Note quite up there with the Pokemons of this world, but there is masses of potential here. [Aug 2007, p.84]

Critics might wonder that if GoW2 turned out this good, imagine what it would have been like on PS3...yet in resisting the lure of all that next-gen horsepower Sony Santa Monica have instead crafted a sequel that somehow - amazingly - coaxes out every last drop of PS2 juice to create a fitting testament to the system. Astonishing. [Apr 2007, p.78]

A decent quality package, but the controls need a rethink. [May 2007, p.65]

A competent debut for "COD" on PSP, but it's trumped by "Medal fo Honor: Heroes." [June 2007, p.82]

Not a disaster but fails to deliver the same action and satisfaction as earlier Rockys. [Mar 2007, p.79]

Jazzy looks, addictive 3-on-3 balling action and surprising longevity. Top balling fun! [Apr 2007, p.63]

Weak and insipid. [June 2007, p.80]

A disappointment, especially considering how daft and intoxicating "Fight for New York" was. [Apr 2007, p.72]

On its own terms, a brilliant racer. But it's not the most comprehensive Burnout ever. [Apr 2007, p.81]

Big and exciting, packed with content. It's GRAW 1.5 in terms of gameplay, however. [May 2007, p.67]

The Japanese version feels like a demo - hugely entertaining for what it is, but severely truncated and ultimately disappointingly lacking on content. [JPN Import; Feb 2007, p.74]

When it does work it's dull and when it tries something new it fails miserably. [June 2007, p.69]

Addictive play for the score junkie and a fun distraction for a while. [June 2008, p.83]

A few nice ideas are let down by an overenthusiastic DS control scheme. [June 2007, p.69]

It lacks the vitality it once had, but Vice City is still one of the best open-ended worlds. [Apr 2007, p.74]

A limp action game that fails to capture any of the jaw dropping action of the film. [May 2007, p.75]

Cheap and cheerful, but playing in your front room just seems...odd. [June 2007, p.85]

Technically excellent, if dry, representation of the sport. [Apr 2007, p.79]

Surprisingly enjoyable B-grade gaming - such a pity it doesn't retail for a budget price. [May 2007, p.78]

Bursting with action and complete stupidity. Not as good as "Total Overdose" though. [Mar 2007, p.83]

A brave experiment and one that's really paid off. Looks great, too. [May 2007, p.64]

Fun, but this isn't Meteos any more - it sure doesn't play like it! [Aug 2007, p.85]

The lack of a difference from "VF4" and the absence of online play is a disappointment. Because of this and the sober approach to fighting it's hard to warm up to VF5, but that seems to be the price Sega pay for making this the purest fighting game around. [Mar 2007, p.72]

Sonic finally delivers what the fans have been waiting for - simple, speedy action! [Apr 2007, p.68]

The most explosive action game on Xbox 360 yet. "GTA"s suddenly got a lot to live up to. [Mar 2007, p.64]

An entertaining, mildly addictive, if not innovative puzzler. [Aug 2007, p.85]

It has some of the best artificial intelligence we've ever seen in a strategy game...It's only January, but we've probably got the real-time strategy game of the year here. [Mar 2007, p.75]

Extremely arcadey and immediately engaging racing game. [Apr 2007, p.84]
