The most perverse thing though is that the most enjoyable moments have little to do with Tokien or his wonderfully overactive imagination; it's much more to do with Turbine's ability to knock out a compelling MMO experience. [June 2007, p.56]- PC Format

Looks great, but not quite as full of variety as you might expect from NYC. [Mar 2006, p.92]- PC Format

This prison lies in a qualitative limbo. The monsters are gorgeous bundles of slime and metal; the atmosphere is dense and layered; it can, on occasion, give you real heebie jeebies. [Aug 2004, p.85]- PC Format

The game’s combat system is competent and fiercely enjoyable for fans of the ‘quick, kill that heavily armed hotelier’ genre.- PC Format

Just don't blame us for the clumsy controls, dodgy camera angles and ultra-frustrating gameplay. [Sept 2006, p.104]- PC Format

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]- PC Format

Solid and full of promise, but it never quite delivers the goods. [Christmas 2006, p.96]- PC Format

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]- PC Format

- Critic Score
A classic case of overreaching, with a few too many stats-based irons in the fire, rather generic RTS elements and hugely clunky flight simulation. [Aug 2007, p.61]- PC Format

It's simply a tale of new areas and new monsters to left-click on with whatever over-powered kill-stick you have in your inventory. [Apr 2007, p.66]- PC Format

Misses a few crucial tricks which could have given it greater mass appeal. [Mar 2006, p.97]- PC Format

Evolution doesn't happen, according to this particular history book. [Dec 2005, p.98]- PC Format

Defense Grid is fun while it lasts, but won't last you very long. [Feb 2009, p.101]- PC Format

To damn it with faint praise, this is the world's greatest fire-fighting RTS. [May 2005, p.99]- PC Format

There's a well-crafted basketball game here for the fans. [Dec 2006, p.108]- PC Format

Impressive as the scale and visuals are as a technical achievement, the game itself is little more than a hollow shell. [Aug 2009, p.90]- PC Format

Offers great weapons, a great destruction model...and not enough ways to have fun with them. [July 2011, p.94]- PC Format

A disappointing, mediocre shooter at best and a frustrating swear-a-thon at the very worst. I can't honestly recommend it. [Jan 2008, p.66]- PC Format

Tragically, we lost a man. Attempting to play World at War, very sadly, he died of the most painful kind of boredom. [Nov 2005, p.100]- PC Format

An elaborately realised world, with too little interaction to be truly great. [Oct 2007, p.60]- PC Format

Daft idea, but the basic game does all you'd wish for. [Apr 2005, p.113]- PC Format

While Thrillville is decent, disposable fun for kids, anyone in their teens will want more depth. [Christmas 2007, p.68]- PC Format

The visuals have lost their lustre in the transition from 2D. Instead of being the studious girl who had her own style who you always fancied, it’s turned into the bubble gum-chewing underachiever who, when she opens her mouth, spouts the worst kind of gutter drawl.- PC Format
