Nearly everything about this game screams half-singed: the "Diablo"-riffic graphics, the text that doesn't match the voice acting during the clunky cut-scenes, and the goofily written manual that gives away most of the game's surprises. [March 2005, p.81]- Computer Games Magazine

Primal Hunt is a collection of annoying "Quickload" moments resulting in a thoroughly annoying game. [Nov 2002, p.84]- Computer Games Magazine
-
- Critic Score
While it has personality, it's often homely, and despite the welcome addition of a bit of sleaze, it focuses on the more mundane parts of running a casino. [Sept 2003, p.87]- Computer Games Magazine

- Critic Score
But this isn't so much a racing game as a slapdash splash of smeared color that never quite captures the feeling of hurtling down a track. [Jun 2006, p.92]- Computer Games Magazine

Overall, you'd be better off just going to see the movie again. [March 2005, p.85]- Computer Games Magazine

Provides a very satisfying wrap-up to this series and, in some ways, is the best gaming experience of the group.- Computer Games Magazine

Suffers from crippling lack of polish, content, and forethought. [Nov 2003, p.93]- Computer Games Magazine
-
- Critic Score
Attention to detail doesn't go far when core gameplay is this scattered. You could make a good rugby game for the PC, but Rugby 2004 isn't it. [Mar 2004, p.83]- Computer Games Magazine
-
- Critic Score
Manages to recreate the chaos of Vietnam almost too well. It's an exhausting game, with very little let up. [Jan 2005, p.68]- Computer Games Magazine
-
- Critic Score
Aside from the TV tie-in, there is nothing in Alias to recommend it over other games of its type. [Sept 2004, p.69]- Computer Games Magazine
-
- Critic Score
The game's dialogue system almost resembles a tree, except you basically just click on any of the questions until they're all gone. Interrogation at its, um, finest. [June 2005, p.58]- Computer Games Magazine

The armored Task Force engine is one of the most complete, and completely baffling, systems in modern computer wargaming[sic]. [Dec p.63]- Computer Games Magazine
-
- Critic Score
Requires too much of an investment in time to get to the interesting parts, and by then it's too late - the thrill is gone. [Sept 2003, p.80]- Computer Games Magazine
-
- Critic Score
This is the most disappointment I've ever felt playing a game. [July 2004, p.7]- Computer Games Magazine
-
- Critic Score
It's a bullet-ballet rail ride with decent graphics, passable physics, horrible character animation, and an uninteresting world. [Feb. 2007, p.69]- Computer Games Magazine
-
- Critic Score
The whole thing plays out like some budgetware "Turn-Based Combat RPG for Dummies". [Oct. 2006, p.80]- Computer Games Magazine
-
- Critic Score
Rival Interactive had their chance to fix its onerous product, and for all the tweaks, it's still just not enough. [Feb 2003, p.81]- Computer Games Magazine
-
- Critic Score
What bodes particularly well for gamers, however, is the fact that gameplay borrows heavily from "NiGHTS" - a cult hit that has yet to find its own sequel. [Sept 2004, p.7]- Computer Games Magazine
-
- Critic Score
What isn't quite so entertaining is the reliance on essentially one weapon. [Sept 2002, p.86]- Computer Games Magazine
-
- Critic Score
Unfortunately, like a TV show, when the game's over, it's over. [Nov 2003, p.101]- Computer Games Magazine
-
- Critic Score
Only moderately entertaining, and lacks much of the original's personality due to the graphics that are too small and indistinct, but mostly due to it being so derivative. [Feb 2003, p.87]- Computer Games Magazine

To get an accurate sense of what playing Star Wars: Battle for Naboo is like, find a heavy object and bash yourself over the head with it.- Computer Games Magazine

On the easier levels, it's a silly exercise in mashing buttons to spew ammo throughout a world of bad physics, cheap animation, and tinny sound. [June 2005, p.90]- Computer Games Magazine

The only thing it really adds to the Carnivores series is snow and hair, but if you enjoyed the previous hunting games and wanted more, then, well, here's more.- Computer Games Magazine

Offers a large selection of wrestlers to choose from, but other than their appearance, there is very [little] to differentiate one from the other, and noe have any character to speak of. [Mar 2003, p.88]- Computer Games Magazine
-
- Critic Score
An amazing bargain, particularly if you like the idea of exploring a dynamic universe and don't mind filling in a few gaps with imagination while you live the Captain Kirk fantasy. [July 2004, p.67]- Computer Games Magazine
-
- Critic Score
Even worse is the enemy AI, which either miraculously sees you or remains unaware of your presence even if you're standing right in front of an enemy soldier. [Nov 2003, p.100]- Computer Games Magazine

CrossCut Games needs to find a good exterminator, because Runesword II is infested with bugs. Swarms of them.- Computer Games Magazine
