    It's not beautiful, it's not that long, but it's spooky and well worth a look. [Apr 2007, p.71]

    It offers niether anything to be passionate about or that's worthy of a vicious shoeing. [May 2008, p.98]

    A robust addition to a titan of real-time strategy that plays well on PCs. But it's past time for Dawn of War 2 now. [May 2008, p.108]

    There are still bugs and little really new on offer here. [Feb 2011, p.108]

    • 72 Critic Score
    It's the sci-fi game for RTS fans who found "Dawn of War" a little too streamlined. A game by fans for fans, but few others. [Sept 2005, p.90]

    • 59 Critic Score
    Ostensibly worthy, but fundamentally uninspiring – the only value is the size.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A huge number of options, but the graphics are dated and the sound effects are monotonous.

    Here, kids get varied and frequently updated missions goals and plenty of welcome help. [Sept 2005, p.98]

    There's no heart in the design. It's a beautiful world with enjoyable characters and it's engaging for a while, but it runs out of ideas way too soon to be any lasting fun. [Jan 2005, p.89]
    • 72 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    A welcome mutation, but not as evolved as you’d think.
    • 72 Metascore

    Mildly engaging. [May 2009, p.97]

    The best attempt yet at merging action gaming and MMOs, and a dream come true for comic fans of all ages. [Mar 2011, p.102]
    • 72 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    There's fun to be had, but it's harder work than it should be - a case of feature overload. [Aug 2004, p.82]
    • 72 Metascore
    • 53 Critic Score
    Great premise, but as fun to spend spend time with as a freshly exhumed corpse. [Mar 2006, p.102]

    Even with this variety, Rainbow Six is starting to feel decidedly over-familiar and all its flaws, from the flat combat to the flat graphics and utterly unconvincing AI, are very much in evidence.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    One of the most rewarding games around for the devout strategist, but those less experienced will find it hard to get started, and may get disheartened by the obstacles.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    A good game, but a little slight. [Jan 2010, p.93]

    Rough enough around the edges to replace sandpaper. [Jan 2009, p.100]

    It’s loaded with replay value, given the enormous number of permutations involved, and for those who can deal with it, it will turn out to be massively rewarding.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    Lengthy, clever, and gripping. It's nice to have a decent point and click adventure around. It's been too long. [Oct 2011, p.105]

    • 72 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    Crazy-arse shooting with its brain in its arse, and a mean streak.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It looks spectacularly awful. [Apr 2007, p.71]

    • 72 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    Fast, fun, and tasteless, but too many misfires to make it a winner. [Christmas 2004, p.108]

    The goals are satisfying, but there's nothing new. [Dec 2006, p.108]

    • 85 Critic Score
    Lead by a strong storyline, cinematically presented and punctuated with countless chunky explosions, it's only held back by the fact that it's over quite quickly. [Nov 2005, p.89]

    Most Puzzle Quest aficionados will quickly end up returning to the original.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    As an accompaniment to school projects, Wild Earth is a worthwhile title, but as a game for your little 'uns it's unlikely to be long before they're begging for a quick round of "Quake." [May 2007, p.67]
