Only the most hardcore fans are going to persevere with it, and even then it just doesn't work properly. [Jan 2008, p.52]

An unexceptional entry in a prolific series. [May 2012, p.99]

This is okay for what it is, but what it is certainly isn't worth 30 quid. [July 2008, p.73]

As a tribute it's more souvenir than towering statue. [Christmas 2010, p.69]

A strong action RPG title that, due to a meticulous and inflexible storyline, is sadly at times as impenetrable as a remake of "Van Helsing" cast by the Goons from "Popeye." [JPN Import]

A dark fantasy adventure stripped of darkness, fantasy and, well, adventure. [July 2009, p.71]
