  1. Slick graphics cannot cover up a poor port of a classic game.
  2. 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.
  3. 1/10 and only because of the tiny pinprick of nostalgia the title gave me.
  4. 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?
  5. Warlords looks nice in demo form, but is a soul-sucking, horrific experience when you're actually playing it.
  6. Better games can be bought with 400 Microsoft Points so do yourself a favor and defend yourself, and your wallet, from these Warlords.
  7. Its only saving grace is the Evolved mode, but it won’t keep you playing for long.

    Fun with friends, but the chances of finding anyone to play you are slim. [Sept 2008, p.97]
