Incredibly easy, very short. [Jan 2011, p.109]

Bluntly, the problem with EA's Create is in the title. It suggests you'll be creating things, with all the imagination and excitement that implies. Instead, Create feels like Little Big Planet, as copied by a robot that one day hopes to know what love is.

There's so much wrong here, from the Matrix rip-off storyline and painful attempts at imitating "Deus Ex," to the lack of textures and dull levels. [July 2006, p.102]

It makes Doom 3 look like a masterpiece. [Christmas 2009, p.94]

Many other games do this better. Play them. [Sept 2010, p.98]

Completely and utterly pointless. [July 2010, p.100]

It wants to be like the classic survival-horror games of old, and to be fair it does feel like it's at least a decade out of date and being played on a 386. [July 2010, p.101]

Is there a form I can fill in to get these hours of my life back? [Feb 2010, p.95]

It wasn't fun. [Jan 2010, p.93]

Ultra-generic. [Dec 2009, p.99]

At times, it feels like "Dead Ringers the Game," with a load of people doing not-quite accurate impressions while looking rather unlike the real actors. [Sept 2009, p.98]

Epic, steampunk fail. [Aug 2009, p.96]

Appealing alterna-stealth undone by trying to be all things to all men. Specifically, the sexually frustrated teenage ones. [July 2009, p.93]

Plodding, bland fair. [July 2009, p.95]

This game is a shameful dismantling of an iconic (though possibly equally shameful) gaming figure. [June 2009, p.101]

Genuinely uninteresting racing. [July 2009, p.94]

Five years ago it might have been average. [June 2009, p.100]

A great idea that's failed because of execution. [May 2009, p.96]

Tolkien must be revolving speedily in his grave. [Apr 2009, p.48]

Web of Shadows aims for a sandbox GTA-style open environment, but has neither the verve, nor the technical ability to pull it off. [Jan 2009, p.101]

How the hell does such a simple system manage to be this fiddly? [Feb 2009, p.100]

The driving model is so bad, it makes you wonder if anyone involved has ever been in a car. [Sept 2008, p.117]

Slightly fun, but only in the most stupid definition of that word. [Sept 2008, p.115]

It's as much fun as cycling up the wrong side of the M5. [Sept 2008, p.115]

The only thing you'll be smashing if you buy this game is the area surrounding your PC. It really is truly offensive. [Sept 2008, p.114]

One of the worst adventures I've ever played. [Sept 2008, p.116]

A PS2 port, when there's an Xbox 360 version? This is a dreadful example of shameless corner cutting and an awful game. [Aug 2008, p.107]

Every bit as boring as it should have been awesome on toast. Button mashing, blandness, and dodgy controls. Zzzz. [Aug 2008, p.105]
