    • 40 Critic Score
    The storyline is half-baked, the graphics and sound are substandard, the music is intolerable, and weak enemy AI makes for boring gameplay.

    Only the most desperate sled-junky should bother with Arctic Thunder. Clearly inferior to its ancestor, this jerky ride suffers from terrible frame rates, sub-par sound, twitchy controls and mindless, repetitive gameplay.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    The weak interface, annoying gameplay, and lack of variety and balance between the races make the game a failed experiment.
    • 31 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Possessing a sketchy storyline, abysmal artificial intelligence and repetitive gameplay, nothing about it engrosses you in the action and keeps you coming back for more.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Drawing inspiration from obvious predecessors such as "Submarine Titans" and "Star Trek: Armada," The Outforce unfortunately does precious little to expand or even successfully imitate either of these two.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    The graphics are devoid of polish and personality, and the sound will make you fall in love with your mute button all over again.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    I found this offering to be an uninspiring experience, wrought with annoyances that many modern fighters do not suffer from.
    • 40 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    With clearly low production values, this game is ultimately quite boring. Dreary drudgery is what you have to slog through to get to the end, and believe me it is just not worth it.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    What with so little variety in weapons, foes, or physical settings, the game loses what little charm it has in a mere matter of minutes.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Borrows some ideas from the original game, mixes in lackluster graphics and sound, and tops it with awkward design choices.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Since the entire title is built around the concept of gradual character development through combat, the lack of a save option instantly nullifies any and all value that the innovation might have brought.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    It is neither a compelling first-person shooter, nor a worthy role-playing experience, failing on both fronts.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    It’s crippled by horrendous A.I., murky movement speeds, agonizing loading times, dated graphics, quirky controls and poor network code.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Every single aspect of the game falls short of the industry average. What was supposed to be an adrenaline-fueled trip through the heady yesteryears of prohibition and mob rule is instead a tedious grind through repetitive and uninspired drudgery.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Its interface is horrendously convoluted, its gameplay painfully tedious and sluggish, and its graphics are outdated.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Just about everything they tried has been tried before and executed much better in "Shogun: Total War."
    • 79 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    While it’s unlikely that the inferior graphics and sound would turn away any serious strategy RPG fans, boring gameplay mechanics and glitchy implementation should do the job.
    • 32 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    While there are some isolated elements of Bruce Lee: Quest of the Dragon that work, such as the extensive collection of moves and authentic sound effects, they are very tiny islands in a swirling maelstrom of poor gameplay and distressing visuals.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    It never should have been released on the PC, in part because it exploits none of the features possible on computers, such as saving at will, better graphics and configurable controls.
    • 25 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    The vexing controls and camera system, combined with the poor enemy AI and simplified combat, make even a weekend rental of Dark Tomorrow tough to justify.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    In modern times, however, when even simple retro-games like "Frogger" get massive face lifts and hordes of options, there is little room for a game that prides itself on pure simplicity and repetitive action.
