Not awful, but there's not enough crack in the world to choose it over "GTA." [Christmas 2006, p.101]

As before, there's nothing here that's massively wrong, but nothing exactly right either, and in particular, nothing that "Diablo" didn't do just as well. [July 2005, p.99]

The game itself is too lightweight to stand much repeating, leaving two possible outcomes: you'll become a paranoid conspiracy theorist, or get bored, shoot the driver, and watch them all perish in the resulting crash. [Feb 2005, p.93]

It's a mix of disappointment at missed opportunities, and general boredom because of the stagnation of ideas. [Feb 2008, p.112]

A bad trip down memory lane - this is the FPS circa 1996 incarnate. [July 2006, p.95]

Brazen plagiarism it may be, but this shooter is a worthy tribute to its forebears. [Nov 2006, p.103]

It's certainly not worth more than a third of the asking price. [Apr 2008, p.115]

It's a better game than last month's "Moai Better Blues," if only because the ever insufferable Bosco is missing in action. [Apr 2008, p.113]

Good ideas buried under several layers of below par execution. [Christmas 2005, p.101]

Diverting mob brutality, but nothing like the films, and downright ugly. [May 2006, p.95]

A bit like listening to Radio 3. [Aug 2008, p.107]

Watch a Bourne movie instead. [Aug 2010, p.95]

A bit like Paul Daniels, its magic is only really going to work on the kids. [Aug 2004, p.86]

So, there are short bursts of charm, interspersed with long sections of tedium. [Dec 2005 p.89]

Reasonably entertaining space-shooty madness. [Dec 2004, p.104]

It's completely let down by the actual developers. [Feb 2010, p.94]

Bad translation... If you can speak German, get the native version. [July 2010, p.100]

Mindless hack-n-slash nonsense, in a very pretty world. [Jan 2009, p.98]

Fails to be what it sets out to be – a game. But still manages to be a charming journey for anyone with plenty of patience.

The puzzles aren't that bad either, gently ramping up from fairly easy to mentally taxing. [Oct 2008, p.114]

There is little new here that would make you choose this over the demonstrably superior games from Creative Assembly. [July 2007, p.72]

An ordinary platformer that struggles with expectations.

Just another game MIA in the jungles of Vietnam. It's adventure, but just not adventurous enough.

It's the same old game with prettier graphics and a half-decent story. Settlers-heads will love it, but best wait for it to appear on budget. [Nov 2007, p.52]

With the combat interminably dull and the story unintelligibly delivered, this isn't the triumphant return of the space shooter we'd hoped for. [Dec 2007, p.62]
