Look beyond the shoddy exterior and there's a surprisingly rich and varied arcade flyer. [Christmas 2010, p.58]

It's bad. Not in a '80s Michael Jackson album sense, either. Just the traditional 'the genocide in East Timor was bad' kind. [Christmas 2008, p.68]

Stick to the books instead. [July 2009, p.73]

Jake Hunter should come with a health warning: may caus lung cancer. [Sept 2008, p.71]

Glitchy, hard to control, unimaginative, repetitive, frustrating, overpriced... Nobody except Tony Hawk himself seems to like it. [Jan 2010, p.73]

Another lazy cash-in. [Sept 2011, p.64]

Heralded by some as a potential "Pilotwings" replacement, this is in no way as deep, clever or fun. Naff missions tackled in a vehicle not even remotely handling like a plane. [JPN Import]

Glimmers of good ideas are squished under the boot of boring. [Aug 2007, p.66]

We wonder if we did something terrible in a past life which is coming back to haunt us as movie tie-in Monsters vs. Aliens. [June 2009, p.74]

Not enough depth to bother a PC strategy title, but the intended crowd (fans of manga girls) may find something new to do here. [Sept 2009, p.71]

An awkward and ugly collection of minigames. [Apr 2010, p.62]

Repetitive button mashing in a mechanical 20-year-old game that's completely lacking innovation. Will the army ever nail these outdated and dull monsters? [January 2007, p.44]

A misshapen, boring and stunted beast. [June 2010, p.57]

Fans of the movie might get suckered in but this is uninspired stuff. While the remote is great in most games, it's no dance-mat replacement. [January 2007, p.50]

Too easy. [Feb 2011, p.70]
