Not the killer uDraw app it could have been, but a competent control scheme. [Feb 2012, p.91]

The gameplay is "Lego"-game-like; the attention to detail, broad appeal and polish isn't. [Sept 2008, p.68]

In typical "Getaway" style, this swings from virtually unplayable to crime-filled fun. [Oct 2006, p.62]

Solid and enjoyable stuff but also incredibly shallow by today's standards. [Aug 2009, p.84]

A tweaked combat system and open world are welcome, but more inspiration is needed. [Apr 2018, p.72]

Another enjoyable adventure clouded by an ill-judged soft-reset for existing collections everywhere. [Christmas 2014, p.73]

Full of gore and ideas, but ultimately it fails to deliver on its initial promise. [Dec 2007, p.80]

Gags frequently hit the mark. The other bits? Not so much. [Sept 2013, p.70]

Extremely basic and only six sports, but no other compilation has this selection of events. [Sept 2008, p.79]

Weak combat and pacing issues spoil an otherwise interesting game of competitive construction. [Aug 2015, p.77]

If you're familiar with Naruto, it's faithful stuff. If not, it's hard, fast, and bloody weird. [June 2013, p.83]

Hardly groundbreaking and extremely limited, but worth a look at for ease of play and price. [June 2007, p.82]

This really does deserve a proper sequel - but on the PSP where it belongs. [Feb 2007, p.76]
