"Its somewhat remarkable then that Project Eden not only offers an update to the genre, but also takes it to the next level with tons of challenging environmental puzzles, amazing graphics, and not one, but four lead characters."

"A disappointment...A neat idea having a city where the socio-economics are broken down so structurally. With nasty goings on occurring in the recesses of the city, I honestly wanted to love this game." Reviewed by Mike David.

"A few minor annoyances, like poor enemy AI and some puzzles that seem almost too difficult keep it from a higher score, but if you're looking for a game you can invest some time in and not feel like you came away with nothing, welcome to Eden."

"Lacks the full-on rampage of other action titles. "Halo" this is not. Combat is almost a throw-away sub-feature, and it shouldn't be." Review by David Hodgson.

"An uneven experience -- above average when it comes to puzzles and level design, and below average when it comes to combat and artificial intelligence." Review by Bob Mandel.

"Whilst the graphics aren't exactly the most impressive seen on the PlayStation 2; the gameplay makes up for the lack in looks."

"I got hooked on the neat puzzle-solving, just as if I was playing one of my favorite classic adventures, and that alone can be a rewarding enough gaming experience."

"As a shooter it is lacking, as an adventure it has intrigue and numerous challenges." Reviewed by Michael Lafferty.

"More time has been spent on making sure Project Eden included as many smart, engaging puzzles as possible, rather than incorporating half a billion polygons and the latest in vector shading techniques." Review by Patrick Klepek.

"As far as style of gameplay, think "ICO," but without the atmospherics. It's similarly puzzle-intensive, and takes the cooperative aspects of ICO's design to an entirely new level." Review by David Smith.
