The AI has some dumb moments. Several enemies remained inactive until I'd shot them three times. [Sept 2007, p.70]

It's perhaps not in the same league as "Children Of The Nile" in terms of depth and complexity, but it certainly has its won sedate charm. [Sept 2006, p.80]

More Tufnell than Warne. [Nov 2009, p.74]

The menu system is a confusing mess. [June 2009, p.73]

If you own the first, then there's little reason to upgrade. [Apr 2010, p.90]

It's not really doing anything groundbreaking. [Dec 2007, p.76]

Right now, Star Trek Online is a mess of a title with little to recommend beyond the novelty of flying around in a replica of the Enterprise. As soon as that novelty wears off (ideally within the 30-day trial period), this will be one universe badly in need of a reboot.

A boring game. [Aug 2009, p.72]

Something about Granado Espada is fiendishly addictive. What stops it from being truly great is the fact that it's both simple and rather boring at times. [Oct 2007, p.83]

A decent strategy offering. [Oct 2010, p.81]

The puzzles are the main problem. [May 2010, p.90]

Considering the budget price, you could do a lot worse on your quest to find an original adventure game this summer. [Oct 2008, p.65]

Gets boring quickly. [Feb 2009, p.82]

It can be good fun when you've got the hang of things. [Feb 2009, p.81]

Adds nothing new to the genre and the game world itself isn't very large. [Jan 2007, p.74]

Provides a simple, but pleasing action experience, with a refreshingly polished veneer. [Dec 2009, p.74]

Granted, there's potential aplenty here, but with AI this idiotic, Legion Arena can only go down as a massively missed opportunity, more fit for the glue factory than the glories of war. Shame really.

Two Worlds isn't a masterpiece, but it is entertaining. It's deep. [Nov 2007, p.78]

It's terribly inconsistent and feels like a shooter from the last century. [Aug 2008, p.74]

With patience and perseverance there's plenty of reward. [Oct 2008, p.72]

A series of spectacularly presented levels. [Feb 2010, p.68]

A massive improvement on "Cossacks" and its kin, and it's a real pleasure to play. [Nov 2006, p.86]

Apart from the amount of content, things haven't moved on very much since the 2004 version. A few nips and tucks here and there, refined content controls, better tutorials and a slight expansion of the simulation 'rules' to make driving your choochoos a touch harder, but otherwise it all looks much the same as before.

A few performance issues mar an otherwise fun little racer. [Aug 2010, p.87]

I can't deplore enough how little story there is. [Apr 2009, p.66]

Frustrating controls. [July 2009, p.70]

One of the better games from the consistently recommended franchise. [Dec 2007, p.80]

It's just not good enough to warrant shelling out for both this and the original. And that is the real problem. [Apr 2008, p.70]
