Stuck halfway between the arcade slots and po-faced flight simulation, and in the process takes itself far too seriously. [Oct 2011, p.105]- PC Format

An unexpectedly charming diversion of a game, but one that ultimatey fails to deliver on its early promise. A shame, really. [Apr 2007, p.62]- PC Format
-
- Critic Score
A largely by-the-numbers real-time strategy effort that twinkles but never shines. It's just a little bit too irritating to score highly. [Apr 2007, p.63]- PC Format

Homecoming adds a few small elements to the mix. [Jan 2009, p.100]- PC Format
-
- Critic Score
It's as repetitive and automatic as running in with the shotgun was in Doom 3. This joke isn't funny any more. [June 2005, p.90]- PC Format

Slow progress and lack of originality detract from a fun if bland title. [Aug 2006, p.100]- PC Format

It is engaging, interesting, and definitely a little bit of a break from the norm. [July 2007, p.71]- PC Format

It's not all bad - a few neat touches will bring a tear to old-skoolers' eyes, such as the random random generator for invasion battle odds. It's not enough to wow those spoilt by "Civ IV," though. [Apr 2006, p.95]- PC Format

Solid, but hampered mostly by a terrible lack of depth. [Oct 2006, p.95]- PC Format

Creativity and gags galore, but we’re too close to falling asleep.- PC Format

There are no real uprisings to be found in THe Warchiefs' colonies. [Christmas 2006, p.102]- PC Format

- Critic Score
Stormtroopers shouldn’t be easier to kill than llamas, and Rodians shouldn’t wear hotpants and start dancing in campsites.- PC Format

- Critic Score
Not an unwanted game, just one that's an uninspiring, run-of-the-mill shooter - aside from the lead curving. [June 2009, p.97]- PC Format

I'm convinced that the captain of a supertanker has more to do to shift 350 metres of iron than press cursor keys. [Oct 2007, p.64]- PC Format

We’re left with a terribly flawed gem that catches the light one moment and cuts with a jagged edge the next. We hope the dozens of glitches, bugs and random crashes can be wiped away with a patch.- PC Format

All the freedom in the universe and nothing much to do with it. Prepare for a slog. [Christmas 2005, p.88]- PC Format

Most Puzzle Quest aficionados will quickly end up returning to the original.- PC Format

It's cute in an exploding flatulence kind of way, but the actual gameplay itself is pretty tedious and repetitive. [July 2007, p.70]- PC Format
-
- Critic Score
Great sound and visuals, but unremittingly repetitive gameplay. [July 2006, p.101]- PC Format

There is fun to be found in Infernal, but you have to go through purgatory to find it and even when you get there, it's certainly not my idea of heaven. [Apr 2007, p.71]- PC Format

- Critic Score
It lacks enough of a hook for existing MMORPG fans to sink into, and there’s many, many competing titles that offer a more exciting holiday in the land of orcs, elves and shrieking demons with gold up their bottoms.- PC Format

Accurate rugby, but re-mapping controllers requires fiendish text file editing. [Mar 2006, p.101]- PC Format

- Critic Score
The "Serious Sam" of the "D&D" genre: fast, brutal, and ultimately a teeny bit dull. [Apr 2005, p.100]- PC Format

Even the addition of well animated and suitably menacing dinosaurs can't save this from being a bland, forgettable FPS. [Aug 2008, p.100]- PC Format

There's fun to be had, but it's harder work than it should be - a case of feature overload. [Aug 2004, p.82]- PC Format

Nice ideas, poorly executed in the main. Shows some promise online. [Dec 2005, p.96]- PC Format

Not pretty or that clever, but tykes may find this amusing for a few hours if they're not already hooked up to "The Sims." [July 2008, p.113]- PC Format

- Critic Score
Overall, there’s certainly been an effort made to do something interesting with The Godfather II – an engaging business model has been strapped onto the familiar crime-sim, but with middling results. If you like your games mediocre, dive right in, otherwise heave a little sigh and move on.- PC Format
