    A surprising success, Juiced 2 is a glamorous, feature-rammed racer with variety by the hood-scoop load and mass appeal. [Oct 2007, p.86]

    Too short despite early promise of an epic, Heavenly Sword is quite a disappointment. [Oct 2007, p.119]

    It still rules the rink, but if you're already familiar with the series, NHL 08 doesn't do enough to prevent "NHL 07" deja vu. [Nov 2007, p.88]

    It's still the best hockey game on PS2, but a lack of new features means it's just last year's game reloaded. [Dec 2007, p.98]

    This is every bit as stinking as you would expect. Imagine playing a game designed by someone who really, really hates you. [Jan 2007, p.93]

    The weakest title yet from the Naruto series. It feels unsurprisingly familiar, and lacks any real punch. [Apr 2008, p.82]

    As addictive as they come. [Oct 2007, p.122]

    Highly addictive with a damn near perfect gameplay balance, Warhawk is the bomb. [Oct 2007, p.119]

    A joy to play. There's tons to do, and immaculate attention to detail really brings this charming and gritty game to life. [Sept 2007, p.102]

    If you can handle the mental strain, Ignition is worth a look but we wouldn't jump through flaming hoops to get it into our PS2. [Oct 2007, p.90]

    Fun, comical and light-hearted, but does get tiresome due to endless random battles and the hero's over-the-top quips. [Mar 2008, p.80]

    No teammates, no cover system: GRAW 2 PSP couldn't feel further from its console brothers if it tried. Stick to SOCOM. [Sept 2007, p.103]

    Spellbinding stuff with lashings of imagination: well worth top marks! [Feb 2008, p.76]

    A stonking package that will keep fans and fresh faces busy until Madden 09. [Oct 2007, p.98]

    As a port, it does the job. But the convulsive controls and lack of new features makes TRA for PSP only an optional extra to the PS2 experience. [Aug 2007, p.99]

    The crazy racer is now showing its age up against some strong competition, and its eccentric handling is all over the shop on PSP. [Sept 2007, p.105]

    While the story is strong the clunky gameplay will irritate. [Dec 2007, p.108]

    Mostly just really tedious. [Sept 2007, p.91]

    Maintain's the "Everybody's" good name by being a deceptively brilliant sports sim that constantly surprises and challenges. [May 2007, p.78]

    PaRappa is just as refreshing today as he was 10 years ago, though somewhat hampered by the PSP's control scheme. [Aug 2007, p.101]

    Will delight even casual rugger fans. [Sept 2007, p.90]

    A deep, rewarding tennis game that lacks the fireworks of Virtua Tennis and also some of its fun. You will like it...eventually. [June 2007, p.95]

    • 56 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    With this subject matter it could've been great, but all the noise and effects in the galaxy can't disguise the lack of invention or class. [Aug 2007, p.82]

    Buy it if you didn't play it the first time, but otherwise prepare to be disappointed. [Feb 2008, p.107]

    Perfectly acceptable but largely uninspiring portion or generic platforming. [Dec 2007, p.99]

    The best Potter adventure ever and the best licensed game on PS2. For fans, it's essential and for everyone else, it's highly recommended. [July 2007, p.74]

    Unique survival tactics and some interesting ideas meant Raw Danger had the potential to be a classic, but poor delivery has crucified it. [June 2007, p.84]
