Tedious and incredibly unrewarding. [Aug 2008, p.65]

Depressing from the very first row of formulaic collectable yellow orbs, Raving Rabbids is platforming by numbers. [Feb 2007, p.75]

The drudgery of seeking is broken up with occasional spot the difference and tile-sliding puzzles but these can be skipped without incurring penalty. [Issue#56, p.71]

Uninspired controls. [Jan 2009, p.70]
