An awful port of a dismal console game. Buying this would be a crime-in-itself. [July 2005, p.98]

It's as much fun as cycling up the wrong side of the M5. [Sept 2008, p.115]

We can't think of a time throughout the history of the PC when this might have been considered a well-executed title. [Christmas 2006, p.92]

Despite aspirations to intelligence, this is comfortably one of the dumbest first-person shooters we’ve ever come across. The FPS action is stilted, the RPG elements make you want to rip your own still-beating heart out, and the main character sounds a lot like Duke Nukem’s halfwit brother.

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

Messy, clumsy, and deeply unsatisfying beat-'em-up combat. Surpised? Catwoman is a poorly made tie-in game for a rubbish movie. Someone find me a bag and a brick. [Oct 2004, p.96]

More spit than polish. [Sept 2005, p.98]

If you were hoping, like I was, for some old fashioned, arcade dogfighting action, then look elsewhere. [Sept 2007, p.63]

Stunningly terrible. [Jan 2008, p.72]

It wants to be like the classic survival-horror games of old, and to be fair it does feel like it's at least a decade out of date and being played on a 386. [July 2010, p.101]

It makes Doom 3 look like a masterpiece. [Christmas 2009, p.94]

A low-tech and rather uninspiring 2D RTS. [Mar 2008, p.108]

It's just a deeply undeveloped game. [Aug 2004, p.90]

Another dreary RTS to avoid. Ho hum. [July 2006, p.102]

Slightly fun, but only in the most stupid definition of that word. [Sept 2008, p.115]

One of the most incompetent strategy games of recent times. [May 2005, p.104]

A great idea that's failed because of execution. [May 2009, p.96]

Generic online gaming with a single, barely attainable good idea. [Christmas 2006, p.100]

A truly spectacular failure. Long may it live in infamy. [May 2005, p.105]

Epic, steampunk fail. [Aug 2009, p.96]

You're left with Commodore-era finger bruises and PS2-quality graphics, and you don't even get the full complement of Olympic sports. Rubbish. [Christmas 2004, p.122]

A huge, horrible, gut-wrenching car crash, with blood-soaked teddy bears. [June 2005, p.100]

There are a million and one better shooters out there. [Dec 2006, p.118]

Combine all of this with shocking AI, unfair combat and limited ammo, and you're looking at a veritable festival of the mediocre. [June 2005, p.101]

Fill your house with treacle and grenades instead. That's actually more fun. [Sept 2005, p.102]

A perfect storm of cynical derivative design and slipshod implementation. [June 2008, p.102]

The usual amateurish nonsense. [May 2006, p.90]

The driving model is so bad, it makes you wonder if anyone involved has ever been in a car. [Sept 2008, p.117]
