Any "Diablo" fan should lap the game up. It's a detailed, entertaining and long-lasting adventure with plenty to do and see.- Boomtown

If you’re a Tomb Raider completist or reckon you’ve great dexterity then you will find a very pleasing game here. I enjoyed my time with the PSP version of Tomb Raider Legend yet I knew it could have been a hell of a lot better.- Boomtown

Buy it, play it and love it as that’s what the Street Fighter games are all about.- Boomtown

If you can get past the problems or are fortunate enough not to care you are going to find a great biking sim with amazing depth and longevity. It’s one of the best loved games on Live, and this release shouldn’t do too much to change that.- Boomtown

It's a fun little romp that returns to some of the classic elements of the GTA series after the stylistic bump in the road that was San Andreas.- Boomtown

If you're someone who spends hours making movies with the game though the add-on is well worth you taking a look at. A bit more variety in the next expansion is warranted though as are some tweaks to the core gameplay.- Boomtown

It’s clear that this game is aimed at children. If you have a child that’s a fan of the film, this will no-doubt appeal to them and they may well find it a lot more enjoyable than older gamers.- Boomtown

It certainly feels like a complete segment, in that the ending is satisfying, interesting and leading towards the next episode.- Boomtown

It’s possibly the most mainstream Hitman yet but it’s also the most accessible and dare I say it the most fun. It’s certainly the most accomplished.- Boomtown

This is an awful, awful, awful game. Don’t even buy it for your enemies. Don’t even think about it. You’ll never get the time back you spend playing this rubbish.- Boomtown

- Critic Score
Sitting, uneasily as it does, between pure bred sim and arcade flyer, it should serve well as an introduction to the genre for those who've yet to reel through their first barrel roll, while the more hardcore player should find some challenge with the difficulty level ramped up.- Boomtown

The turn-based gameplay works surprisingly well on the PSP and the gameplay is easy to pick up and play, but packed with nuances and subtleties that you'll learn over time.- Boomtown

As such, the game has to be recommended but with certain caveats. Be aware of the skill levels needed to do well in both single player and multiplayer and if I’ve done my job correctly, you have now been well warned. If you have the mettle for the game, you’ll be delighted at what Rockstar has done and you’ll no doubt go on to great things on Xbox Live.- Boomtown

There are elements of the game that are enjoyable, particularly when it comes to the puzzles, but often the Da Vinci Code is as flat as its voice actors.- Boomtown

Welcome back, Mario. Each day without you was like another dagger through my (S)NES, and your return is triumphant if short-lived.- Boomtown

Should you buy it? Only if you’re willing to buy another 8 more somewhere down the line.- Boomtown

It’s the sort of game that even the most ardent tactical shooter fans are going to find frustrating.- Boomtown

Despite finding the storyline enjoyable, I couldn’t shake the feeling that it was only there to prepare me for PvP action.- Boomtown

Technical shortcomings do mar the experience though as does the lack of multiplayer.- Boomtown

Not only will you be giving yourself the chance to sample some of the best driving title delights in recent memory, but you’ll be encouraging all those other publishers and developers to keep on tweaking those much-loved, but ridiculously over-looked classics and offer up more of the same.- Boomtown

Five years is a long time for things to essentially stay the same, no matter how enjoyable they may have been in the first place.- Boomtown

One of the most fun, convincing, action-packed and atmospheric football games released on a console. It’s not merely a tournament cash-in, the choice of teams and game content mean it’s a full game in its own fight and bodes very well for the next full FIFA game.- Boomtown

The real meat and potatoes of the game lies in the championship mode. Hardcore fans of the sport will be delighted to know that it is an exact reproduction of the real life version.- Boomtown

If you liked the world of the original, buy it, you’ll get a kick out of everything, but if you’ve not even played the first one, then buy The Longest Journey and see what Dreamfall should have been; like its predecessor, focussed on the puzzles.- Boomtown

If there is to be a sequel, and I join the rising chorus of voices demanding one, it is going to have to properly develop the core (design) gameplay that Tomb Raider: Legend gets back to.- Boomtown

- Critic Score
No matter what you decide, Hearts of Iron II and Doomsday represent some of the best turn-based strategy you’ll ever play.- Boomtown

- Critic Score
Much of Tourist Trophy feels like a duller version of Gran Turismo 4 and that game wasn't exactly packed with thrilling racing. Polyphony really does need to rework its racing games to include some racing. There's fun to be had in TT but not nearly as much as there should be.- Boomtown
