Enjoyable in short doses, but too repetitive an annoying to really succeed. [Sept 2006, p.69]

It's sensible like Mensa but lacks character in the face of ultra-stylish Eastern equivalents. [Sept 2007, p.73]

Could have been a great time-sink, but Crimson Dragon disappoints. [Jan 2014, p.63]

If this is a trial run for "Boogie 2," we just hope it works better next time. [Nov 2007, p.84]

Witty dialogue, terrific voice acting and great music. Shame about the actual game. [August 2012, p.69]

Unfortunate proof that the classics of old don't always hold up well when dropped into the modern day. [July 2016, p.78]

Nauseatingly basic and lazily produced, this should be avoided by all but fervent PS devotees. [Jan 2013, p.63]

Ideological qualm aside, this is mild fun. [Aug 2011, p.93]

It won't appeal to anyone over eight. [Apr 2009, p.83]

A glorified art gallery. [Sept 2011, p.91]

What should be an epic race with huge scale and freedom is short-lived, disjointed and linear. [Jan 2012, p.64]

The racing simply isn't good enough. [Christmas 2015, p.69]

As a game it's meaningless bilge. [Nov 2013, p.73]

Hardly the ointment Ninty needs to soothe its Wii U woes. [Apr 2014, p.79]
