An unrelenting ugly parade of death and loss and regret. With bad controls. [Christmas 2007, p.119]

It's the ultimate package for DBZ fans. For everyone else it's one of the most technical and rewarding fighters out there. [Christmas 2007, p.90]

Illegal street racing makes for a fun game. Auto testing on a runway doesn't. [Christmas 2007, p.96]

A solid addition to the series. [Aug 2007, p.84]

So simple that it's actually a bit limited, despite a substantial multiplayer offer. [Christmas 2007, p.123]

Simple to get into, it quickly becomes addictive. [Mar 2008, p.85]

There's no finer grap game out there. [Apr 2008, p.76]

Disappointing. Should have been a download - as it is, it simply gets us down. [May 2008, p.107]

Thoughtful, strategic and neat, but you may get bored after a while. [Mar 2008, p.107]

Nice to look at and entertaining for a while, but is ultimately vacuous and short-lived. [Christmas 2007, p.92]

Interesting details for fans but also works as a standalone game - plus it maintains the chilling atmosphere of the big-screen games. [Christmas 2007, p.122]

The singleplayer campaign or the multiplayer options alone would make this essential. But the two together bode for months of enjoyment. [Dec 2007, p.119]

A multitude of monstery mini-games that makes for a festival of family fun. [Jan 2008, p.96]

Not as educational as the upcoming "Buzz! Schools," but Mega is a packet of guaranteed rainy-day entertainment. [Apr 2007, p.90]

As a racing game, Cars is good, straightforward, family fun. As a movie license, it's a must for all fans. [Christmas 2007, p.88]

All the best stuff from the first two games has been kept in and everything that's been added just makes this GH the best yet. [Christmas 2007, p.80]

Expensive and almost impossible not to cheat in singleplayer. [Dec 2007, p.119]

An incredibly good value. [May 2008, p.106]
