Thoroughly average. [Aug 2007, p.93]

Fluid and uniquely told. A classic reborn. [Aug 2007, p.102]

Another failed idea is the ability to pick up items littering the different districts and use them as weapons. [June 2007, p.93]

Sloppy effort. Such as disappointment. [Sept 2007, p.104]

More old than wild wild west. [Aug 2007, p.98]

Great to look at and the new mazes rock. [Aug 2007, p.103]

Certainly not a game for anyone expecting a challenge or long-term entertainment. [Oct 2007, p.86]

It IS "Micro Machines," right down to the dinky size of the cars and power-up based racing buffoonery. [Aug 2007, p.101]

The car handling is incredibly complex and varied, and the superb modding Garage lets you tweak handling beyond belief - but only if you want. [July 2007, p.88]

In terms of graphics, in terms of variety, in terms of accessibility, it’s a failure on both 360 and PC. Overall, we’re coming down on the side of foolhardy over brave.

Senko No Ronde can be amazing to watch, but it simply doesn’t make enough effort to make itself intelligible to a Western audience and there’s not enough variety in the gameplay, despite the selection of combatants. We can see the parallels with rounders immediately.

One for hardcore collectors only. [Aug 2007, p.101]

Score whores will be entertained for a while. [Aug 2007, p.100]

A scabby swab that plumbs the depps. [July 2007, p.100]

Plenty of modes, but still overpriced. [Aug 2007, p.100]

Shrek the turd, more like. [Sept 2007, p.106]

The end fight where you have to plug every single enemy and boss before facing the unfairly tough villain is the stuff of legends...Co-op play is essential if you want to finish the game. [Feb 2007, p.100]

It’s strategically strong, with custom setups, objectives and teams available. The ten or so maps are, as always, well balanced though uninspired, and the AI can be a beast – humans even tougher.

A lack of development time this time round is surely the only possible explanation for the game’s unfinished feel...There’s a fantastic title in there, one that Treyarch has obviously worked hard on, but we can’t help but feel it’s a case of embarrassing premature web-ejaculation.

The minimal animation style underscores that this is the deepest strategy and most hardcore game on Live Arcade, if not on the Xbox 360. [Jan 2007, p.96]

It's all very limited and mind-numbingly repetitive - but the game's also challenging. [July 2007, p.105]

Eets has got the glee of design that made Worms and Alien Hominid exciting and unpredictable, without the violence. [June 2007, p.96]

A great pinball sim let down by limited tables. [June 2007, p.97]

A decent enough game with a crazy design and the best Xbox Live Vision Camera integration yet, but with a rabbit-sized lifespan. [June 2007, p.90]

A solid enough minigolf game; good for a laugh. [June 2007, p.95]

A dated and repetitive shooter. [July 2007, p.105]

The sad thing about BBR is the lack of variety. [June 2007, p.97]

Another competent ball-matching puzzler. [July 2007, p.104]
