    The levels are colourless and lack life, the puzzles aren't anything special and the whole thing is as sterile as a laboratory. [Sept 2007, p.107]

    The How-To Guide Guide on how to murder a solid license, the only thing this game succeeds in is being even worse than its predecessor. [Aug 2007, p.88]

    Over complicated and visually lacklustre - this is a disappointing outing for Rainbow Six. Stick with "Medal of Honor Heroes." [Jan 2007, p.76]

    It's difficult not to find this fighter charming - even if the hero is a squaky-voiced brat. [Nov 2007, p.92]

    Surprisingly well made for a film tie-in. [Oct 2007, p.100]

    Don't let the presentation scare you. If ever there was a classic game that screams cult classic puzzler, it's this one. [June 2007, p.94]
    • Official Playstation 2 Magazine UK
    • 63 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The fighting and alchemy are great. But the repetitive questing, slow storyline and disappointing graphics will wear out the biggest RPG freak. [July 2007, p.84]

    • 38 Metascore

    Fans only. [July 2007, p.97]

    A simply concept that makes for a fiendishly tricky and addictive game. Sadly let down slightly by some clumsy controls. [May 2007, p.89]

    • 83 Metascore

    Exceptional in looks, sound and story. [Apr 2008, p.78]

    • 61 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Good-looking, good-natured and entertaining but simplistic and shallow too. [Oct 2007, p.123]

    • 54 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Without the unlockables, this game lasts three hours. You're better off using those three hours to watch the very film instead. [July 2007, p.82]

    • 41 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Certainly won't make your PSP break a sweat, but the multiplayer options are good and we'd rather play this than yet another dull retro collection. [Christmas 2006, p.97]

    • 67 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Takes time to blossom but grows into the kind of game PSP was made for. One to enjoy little and often rather than in long sessions. [Mar 2007, p.109]
    • Official Playstation 2 Magazine UK
    • 56 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Its unique sense of humor and well-rounded characters make this one to consider for a kid's birthday present. [Aug 2007, p.91]
    • Official Playstation 2 Magazine UK
    • 57 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Despite a few technical glitches this is a solid back-to-basics effort with some extra bells and whistles and a load of groove. [July 2007, p.94]
    • Official Playstation 2 Magazine UK
    • 49 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A once-fine example of dogfighting laid low by its transition to PSP, Heatseeker isn't bad, but neither is it anywhere near brilliant. [July 2007, p.93]
    • Official Playstation 2 Magazine UK
    • 59 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Without motion-sensitive controls, Downhill Jam is a shallow (albeit somewhat enjoyable) game marred by some irritating bugs. [Aug 2007, p.86]

    • 50 Metascore

    Despite a huge citiy and a great swinging mechanic with which to get through it, Spider-Man 3 is repetitive and disappointing. [June 2007, p.90]
    • Official Playstation 2 Magazine UK
    • 60 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Heatseeker's main problem is that all this action, however it's presented, remains much the same throughout the game. The jets and locations change but the tone and intensity do not. And that makes Heatseeker a rather predictable experience. [Mar 2007, p.90]
    • Official Playstation 2 Magazine UK
    • 44 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Too many games that involve no skill. [Aug 2007, p.98]
    • Official Playstation 2 Magazine UK
    • 72 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A decent, short-term hack'n'blast that's best with two players who like old-school games, but a far cry from today's big action titles. [Apr 2007, p.77]
    • Official Playstation 2 Magazine UK
    • 61 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    A purebred '80s throwback, Raiden III hasn't a chance of competing with exciting modern shooters - or even the classics of yesteryear. Look elsewhere for your shoot-'em-up thrills. [Oct 2006, p.104]
    • Official Playstation 2 Magazine UK
    • 53 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Very average RPG mechanisms, diabolical missions, non-existent storyline, monstrously difficult battles... it's a bleak outcome. [Sept 2007, p.107]
    • Official Playstation 2 Magazine UK
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    At times sublime, but sadly it's the frantic and frustrating Dark Prince sections that linger longest in the memory. [Jan 2007, p.78]

    Providing you have a taste for the Top 20, or are a pre-adolescent girl, Pop Hits delivers another welcome helping of tacky karaoke goodness. [Apr 2007, p.86]

    • 45 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    All the natty Maria dialogue and realistic story threads can't disguise the fact that, at its core, Made Man is bland like breadsticks. [Dec 2006, p.81]

    Bargain. [Aug 2007, p.85]

    Some issues with the control system can't stop this being a fun and surprisingly enjoyable game for fans of the film. [May 2007, p.86]
    • Official Playstation 2 Magazine UK
    • 63 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Shoddy, dull, and filled with recycled WW2 content we tired of years ago. The weakest MOH on PS2: nothing more than a poor man's "Call of Duty." [Apr 2007, p.74]
