    Not a shocking update of the arcade classic, but an unnecessary one. [Christmas 2006, p.103]
    • Official Playstation 2 Magazine UK
    • 61 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    An original and entertaining addition to the Star Wars canon with great new characters and some cracking action. [Christmas 2006, p.86]
    • Official Playstation 2 Magazine UK
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Deep single-player options and suitably frantic multiplayer combine to make this a joyful and long-lasting handheld bash-up. [Jan 2007, p.81]
    • Official Playstation 2 Magazine UK
    • 87 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A fun game for short sessions, suited to the system and with some clever ideas, but it's not the proper Metal Gear Solid title we were expecting. [Mar 2007, p.107]
    • Official Playstation 2 Magazine UK
    • 64 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    While there's enough variety and humour here to appeal to almost everyone in the family, wtihout a decent multiplayer mode to anchor it into your PS2, RRR's half-life is extremely short. [Jan 2007, p.79]
    • Official Playstation 2 Magazine UK
    • 65 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A solid attempt to bring the gritty realism of war to handheld, but shooter-nuts are better off sticking with "Medal of Honor Heroes." [Jan 2007, p.88]
    • Official Playstation 2 Magazine UK
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    There's no need to own both versions unless you're rich or stupid, but this is commendable nonetheless. [Christmas 2006, p.102]
    • Official Playstation 2 Magazine UK
    • 33 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    An offence to Harley lovers and gamers alike, Race to the Rally crams all the worst crimes in gaming into one package. [May 2007, p.83]
    • Official Playstation 2 Magazine UK
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A superb package with great games and some truly inspired extras - and a real trip down memory lane for some of us. [Mar 2007, p.94]
    • Official Playstation 2 Magazine UK
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Limited in terms of gameplay, but it's got an undeniable appeal and is often great fun - who wouldn't enjoy kicking ass as Superman and Batman working in unison? [Jan 2007, p.87]
    • Official Playstation 2 Magazine UK
    • 81 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Short-lived and has little new to offer, but the online options and improved Crosstalk bring it back from the brink. [July 2007, p.95]
    • Official Playstation 2 Magazine UK
    • 69 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A great game that's packed with smart ideas and presented in such an appealing way that you can't help but fall under its spell. [Christmas 2006, p.84]
    • Official Playstation 2 Magazine UK
    • 48 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    We could suggest that the inability of your squad members to follow the simplest of orders is a complex situation of the confusing nature of war, but that would be giving the game way too much credit. [Christmas 2006, p.102]
    • Official Playstation 2 Magazine UK
    • 36 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    A collection of mini-games and a couple of dreadful driving sections. Just watch the show and play "Need For Speed Carbon." [May 2007, p.82]
    • Official Playstation 2 Magazine UK
    • 62 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A decent enough puzzler, but at a wallet-punching 30 pounds you'd do better to get yourself a copy of "Lumines" on the cheap instead. [Apr 2007, p.99]
    • Official Playstation 2 Magazine UK
    • 64 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Once the glow of nostalgia has faded, the fact that the gameplay is predictable and unfair can't be ignored. Disappointing. [Christmas 2006, p.101]
    • Official Playstation 2 Magazine UK
    • 64 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    It's not as bad as most Trek titles, but TA fails to boldly go where no game has gone before. [Jan 2007, p.92]
    • Official Playstation 2 Magazine UK
    • 69 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The name is a little misleading, but it's still probably our favourite Singstar setlist so far. [May 2006, p.93]
    • Official Playstation 2 Magazine UK
    • 62 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A sprawling RPG/card fighter that deals out a solid cartoon-based battler, once you get beyond the tutorial. Colourful and cute, it wold have made more sense on PS2. [Mar 2007, p.109]
    • Official Playstation 2 Magazine UK
    • 52 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A busy and rather decent shooter targeted towards young 'uns, but there's very little on offer here for veteran gamers. [Christmas 2006, p.85]
    • Official Playstation 2 Magazine UK
    • 80 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A glorious soundtrack and a fresh approach to the rhythm action genre makes this a winner - it's bloody hard, mind you. [Sept 2006, p.83]
    • Official Playstation 2 Magazine UK
    • 80 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    An influx of enjoyable new characters and stacks of authenticity keep this the finest grapple game on the planet. [Dec 2006, p.72]
    • Official Playstation 2 Magazine UK
    • 62 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    RPG elements shoved into some half-cooked attempt at achieving depth of play, Uzumaki Chronicles is a missed opportunity. [July 2007, p.90]
    • Official Playstation 2 Magazine UK
    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Perfect if you're new to the series: pointless if you've already got an NFL Street. [Mar 2007, p.93]
    • Official Playstation 2 Magazine UK
    • 39 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A very ordinary racing game with a wrong-headed storyline tacked on. Stick with Micro Machines for your diddy-driving kicks. [Oct 2006, p.105]
    • Official Playstation 2 Magazine UK
    • 56 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    One for completist retro-heads only. Too many duds spoil the murky broth but there are some classics and near-forgotten gems tucked away here. [Christmas 2006, p.92]
    • Official Playstation 2 Magazine UK
    • 51 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A likeable adventure hidden beneath a catalogue of design errors. Still less painful than sitting through the movie. [Christmas 2006, p.72]
    • Official Playstation 2 Magazine UK
    • 59 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Less fiery dragon, more a damp squid. [Jan 2007, p.90]
    • Official Playstation 2 Magazine UK
    • 49 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Inoffensive and pretty licensed effort that's too repetitive to be anything more than a brief and casual diversion. [Christmas 2006, p.103]
    • Official Playstation 2 Magazine UK
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It's no "Tekken: Dark Resurrection," but baby-proof controls and some intriguing extras make Unchained an above-average face-rearranger. [Dec 2006, p.90]
