C&C4 feels much more refined as a result of these changes - as though great pains have been made to nudge the series into new territory. It's all the better for it, feeling like a breath of fresh air. [May 2010, p.77]

The ability to switch between classic and HD visuals is a brief curiosity, but nothing more. [May 2013, p.81]

Suffers from horribly blurred environments and rather buggy (ho!) collision detection. [Sept 2012, p.101]

Nearly a return to form, but the new 'grown up' attitude takes away more than it gives. [Christmas 2008, p.62]

Problems persist, but let yourself get sucked in and this could keep you for the long haul. [Feb 2014, p.72]

Action-based online RPG-ing, and nowhere near as intimidating as its PC-based cousins. [Christmas 2006, p.88]

Enjoyable, if lightweight, tower defense at a decent price. [Feb 2013, p.87]

Packs a charming city hub, but dull repetitive combat lets it down. [June 2012, p.80]

A unique VR experience - but seriously lacking in substance. [VR Tested; May 2016, p.80]

It's potential is never fully realised. [Jan 2013, p.79]

An extreme exercise in patience. [Sept 2013, p.71]

A decent debut. A few tweaks and "SmackDown" will be cacking its spandex. [Nov 2008, p.80]

Brilliantly mad and visually striking, but the combat can feel repetitive. [Nov 2013, p.64]

As satisfying as a nutmeg and as exciting as a scissor kick. A vast improvement from before. [Feb 2008, p.56]

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

It may not be for music-making purists, but the matching visuals add to a unique experience, the fruits of which can be broadcast live across PSN. [Aug 2012, p.79]

Wastes the potential of its predecessor with its wonky difficulty curve and frequent frustrations. [March 2016, p.78]

A clever twin-stick shooter with a roguelike twist and impressively deep customisation. [Issue#333, p.61]

A slick and entertaining basketball sim, but then again so was last year's. [Dec 2006, p.100]

It has all the essential ingredients of a great Assassin's Creed game bar the depth. [Christmas 2009, p.79]

Bar a bit of slowdown, it's impressive stuff. [Apr 2012, p.90]

Satisfying stuff. [June 2013, p.85]

Myriad barriers sour the experience. [July 2013, p.84]
