Bare-bones American football without the entertainment we enjoyed in "NFL Street." [Apr 2008, p.73]

Frustrating because of its terrible implementation of its fantastic ideas. [March 2013, p.87]

How can Duke be such a dick, have such an inconsistently crappy game and we still enjoy it? [Sept 2011, p.84]

A passable strategy game, but not even fans will find much to love. [June 2008, p.80]

Some reasonably exciting aerial combat, but IL-2 Sturmovik still wins the dogfight. [Nov 2012, p.90]

Yawn. [May 2013, p.77]

Same brilliant game it always has been. [June 2011, p.89]

In short bursts, it plays well but the stellar source material begs for a better tie-in, and the game's finale provides all the exctiement of a soggy firework. [Jan 2007, p.72]

An interesting but underwhelming take on the open-world shooter - novel, but seriously janky. [July 2016, p.68]

Sweet sprites and backdrops really aren't enough to hide a pretty bog standard RPG. [Aug 2006, p.72]

Lacks the intensity, variety and action the Terminator license deserves. [June 2009, p.76]

Has no depth, no polish, and no point. [June 2009, p.81]

As a quaint button masher there's a superplex of fun to be had. [Christmas 2012, p.87]

Knight Rider? Shite Rider, more like. [Jan 2014, p.63]

An unremarkable FPS plagued by dim AI and repetitive set-pieces. [Apr 2013, p.68]

Levels are too long, too sedate and too tedious. It's the gaming equivalent of a Chinese Finger Trap. [Issue#232, p.95]

A nice collection of undemanding minigames, one for younger gamers only though. [Apr 2008, p.66]

Boo. We were hoping for mindless and stupid, but not THIS mindless and stupid. [Nov 2007, p.67]

Entertaining enough but high-speed dot-to-dot can only last for so long. [Nov 2008, p.84]

Horror with randomly-generated elements is well worth exploring, but this relies on many stale genre cliches. [July 2014, p.68]

Realistic, addictive and brutally satisfying sometimes let down by the controls. [Jan 2011, p.88]

Cool gadgets don't excuse the fact that most of this game is bland and repetitive stuff. [Sept 2006, p.68]

Other [puzzlers], unfortunately, rely on easily-missed collectibles or suffer from a lack of explanation. Combine all this with terrible acting(not helped by the script), technical flaws (including a consistently awful frame rate and occasional clipping), and a boring script, and you'll find that Syberia 3 leaves you cold. [July 2017, p.83]

It can be frustratingly hard too: slog. [Aug 2012, p.77]

Giving a niche audience what it wants, arguably at the expense of general appeal. [Mar 2008, p.76]

Not really a game, but even as an application this is pretty flaky stuff. [Sept 2008, p.78]

Ideal for complete beginners and Amy-haters, it's one to miss for the rest. [Feb 2013, p.85]

A better puzzler than action game but Saww 2 does little that the previous game didn't already. [Issue#232, p.95.]
