Critic Reviews

84 Sega X
Many of you may be better off getting out your old bathtub toys and just have silky-smooth fun playing in the girly bubbles.
82 IGN
Simple and complex at the same time, the relaxing atmosphere and intelligent mission structure had me yearning for retries at failed scenarios hours after bed time.
81 GameSpot
Deep Fighter's mysterious story, level bosses, and diverse missions make it a game all its own.
81 Dreamcast.net
This title is fun. Not wet your pants fun.
80 Dreamcast HQ
There's just something about it.
80 GamerWeb Sega
The very definition of a sleeper hit, Deep Fighter might not be on your "must buy" list but it certainly deserves a look-see.
78 Da Gameboyz
Although this is a fairly standard first person shooter style game, it uses plot and puzzle solving to offer up several different challenges to make the game interesting and worth a look.
75 Core Magazine
While it lacks multiplayer and there isn't a whole lot to do once the game has been completed, Deep Fighter's 36 missions will keep the gamer interested for long enough to justify its cost.
70 CNET Gamecenter
The undersea environment it uses is appealing and fun to explore, especially since the open maps of the game facilitate fairly nonlinear exploration.
70 Total Video Games
It does become too tedious too soon which is a real shame.
70 Happy Puppy
Deep Fighter ranks only behind the superb "Resident Evil: Code Veronica" in bringing mood to the table.
60 DC Swirl
If you're too upset to talk with your "Seaman", and the difficulty in "Ecco" has gotten the most of you (FAQ's are a stuck gamer's best friend), Ubi Soft's "Deep Fighter" is a more than worthy alternative.
60 Hot Games
Uneven pacing, clunky interface and mismatched visuals undermine the game's potential.
50 Daily Radar
Gamers will probably derive more fun simply from reading this paragraph than they will from actually playing Deep Fighter.
50 Planet Dreamcast
A game that will torture you with terribile acting, when it isn't putting you to sleep.
50 Games Radar UK (Pre-2006)
Cut away all the unnecessary flab and there's a decent game in here somewhere, but in terms of gameplay, Deep Fighter is more than 20,000 leagues below par than 20,000 Leagues Below the Sea.
50 Game Revolution
You would probably get a greater sense of being underwater by watching "The Little Mermaid."
