    When a game is this gripping, who cares about a slightly cranky engine? [May 2006, p.91]

    It's a good representation of the sport, but "Pro Evolution Soccer 5" is still the benchmark for all PC football games. [June 2006, p.93]

    Unfortunately all the flaws from the original are still glaringly omnipresent - from the awkward mouse cursor to the tedious mini-games. [June 2006, p.96]

    Engrossing - if you enjoy building things, this is a must. [Sept 2006, p.104]

    It's primary objective isn't to engage you as a gamer; it's to engage you as a human being. And that makes it worth your time. [June 2006, p.90]

    • 73 Critic Score
    It's picking the wrong fight - taking on MMOs on their own turf, instead of truly daring to be something different. It tries. Often it succeeds. Just not enough to stop the sound of its stalling engine ringing as loud as the gunfire. [June 2006, p.92]

    This game is most definitely not one for the faint-hearted; the sheer scale of the beast is truly something to behold. [May 2006, p.97]

    • 84 Critic Score
    A silent and deadly change from the usual WW2 percussion. Refreshing. [Mar 2006, p.98]

    Leaves little up to the player apart from pulling the trigger. Repeatedly. [May 2006, p.96]

    Cute, weird, and very addictive. [Aug 2006, p.105]

    Worth a look for those who remember when shooters were tough (and own a good controller). [Aug 2008, p.109]

    More expansion pack than full game, without the same level of challenge. [June 2006, p.89]
    • PC Format
    • 65 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    Photogenic arcade action lacking in any real long-term appeal. Wafer thin. [May 2006, p.94]

    • PC Format
    • 94 Metascore
    • 93 Critic Score
    The 21st Century's finest, most involving roleplaying game so far. [May 2006, p.85]
