    Renegade's strongest asset...is the way it conveys the feeling of being at ground central in a huge, raging war. [Apr 2002, p.64]

    The worst part is that Sands uses a save-point system - and wouldn't you guess it, save beacons materialize only after you've destroyed every last zombie. [Mar 2004, p.58]

    The game's still a bit too repetitive for its own good, but its single-minded agenda makes it easy to fall for in brief, concentrated bursts. [Mar 2012, p.81]

    Perhaps a bit too divergent from the Final Fantasy formula, but rich characters and spectacular combat still make it an impressive sequel.

    God of War Ragnarök isn't the cleanest sequel, but it leaves Sony's angriest franchise in a great place.

    A smart, blisteringly fun experience at its core, Tekken 7’s limited singleplayer campaign and poor tutorials marr an otherwise resounding win.

    Immortal Throne, which sends you to Hades to interact with numerous heroes and villains from Greek mythology, addresses a number of the most common complaints players had about Titan Quest. [Apr 2007, p.56]

    It was buggy at launch, and remains mildly buggy even after the latest patch(v1.06), but, even so, if you're the least bit into the concept of a band sim, Shady o"Grady is gonna rock your world. [June 2007, p.56]

    Weird, good natured, and pretty funny with it, The Good Life stands apart, like most SWERY games.

    • 79 Critic Score
    A high-concept, fascinating strategy RPG that can start to buckle under its own ambitions.
    • 77 Metascore

    The graphics are lush without being garish, and the music is haunting and evocative. [Mar 2002, p.61]

    Familiar, lightweight but almost impossible to dislike, this is an effortlessly enjoyable action RPG.

    When the inevitable patches and mods do start shipping, Lock On is likely to transform from a stunning but gawky debutante into the Grand Dame of modern flight sims. [Feb 2004, p.82]

    BHD has environmental richness to spare, and lots of flash and thump. [June 2003, p.64]

    Despite all those flaws, Resistance's branching, 20-mission campaign dishes out some of the best gameplay scenarios yet seen in the genre. [Nov 2002, p.110]

    This third Law & Order game is not only the most faithful to the atmosphere of the TV show, but also offers an engaging story. [Jan 2005, p.90]

    Unacceptable bugs and slowdown detract from an otherwise great expansion pack. [Feb 2006, p.36]

    A decent, if unremarkable, cover shooter, elevated by artful scene-setting and memorable set-pieces.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    An entertaining but unambitious sequel that collects up the best features of previous games and adds in some interesting new twists.

    It hurts to see an awesome game in a series I love be diminished by bugs. With some good patching, SFC III will be an excellent game. [Feb 2003, p.64]

    Highly entertaining, substantial and a visual treat but with a slight whiff of Gorgonzola in the story department.

    Not enough of a game to knock "Links" off my leader board. [May 2002, p.77]

    A mean-spirited character leads a big-hearted game; you’re unlikely to dwell on its lore but its features combine well to create a satisfying stealth experience.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    A genuinely enjoyable, gorgeous action-RPG that lacks the storytelling nuance of previous Dragon Age games.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    A beautiful, melancholy action RPG that’s effortlessly stylish and utterly unpredictable.

    Auto Assault's biggest issue mmaay be its lower-than-normal player population at launch. If the world doesn't attract more players, its post-apocalyptic setting may be more appropriate than the developers intended. [July 2006, p.77]
