Yes it’s shorter than an Ewok and easier than the dancer with the six tits in Jabba’s Palace, but it’s a jam-packed Death Star of replayable fun - and whether you’re six or sixty, isn’t that everything you could ever dare hope for in a game?

Though repetitive at times, with poorly executed AI and multiplayer modes, the absorbing and immersive single player campaign that the game offers brings it 'up there' with the likes of Rogue Leader and Battlefront. LucasArts have done better than this - but then again, they've also done worse.

While the lack of true visual quality can be overlooked, the slightly confusing, and at times overwhelming interface that you're presented with can add to the nerve wracking nature of the game.

The banality of the stealth sections and the laboured story telling are not worth the fun of the combat. The idea to blend together the two distinct, yet very successful in their own right, styles was interesting - but here the sum of the parts is much less than the total, and that’s your irony.

While the gameplay may essentially be the same as the online flash version, which you’ll have no doubt tinkered with, the grip that Zoo Keeper has makes shelling out the money’s required more than worth it.

On the whole, it’s an addictive, highly entertaining, egg-chucking cloud-drawing high-scoring romp with plenty of replay value that positively reeks of the Nintendo Difference and is guaranteed to while away many a dull train journey.

The reliance of slow, methodical tactical play rather than letting things become a case of who can click their mouse button the fastest is implemented at an incredibly solid level, with very little to complain about.

Brings a fresh twist on a tired genre: providing the player with a real sense of choice – and coupled with an innovative USP, enchanting charactisation, a rich narrative and gameplay that really feels like what the game.

There's nothing cripplingly wrong with It's Mr Pants - far from it. But it's basically a simple case of the sum of its parts not reaching its true potential.

The gameplay is a chore, the story is unoriginal and the characters are as annoying as tooth ache. And the ‘it’s for kids’ angle is insulting to anyone who considers themselves a kid, including the over 16 kids.

It seems that Moto GP 4 really does have something for everyone – assuming everyone has an interest in racing, of course.

It’s the sort of game you’d find yourself playing while on hold during a telephone call, or waiting for your computer to load - just like how you’d probably find yourself doodling if there was paper and a pen next to you instead of your DS.

Unfortunately the fact that the game is largely unplayable 50% of the time due to the tracking issues is a problem too large to ignore, and takes AntiGrav from a “must buy” to a “might rent”.

The simple fact is Enthusia is simply a simulation of life, but has little life itself.

Not a single portion of the game, be it graphics, storyline, sound, or AI manages to live up to the standards we've come to expect from the FPS genre.

At the heart of the title, there's a generic third-person shooter. The game doesn't try and doesn't succeed in progressing or adding anything to the genre, and you'll probably get bored halfway through.

It isn’t finished for a start: while the game functions, there are way too many bugs, and they often hinder your progress whilst running missions. It’s been a just over a month since MxO’s release and it appears that Monolith are still struggling to get it running smoothly. "There’s a glitch in the Matrix" indeed.

It's all one big corridor, with the same enemies starting out in the same place each time you hit 'retry'.

Don’t expect to complete Imperial Glory anytime soon; like a good book, you’ll have to invest your time, but you’re repaid with a great reward.

A solid, if a little unspectacular survival horror title. While the “fear factor” may be a touch below the sheer terror instilled, there’s still many a moment where your feel a little nervous as to what you’ll witness next.

Inevitably, such an involved game is unlikely to convert the masses, regardless of its quality. For wired-up MORPG fans though, Monster Hunter is a likeable, though unexceptional, addition to the genre.

To deliver the final shot to the head as far as items are concerned, they very rarely actually have any strategic value in a race. You're perfectly capable of regaining your previous position in the race within a few seconds should you be hit with, say, a multicoloured spinning disc. Imaginative, huh?

Only on a cold day in hell would this game be your best choice.

Spend the cash on the DVD instead to avoid certain disappointment.

Overall the appeal of Rumble Roses has to be limited to the hormonal crazed wrestling fan adolescents, though really they could do better getting Smackdown and having a browse on Google images.

It is the best survival horror title I’ve played, if not the scariest game. It is quite humorous to watch, doesn’t take itself too seriously, and what’s more allows for two player co-op play and much dying.

The only impact this game makes on an already saturated market is decidedly minimum. It'll take a whole load of nudges to turn this spin of the wheel into a winner.

In no particular area does Suikoden excel, and in no area does it progress the genre one iota.
