    Warriors Orochi 2 isn't short on content, but it's unlikely that many will want to persevere past the staggeringly poor frame rate and distinctly old-gen graphical flaws.

    Does a few good things, but is horribly basic compared to other big sporting titles. [Christmas 2017, p.90]

    Alas, the dancing is as spotty and unrefined as ever. [Xmas 2014, p.87]

    Seriously, there's nothing incredible about this. [Aug 2008, p.79]

    It's impossible to overcome the tedium after the first few hours. [July 2010, p.103]

    If this was a bargain-bin title we might be inclined to be slightly more forgiving, but as it is, this is 35 pounds for a game you've likely already played a far better version of. [Xmas 2014, p.87]

    A confused step for a game that's already suffering from a minor identity crisis. Disappointing. [March 2015, p.87]

    It's easy to accredit the success of Telltale's original Walking Dead to the strength of the fiction it's working with, but this flat opening salvo lacks the same nuances. [Apr 2016, p.77]

    • 49 Metascore

    It isn't a complete mess, but it's hard to imagine just who it was created for. [Christmas 2013, p.107]

    Sadly, we've Scene It all before. [Apr 2010, p.107]

    A distinctly sludgy shooter. [June 2011, p.102]

    The lack of Xbox Live play kills it dead. [Nov 2011, p.107]

    Activision's Transformers adaptations shed a little more charm and fascination each time they transform. This super-lean take feels like the last OK offering before the rot truly sets in.
    • 64 Metascore

    Not a great value package, really. [Apr 2016, p.90]
    • Official Xbox Magazine UK

    There's a general technical ropiness. [Nov 2018, p.80]

    • 56 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    This is never going to be the game that sets the world alight or is a critical success - but it is far from a cheap cash in like many party games, and might just prove the right direction for Rare's misjudged franchise.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    When a game functions better as a tache-cleaning sim, you know you're in trouble. [Apr 2016, p.91]

    A puzzler homage to Portal that’s arguably better to read than it is to actually play. [Issue#186, p.83]
    • Official Xbox Magazine UK
    • 73 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    How does it manage to be over too soon and still find time to recycle levels? It has to be witchcraft. [Apr 2016, p.92]

    Numerous bugs and frustrating glitches cause Jalopy to stall, splutter and conk out. [Issue#186, p.89]

    • 45 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    It's somewhat understandable that the sequel struggles to find new directions to take the game in, but failing to live up to the original? That's a real crime. [Issue#65, p.93]

    Decent idea, but far too fussy to be fun. [May 2013, p.85]

    A classic, but one best left to history. [Oct 2009, p.95]

    Unrelenting and vicious: this pitiless survival game is not for the easily frustrated. [March 2017, p.83]
    • Official Xbox Magazine UK
    • 62 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Creative, but a long way from divine. [Feb 2010, p.102]

    The real horror is that a great story's been swallowed by a need to scare instead of intrigue. [July 2016, p.83]
    • Official Xbox Magazine UK
    • 71 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    But their utter linearity wears the patina thin as the same ground is covered again and again; the really exciting scenes wilt into mindless reaction games, and even the best part - the fistfights - become stale after a few repetitive bouts.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A strange concept in an evocative landscape that's in search of a better game. [March 2017, p.89]
    • Official Xbox Magazine UK
    • 47 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Flesh and Blood is compelling in its own unhappy way, but this is far from a horror essential. [Issue#67, p.101]
    • Official Xbox Magazine UK
    • 52 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    It's just a bit shallow, and technically flawed with it: the frame-rate is nowhere near as solid as you'd expect from a game that looks only "all right" and the physics system is prone to craziness. Despite all the time in development, it lacks polish. [Feb 2008, p.96]
