With the lack of a more complex skill development system, I found the clicky happy combat became repetitive fairly quickly. [May 2007, p.69]- PC Format

Unquestionably the most impressive thoroughly mediocre game you'll play this year - but hardly a religious experience. [Nov 2005, p.98]- PC Format

It's designed to be more cerebral than current RTS war titles, and can't match the visceral thrill of "Rome" or even "Medieval Total War." [May 2005, p.102]- PC Format

It's the presentation and numerous glitches that let it down. [June 2010, p.101]- PC Format

It's a one-trick pony, sure, but at least it's innovative and fun...Fun, but neat physics offset drab visuals. [Sept 2006, p.104]- PC Format

The enemy AI is slow to react, your character is slow to move. [July 2005, p.98]- PC Format

- Critic Score
A mildly diverting shooter that's more concerned with telling its story than retaining the interesting aspects of the original. [Aug 2009, p.92]- PC Format

A step too far in EA's attempts to make the franchise print more money. [Sept 2007, p.62]- PC Format

The puzzle elements are more like extremely simple exercises that you have to complete, rather than challenging problems that need solving, and the same is sadly true for the strategy.- PC Format

A competent, if soulless, city builder with delusions of grandeur. [Christmas 2009, p.90]- PC Format

This is the fifth incarnation of a Lego license game and it hasn't moved on. [Feb 2010, p.94]- PC Format

Diplomacy, sea battles, trade, construction - it's all here, but sadly it never quite gels to fulfill East India's potential. [Oct 2009, p.96]- PC Format

So nearly entertaining, but the controls are just too crummy. [March 2005, p.96]- PC Format

There’s little new that stands out in Icewind Dale II to recommend it. There's a lacks the style and emphasis on story that characterises the genre’s best.- PC Format

There is amusement to be found here, for those with low expectations. [Oct 2005, p.91]- PC Format

A big disappointment after a promising preview. Far too simplistic and generic to hold anyone's attention for any length of time. [Oct 2008, p.104]- PC Format

Ditch your standards and enjoy shaping a mediocre world to your will. [Dec 2006, p.105]- PC Format

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]- PC Format

Offers much of the pleasures of the original...and yet nothing has really been improved. [Sept 2007, p.62]- PC Format

This is an expansion pack for Dungeon Siege II, and little else. [Oct 2006, p.96]- PC Format

Christ on a bike, though, it's ugly. I mean like school bus traffic accident ugly. [June 2007, p.52]- PC Format

- Critic Score
Poor controls and too much reliance on trial and error in order to progress within the game. Hacking up the zombies is good fun, though. [Sept 2008, p.102]- PC Format

The main problem though is that this one features too much aimless wandering, and nothing like enough danger or excitement. [Mar 2008, p.109]- PC Format

Were NecroVision to turn up on Steam for less than a tenner, then it'd be worth considering. [Apr 2009, p.99]- PC Format

Despite its fantastic visualisation of Wonderland, repetitive gameplay means it fails to muster a chortle. [Sept 2011, p.100]- PC Format

While certainly more approachable than its US Election themed follow-up "Political Machine," TCM is a much older game and really doesn't have the same smoothness or fun value. [March 2005, p.113]- PC Format
