Much scope for improvement. [Sept 2010, p.89]

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

Exactly like the original, and that's a bad thing. [Dec 2008, p.94]

It's Trials HD, but it's also rubbish. [Dec 2011, p.105]

A sorry mess at the time of launch, but worth persisting with if you’re a series fan. [Issue#184, p.73]

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]

At times, the experience of play manages to feel even more dated than the camp innuendo of the movies...It becomes a begrudging joke, particularly in the stealth sections.

Thoroughly average. [Aug 2007, p.93]

Sugary, sweet and addictive puzzle fun. [May 2008, p.93]

Rubbish. [Oct 2011, p.103]

Without even a two-player mode, this won't last you ten minutes. [Aug 2007, p.103]

Alright by budget standards, but with dodgy controls, cheap AI and buggy Live modes there are far better alternatives. [Aug 2006, p.70]

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.

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.

A large, open world and plenty of options can't make up for trainwreck technology, bad writing and clumsy combat. [Oct 2014, p.93]

With the hilarity of multiplayer locked until you finish the solo missions, and a slightly too-high price, this is one to miss. Shame. [July 2008, p.94]

The game has an admirable variety of modes, from career to arcade to quick play, but with a basic mechanic this crappy, all the variety in the world can't save it. [Feb 2007, p.100]

Sadly, the game's not much fun - you get bored easily and there's not much variety to be had waving your arms up and down. [Dec 2006, p.99]

Fork out 40 quid for Hellboy? Hell no! [Sept 2008, p.90]

Our brains just shut down after a while. [Nov 2009, p.99]

Any Temple Run player will be familiar with the basic premise, and Infinity Runner does little to shake things up – instead delivering trial-and-error gameplay, dodgy production values and repeated.

It's time to stop pedalling this game. [Sept 2012, p.95]

A big-hearted game with some rip-off DLC. [Dec 2008, p.101]

It's tempting to praise Oxygen for tackling the tricky job of turning this pub sport into an enjoyable videogame but instead, all Oxygen proves is why darts is better off as a novelty mini-game rather than the main attraction.

Blood Knights holds as much annoyance as satisfaction. [Christmas 2013, p.103]

Neither monstrous nor jammy, just tedious. [July 2008, p.84]

Overall, it makes for a slightly better game than "Pac-Man" and "Ms Pac-Man," though that's not saying much. [Feb 2007, p.101]

The paper-thin strategy, piss-weak story, and miserable appearance are compounded by an insulting lack of polish.
