What They Say:
Check out these quotes from reviews & previews
"As a $20 game, though -- even considering the wide selection of budget and Greatest Hits titles available on the PS2 now -- The Red Star is a great deal, considering it was at one point set to release for more than double that. For old-school action game fans, this one's a must for your collection."
"Despite spending years on the shelf, The Red Star ably delivers a unique and challenging blend of beat-'em-up and top-down shooter action."
"Don't argue, comrade. This one's worth your capitalist American dollars."
"A refreshing take on a classic genre."
"Sure the main characters are the same as in the comic, but there is little else in place to remind gamers that they are indeed playing a game based on The Red Star license. Nevertheless, the distinctive blend of beat-em-up melee combat and pattern-based shooting action won me over in the end. If you are a fan of classic games in either of these genres, there is a lot to like about The Red Star. Ultimately though, the barebones presentation and the aggravating lack of checkpoints keeps this game from living up to the high standard set by the source material."
