetitive by today's standards.
