Gamers With Jobs - Review with screen shots and user comments. "Much as I really wanted to say lots of good things about Core Combat I find the negatives outweigh the positives right now."

IGN.com - [6.5/10] Review with screen shots by Tom McNamara. "Fighting in the Core is too disorienting and transportation too roundabout to recommend plunking down $30, especially when actual combat in the Core is so infrequent."

WarCry - Review with screen shots. "Overall, it is a satisfying and delicious addition to the game, with one downside: The new underground areas are ghost towns."

GameSpot - [6.4/10] Review by Andrew Park. "If you're a diehard PlanetSide fan looking to expand your game, you should definitely consider Core Combat." Includes screen shots and system requirements.

Frictionless Insight - [4/5] Review by Kyle Ackerman. "Core Combat adds a lot that improves the original title, and adds substantial content both for owners of the expansions and players of the original." Includes screen shots.

GameZone - [8.5/10] Review by Kevin Giacobbi with screen shots.

Gamezilla - Review by Alex Karls with screen shots. "Not only is this a worthwhile expansion, but with the changes made to Planetside, the whole game is much the better."

The Laser - Review by Michael Palisano. "...[O]ffers players great value for their dollar and the enhancements are far more than skin deep." Includes screen shots. Grade: B

Action Vault - Review by Craig Morrison with screen shots. "The underground action is quite fun when it occurs and does bring a genuine new style of gameplay, but unfortunately, it just doesn't happen often enough with the current rule set, giving the whole affair a rather hollow feel."

Game Vortex - Review by Andrew Horwitz with screen shots and system requirements. Score: 7.5/10

Digital Back Spin - Review by Rick Heaton, with screen shots. "As much as I enjoy PlanetSide, it's hard to be enthusiastic about Core Combat." Score: 67/100

Loadedinc.com - [6/10] Review by Tim Partlett. Includes screen shots, system requirements and user comments.

Elited - Review of the expansion.

The Stratos Group - Review, with screen shots and system requirements. "If you are a Planetside fanatic, this game is for you. However, for the average Joe who only plays a couple times a week, this game doesn't offer enough that's new to justify spending the cash." Score: 3.5 out of 5.

The Adrenaline Vault - Review by Keith Durocher, with screen shots. "Expansions rarely shine quite as strongly as this one: the classic feel of the ancient tech is pure gold; the drastically different locations are a welcome change of pace, and the new items are both fun and devastating to use." Score: 4 out of 5.

Gamenikki - Review by Jason Frothingham, with screen shots. "The game has been dragged down with Core Combat, and the PlanetSide community doesn't seem to want to address these problems." Score: 2 out of 10.

Review Gamer - Review by Ian Fernandes, with screen shots. Score: 6.8 out of 10.

TechTV - Review by Greg Bemis, with screen shots. Score: 1 out of 5. "[This expansion] introduces far more gameplay problems than solutions."

WorthPlaying - Review by Mark Crump, with screen shots. "While I wished the ...expansion was in use by more of the player-base, I'm confident the [development team] will perform the necessary tweaks to draw more players in, because the idea of the subterranean combat is exciting and Core Combat provides a great foundation." Score: 8.8 out of 10.

Jolt - Review by Michael Filby, with screen shots. "You'll go down into the caverns once, but you'll probably not bother going down again." Score: 4.3 out of 10.
