    A major factor in the addictive and fun nature of Guitar Hero II is the excellent learning curve.

    It is one of the finest 3D games ever produced; nay crafted. At last, this is the 'third place'... this truly is the third dimension. History has just been rewritten.

    Bloodborne is a sterling example of what can be achieved with the latest technology while also recalling an older, simpler time, where a game’s actual structure, gameplay, and content took precedence over its potential profitability.

    Voice acting throughout is superb, and again really gives the whole game an impressive cinematic feel.

    A great game and worthy of every racing fan's collection. It's no quick-thrill arcade ride, however, and those looking for something more along those lines should think twice before considering Forza.
    • 92 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The blend of presentation, visuals, sound, animation and commentary combines to create a believable and hugely enjoyable experience.

    • 80 Critic Score
    A few less than spectacular extra features complete the package. Worth mention only for reference these include annoying celebrity matches, and a frustrating ESPN 25th anniversary mode, where the top 25 plays in football are reenacted by the player.

    Seeing the ducks from "Duck Hunt" or the 2 dimensional Ice-climbers (also featured as playable characters) will have you praising Nintendo for their kindness in bringing back some long forgotten gaming moments.

    It is fair to say that on the current generation we have a perfect racing package.

    Simply put, you have to play Batman: Arkham Asylum to be reminded why you love games in the first place.
    • 92 Metascore

    It features playability by the bucket full, a superb main character and some of the most amazing graphical effects seen on any next generation system so far. It pulls you towards it like a moth to a flame and just like a doomed insect you can do nothing but succumb to it.

    If you've got "Tricky," you'll find more of the same without the clarity of the level design and structure - but if you're new to the series and just want some fast action, you'll probably love everything there is about it, so enjoy!

    The biggest let-down though is that Soul Calibur 2 feels much more like a remake than a true sequel. [Import]
    • 92 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Near the end of the game... the game loses all balance and a high proportion of cheesy twists and one boss fight after the other thrown at you all at once.
    • 92 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Smash Bros shows that despite the Wii U’s constant struggle to gain mainstream acceptance, Nintendo are still ploughing ahead, producing the most fun content you can find. Gather some friends together and there really is nothing better.
    • 92 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Casual players will notice very little difference and probably resent the soundtrack, favouring the more varied original. Experts will savour the focus of the new tracks and find the tweaked mechanics to be an absolute godsend, placing this high above the original.
    • 92 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    You can play the game time and time again. Always finding something new, from a new piece of materia to a new place, to defeating the ultimate weapons. The story twists and turns all the time always keeping you guessing as to what will happen next.

    It gets better as it goes, and perhaps even better with age, and still puts most other RPGs to shame.
    • 92 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    To match such thrill-a-minute environments, the level design, puzzles, and boss fights are all insanely original.
    • 92 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Simply the best adventure game currently available on the Gameboy Advance. It's tough, but rewarding, plays extremely well and is not a simple port like so many other of Nintendo's releases before it.
    • 91 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Rock Band 2 really is the game Rock Band should have been in the first place, but it's nothing more than that.
    • 91 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Bayonetta 2 is an outright fantastic game. It’s another very good reason to own a Wii U and it outclasses practically every other game of this type by a considerable margin.
    • 91 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    However it's all about balance, and Insomniac know how to keep players busy long after the main story has been completed, which is good, as it does feel a little short.

    There's little point in buying this version. Gamestyle recommends either waiting for the upgrade or renting this for a solid weekend of tactical espionage action.
    • 91 Metascore

    An epic piece of gaming.

    RE4 is still a fantastic game and one of the best games of the last generation, but a few extra play modes wouldn't have gone amiss. Still, if you missed out on the horror the first time then this is the perfect way to catch up.
    • 91 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    It manages to enlarge its scope from being something which entertains on a functional level to becoming something that emits enchantment and appreciation on a purely 'emotional' level.

    • 90 Critic Score
    What the original Borderlands did so well has been grabbed and near perfected with this sequel. The comedy may be hit and miss, but it thrives on its shooting and loot grabbing. Many hours of fun will await you in Pandora.
    • 91 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    God of War: Chains of Olympus is a fantastic game and a worthy addition to any PSP owner’s collection.
    • 91 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    This is an average, generic experience. For all its lofty ambitions and hype it is an unbelievable failure, a real disappointment for all PlayStation 3 owners.
