"Barbarian is a nice surprise from Titus. Saffire wasn't exactly a developer I had high expectations from so perhaps that helped. This is a fun party game that offers plenty of single player action as well. One of the summer's delights." Review by Brian Shroom Gray with screen shots and overall score [8/10].

"Overall, Barbarian is a game plagued by redundancy. The single-player quest fails to offer any inspiration to continue, and while the multiplayer is fun, it's not enough to justify the purchase and save Barbarian from mediocrity." Review by Peter Suciu with score [61] and screen shots.

"Barbarian supports four players, it has well engineered graphics, and it even has some role-playing influence to augment solo adventurers. This should all lead to a commendable, if not earth shattering game. Yet Barbarian is painfully average, through and through." Review by Matthew Dujnic with screen shots.

The Adrenaline Vault PlayStation 2 Review Barbarian  Say what you will about the pros and cons of each of the big three; there's no denying that the PS2 dominates in just sheer quantity of releases. In a saturated market, you need some strategy to stand out, especially...
