  1. Better games can be bought with 400 Microsoft Points so do yourself a favor and defend yourself, and your wallet, from these Warlords.
  2. They are really scraping the bottom of the barrel now. Is it possible for a game to immediately qualify for Microsoft’s new “delisting” policy?
  3. Warlords looks nice in demo form, but is a soul-sucking, horrific experience when you're actually playing it.
  4. Slick graphics cannot cover up a poor port of a classic game.
  5. What doesn't work this time out is Throttle Monkey mode, Atari's way of separating the casual from hardcore gamer. In other titles speeded-up gameplay can be an endurance test; here, it's just unplayable.

    Fun with friends, but the chances of finding anyone to play you are slim. [Sept 2008, p.97]
  7. Its only saving grace is the Evolved mode, but it won’t keep you playing for long.
  8. 1/10 and only because of the tiny pinprick of nostalgia the title gave me.
