It's great fun while it lasts, but once you've got over the initial thrill of the dogfight, there's not much here to maintain interest. [Sept 2007, p.58]

Doesn't broaden Civ IV's appeal any, but a must-have if you have any Sid Meier love in you. [Oct 2007, p.80]

Not a massive leap forward from Advanced Warfighter, but it's definitely a worthy addition to any tactical shoooter fan's collection. [Aug 2007, p.58]

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

An excellent though rather bland-looking 'copter combat sim. [Sept 2007, p.56]

A textbook - not to mention chastening - exercise in making something inherently fun no fun whatsoever. [Sept 2007, p.60]

Not the groundbreaking action-RPG it's billed as, but sweeping your malevolent minion hordes across the screen is great fun. [Aug 2007, p.54]

Nothing new or genre-shaking on show here, in what is basically a port that's far too short. Give this cold planet the could shoulder. [Sept 2007, p.50]

A comprehensive lesson in how to make a mediocre "GTA" clone. [Oct 2007, p.62]

A surprisingly entertaining and rewarding experience. Amazing, I know. [Sept 2007, p.54]

A thorough and comprehensive sim. [Oct 2007, p.65]

A gloriously pretty and tacticle world to hurl a wide variety of cars around in. It's just a shame I can't share that with friends. [Aug 2007, p.46]

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

There are hidden depths to the game mechanics, but only a dedicated killer will stick with it long enough to plumb them. [Aug 2007, p.50]

Basically it's not a game, it's still just a tech demo, and a pretty unsuccessful one at that. [July 2007, p.64]
