A bland, lackluster shooter. [Christmas 2009, p.102]

Too basic. [July 2010, p.95]

Horrible stuff. [Apr 2013, p.85]

It's not even a very good example of what's already a tired and lazy genre. [Mar 2011, p.100]

It's what a bag of roast beef crisps is to a Sunday roast with all the trimmings. [Sept 2007, p.90]

Pointless. [Aug 2008, p.103]

Nostalgia-seekers need not apply: this is easily outdone by the 13-year-old game from which it is derived. A shame. [Christmas 2012, p.111]

Limp shocks and dull content leave us with a lingering grudge towards Ju-On's creators. [Dec 2009, p.92]

Much like a real sandcastle, it's fun for an hour or so then becomes a washout. [Oct 2010, p.97]

Cheap, dreary gameplay and awful controls. What less could you want? [Christmas 2008, p.78]

It all falls down because it's just not fun to play in any way, shape or form. [Oct 2008, p.99]

It should have been so good, but it's been rushed to the shelves too early. What a pity. [Aug 2008, p.86]

There's no need for Rise of the Dark Spak to be as dull as it's turned out. [Sept 2014, p.84]

A bad conversion of an almost year-old Xbox game. Vengeance is playable but it's a massively disappointing Wii debut for the Far Cry series, and the worst FPS on the console so far. [Mar 2007, p.84]

A botched excuse for a stealth game whose only achievement is bringing a decent series' name into disrepute. This game should have been so much better. [Jan 2007, p.72]

You might as well chuck your money down the drain instead. At least you'll be able to control where it's going.

Despite showing enormous potential, Crash Boom Bang! is hampered by dodgy controls and a testing user interface. It's disappointing because this could have been a great multiplayer game. [Christmas 2006, p.80]

The game's saving grace is that it's good fun in multiplayer, because your friend suffers from the same controller problems you do so it feels even. [Apr 2009, p.86]

While you can teach an old dog new tricks, it's still a dog. [Nov 2011, p.95]

Half-baked rubbish. [Dec 2011, p.98]

Hastily constructed, poorly thought out and deeply unsatisfying: an endless runner you'll want to end. [Christmas 2012, p.111]

Simply garbage. [May 2013, p.87]

It's like a compilation of gaming's worst moments, wrapped up in a film license. [Feb 2008, p.20]

This is just rubbish...Cheap, tacky and completely untitillating, this has no place on WiiWare. [Dec 2009, p.99]

Ugly, unplayable and not even close to being fun. [Nov 2007, p.92]

It shows glimmers of fun, but a short story mode and lack of replay factor stifle it. [Sept 2011, p.98]

An extremely primitive quad bike racer with some predictable tracks and dismal presentation. [Nov 2009, p.99]

Awful.
