CY Girls Critic Reviews

One of the best-looking games on the Playstation 2, Cy Girls' character models are absolutely gorgeous, as are the game's levels.

Cy Girls has more than a few new tricks up its sleeve, adopting a "Matrix"-style "Some rules can be bent; others can be broken" philosophy.

The excitement sometimes flags, but with combatants this bootylicious, who cares?

Slick targeting systems let you lock onto enemies and blast away from every angle: Hug walls, perform evasive maneuvers and slide across the floor all while emptying your guns on your foes.

The epitome of a solid game: smooth engine, well-balanced gameplay, slick interface...My only real problem with the game is the amount of backtracking involved.

This pair of butt-bashing bints may be big in Japan, but we don't see the game taking off here. Some nice touches, but we've seen it all already.

Note to Japanese game designers – when you kill somebody they had better stay dead unless you give me a real good reason why they keep coming back. Clones, holograms, “beaming” in from remote barracks, anything!

Playing through Cy Girls is straight-up torturous at times. It's as if the level designers threw dice to figure out the flow of certain stages.

A sloppily produced tedious affair with little going for it other than the fact that it had the potential to be good.

Even backed by "Metal Gear Solid 2" technology, Cy Girls' long stretch of frustrating puzzles will leave players feeling more blonde than Bond.

If Cy Girls had stronger gameplay to support the story, or a more compelling story to support the "backtrack and wander aimlessly" puzzle solving, Konami may have had a sleeper hit.

The big problems are the cut and paste nature of the gameplay, the endless backtracking and the long, tedious puzzles.

No matter who you play as, the near constant, incredibly frustrating puzzles paralyze the otherwise decent gameplay.

Whatever minimal amount of sleekness the game has to offer is completely overshadowed by unimpressive graphics and sound, sloppy combat mechanics, and an almost nonstop assailment of long, boring, and mind-numbingly frustrating puzzles.

Tedious puzzles, monotonous action and some of the worst English voice-overs ever committed to DVD-ROM sink into oblivion what little chance Cy Girls had to impress an American audience not exposed to the original TV show that inspired its creation.

It's sort of like "Charlie's Angels" meets "The Matrix" - with all the derivative plot lines that implies.

The puzzle aspects of Cy Girls is about as fun as watching the cheese-creation process.

Cy Girls is in desperate need of a makeover; even an entire facelift. The gameplay is short on original ideas and even the generic elements that it does use are shallow and repetitious - like a lot of good looking girls I know.

Sluggish, unresponsive, and slow. Luckily, all you got to do to win is constantly hammer on the “shoot” button.

The game is large and the dedicated gamer will be kept busy for quite a while but I personally cannot imagine why on earth anyone would chose to subject themselves to such an undertaking. With so many superior games on the market there is no obviously legitimate reason to recommend Cy Girls.
