The extra 6 months in development could have been used to make the controls actually controllable.- Boomtown
-
- Critic Score
A gripping, and challenging, single player mode should eat up a good ten to twelve hours, and the wealth of multiplayer options should keep you going for a lot longer.- Boomtown

The game's sound effort is nothing short of impressive, with a particularly thumping, epic soundtrack playing throughout.- Boomtown

If you’re looking for a serious racer this isn’t for you, but if you just want some quick arcade style action this could be right up your street.- Boomtown

The game looks good, but is let down by a poor camera control system and the music is simply woeful.- Boomtown

- Critic Score
The only question is whether or not you like the sound of the track list, so take a gander, and maybe join me in a never-ending quest to collect noise pollution charges.- Boomtown

- Critic Score
It presents a good learning curve for those unaccustomed to the Wiimote, and stays true to the tried-and-tested Monkey Ball formula.- Boomtown

- Critic Score
The fairly patchy Wii functionality isn't enough to critically damage Marvel Ultimate Alliance but it's certainly something many developers will have to work on. It should make the inevitable sequel something to look forward to.- Boomtown

- Critic Score
There’s no easy way to put this, but Sonic the Hedgehog is quite possibly the worst Sonic game ever.- Boomtown
-
- Critic Score
It is a great game, and I am inches away from giving it a higher score than I am doing, but with the potential the Playstation 3 has, I don’t think we should set the bar too high too fast, despite my full recommendation of the game.- Boomtown

There are minor problems, such as lackluster cut scenes that fail to live up to the opening cinematic and a loot collection system that sometimes forces you to choose between holding the line and making a quick dash for cash, but if you're prepared to overlook these then the game should make a worthy addition to your collection.- Boomtown

The best PC strategy game I've played for ages, since Rome: Total War in fact. Even if you aren't entirely happy about the period covered, it being something of a retread, there's so many new features and depth in this release to make any comparison with the first Medieval: Total War rather pointless.- Boomtown

- Critic Score
A pleasure to experience from start to finish. It’s thorough, pretty, sometimes challenging and downright fun to play.- Boomtown
-
- Critic Score
One disappointment is that no new classes have been introduced, and there's no denying that the scales are probably tipped slightly in favour of newcomers and/or those looking to start a fresh alt, but it's also undeniably a well rounded and substantial package that deserves a look from anyone even remotely curious about the game.- Boomtown

To hear a paper deer making sounds was one of the highlights in my gaming world for a long, long time. This should tell you something about this game, which is entirely in a league of its own.- Boomtown

- Critic Score
The scope for large online battles and some great fun action in the single-player mode make this a worthwhile purchase. Fans of "Call of Duty 2" will really have a lot of fun with it. But Call of Duty 3 could have and should have, been better than this.- Boomtown
-
- Critic Score
The single-player is decent, but relies on its co-op functionality to pull you out of its twitchy gameplay troubles. If you can get around that, Combined Assault is worth sticking your head out in the firing line for.- Boomtown

- Critic Score
While there are no songs that give the same sense of glory that More Than A Feeling had in the first game, it offers plenty of fun for the non-musician and musician alike and is one of the better party games available for PlayStation 2.- Boomtown

If you've a love for games such as Civilization and Settlers then this is one PC game you can't do without. While not as high-profile as those titles it should not be missed.- Boomtown

- Critic Score
There are a large number of secret missions for Espers, weapons and general loot, which should keep a completionist playing for a good number of hours, but I can’t help but feel like for all of its production values, depth, and size, Final Fantasy XII tries too hard to reinvent itself, missing those aspects that brought a swarm of fans to the series from FFVII.- Boomtown

- Critic Score
The similarities between it and the first Killzone are tenuous at best, but each and every change is a welcome one when a game as polished as this gets released.- Boomtown
-
- Critic Score
It feels like a gaming time capsule, reminding you of how things used to be. Power Stone deserves to be played again, so this is still recommended. Once it loads up, at least.- Boomtown
-
- Critic Score
Many of the set-pieces are utterly predictable (the mini-battlemech you meet coming up on a lift platform thing, for example, or the snipers in the distant windows on a rooftop), and the AI seems distinctly switched off for these moments.- Boomtown
-
- Critic Score
A lazy effort. Xbox Live play is poorly implemented and those seeking online racing are better off trying the PC version.- Boomtown
-
- Critic Score
Essentially, Need for Speed: Carbon is Need for Speed: Most Wanted in the dark, but with a more expensive price tag.- Boomtown

Vice City Stories is an amazing game, and one I would wholeheartedly recommend, (a lot of work has gone into it, despite the fact that the city has undergone few changes from the original) but I hope that for the upcoming (if you can wait a year) "GTA IV" we see enough of a change to refresh the genre and franchise, because the games are great, but starting to seem quite samey.- Boomtown
