It's good for fans of the series, but you can get better standalone DLC, or a more satisfying open world. [Issue#253, p.62]

It hits all of its targets accurately enough, but none so dead-on as to be memorable. Mini-games add to the value, but still can't elevate this to anything like an essential purchase. [Issue 144, p.94]

There's just not enough to keep you entertained. [Issue#190, p.65]

The twitchy mechs and boring battles combined with the blandness of the graphics makes For Answer a difficult game to recommend. So we won’t. That section in Metal Gear 4 was more fun than this.

A poor story. [Issue#187, p.82]

A decent effort, but once again it is belittled by the shadow of its console counterpart. [Issue#193, p.98]

So very much like the Lego games before it that it just feels like a palette swap. All the destruction, missiles, and making cannons out of Lego doesn’t seem very Batman-like. Plus Clayface looks like a turd.

It would've been much better it it had conviction and went fully role-playing Lego game. [Issue#244, p.63]

Balletic it ain't. There are plenty of shoot-outs, though, but these see you jumping about like a loon while you wish they would just end. If anything should ever have 'Rental' stamped on it, then this is it. [Issue#159, p.72]

Doesn't offer decent value for money compared to most other PSN games. [Issue#192, p.97]

A bit of a technical mess. [Issue#203, p.86]

A fairly conventional shooter. [Issue#202, p.96]

Looks nice, but lacks anything of substance to carry you through the game. [Issue#208, p.88]

It's fun and it's affordable, but it's short, nowhere near exciting or varied enough, misses the cheap-and-cheerful feel of the previous entries to the series and generally bores where it should entertain. [Issue#208, p.90]

It's the same old trek through the claustrophobic levels, whacking enemies until they disappear. [Issue #151, p.74]

Some people like a challenge but more people don't want to be bloody annoyed by a sticky cube that explodes. [Issue#153, p.84]

Aside from some ramped-up AI, there isn't much depth here to differentiate one match from another. [Issue#212, p.103]

Dreary to look at, grating on the ears and no better than MotoGP 09/10. [Issue#204, p.91]

The story is dull, the locations sparse and empty, and the camera is extremely annoying most of the time. [Issue #147, p.80]

Disappointing. [Issue#200, p.103]

Quire refreshing, but gets boring quickly, never really progressing that far beyond its initial ideas. [Issue#217, p.80]

For the first hour, I Am Alive is the greatest game you've ever played... Unfortunately, the inevitable need to scale up the challenge to keep things interesting exposes the underlying problems. [Issue#217, p.81]

There’s good puzzling to be had, and some engaging stories here, but a lean towards either fictional fun or serious stories would have worked better. And while this was an interesting experiment, we //really// don’t want to see a WWII game presented the same way.

It offers very little that hasn't been seen elsewhere. [Feb 2012, p.81]

Ultimately you're left cursing at almost every turn. [Issue#174, p.88]

If you're a fan of the movie, you could do worse. [Issue#187, p.74]

Although ambitious, Haze is let down by generic gameplay. [Issue#167, p.86]

It doesn't look very nice, gets repetitive going to school every day and killing demons nightly, and "Rogue Galaxy" is still available and better. [Issue#162, p.88]

It's just a rudimentary Grand Theft Auto in bear suits. [Issue#195, p.98]

One of BioWare's weaker DLC efforts. [Issue#205, p.94]

It's a fairly basic FPS that's far too fiddly for its own good. [Issue#202, p.96]

So long as you can get behind the odd handling and the deceptive setup, The Run offers some top-end racing thrills tucked in among some cheap, scripted and downright annoying moments. [Issue#213, p.84]

All the corridors of a Call of Duty, but none of the spectacular set pieces or solid gunplay. [Issue#213, p.88]

The game feels, to all but the most hardcore of Aerosmith fanboys, like a rather cynical cash-in. Zero evolution, minimum effort, maximum profit.

It still plays a great game of hockey but in losing game modes and features that long-term players will miss, NHL 15 on PS4 is pretty hard to recommend to fans. [Issue#249, p.68]

Still compelling, although its age is indicative in the duller hours of its constant battles. [Issue#164, p.95]

Uninspired, boring design with some mildly interesting - but ultimately broken - combat scenarios. [Issue#190, p.75]

While it represents better value than many of the titles it rubs shoulders with in the PlayStation Store, it's too annoying to recommend to anyone without a forgiving, patient and, most importantly, mindlessly trigger-happy disposition. [Issue#165, p.93]

More than anything else it falls foul of not offering enough weight in terms of gameplay modes and AI challenge. [Issue#181, p.84]

A historic game but a flawed puzzler with little to tempt hardcore thinking fans. [Apr 2006, p.113]

While it’s not the game of the film, which would have been one long tutorial, it still manages to be just as bad as most film licenses. Perhaps the game’s shortness is a blessing in disguise.

It's boring enough feeding real pets. [Issue#146, p.83]

The action stages are still great fun, but there's no denying that it is no longer the game it once was. [Issue#198, p.103]

The campaign is short and pretty uneventful, with a completely ignorable story. [Issue#205, p.84]

We're tired of an engine that hasn't seen any reasonable changes in about four years. [Issue#199, p.82]

A huge misstep for a series that has provided a lot of good times over the years. It's oversimplified, boring and leaves the player feeling they're never quite in full control – a Very Bad Thing in the world of Ninja Gaiden.

Most of us will forget WRC 2 even exists in about a week's time. [Issue#211, p.92]

It's not that bad. It's not great, but Bleach is a game that you could happily waste a couple of hours on. [Issue#209, p.94]

Suikoden V doesn't remind us of the past, it reminds us how much games have grown since, which is something this franchise seems intent on not doing. [Issue 145, p.90]

The most vapid, materialistic and all-around terrible representations of humanity we have ever seen. [Issue#203, p.90]

An enjoyable blast from the past, but with no new features or enhancements you'd be better off buying this as part of the Sega MegaDrive Collection. [Issue#210, p.99]

Experimentation is rarely encouraged. [Issue#249, p.70]

Survival-horror fans will probably enjoy Blood Curse’s clumsy mechanics and clichéd setting, especially at this price, but we’re not prepared to excuse it. The flagship title of episodic gaming on the PSN ought to know better.

Piyotama does its best to put a clever and unique spin on a tired format, but its tendency to reward shameless chancing considerably dents its appeal. [Issue#162, p.93]

Dark Sector is plagued not only with mechanical issues but user-unfriendliness. Some exciting battles, atmospheric lighting and mere intrigue for the Glaive can't nearly make up for that, but that's all it has. [Issue#165, p.84]

This does lack the longevity that other PlayStation Network games have and it's likely to be pretty forgettable. [Issue#88, p.89]

Decent towards the end but dull and unsatisfying up to that point. [Issue#242, p.72]

While never truly bad, Bound by Flame is rarely much better than serviceable either. [Issue#245, p.60]

It's not a terrible game, it's just bland, boring and loses the vast majority of factors that made the last game worth playing. [Issue#207, p.90]

It eventually drives the concept into the ground. [Issue#207, p.98]

Does 50 teams for the price of 570 sound like a good deal to you? If it doesn't, then you don't need UEFA Euro 2008. If it does, you also don't need UEFA Euro 2008, you need professional help. [Issue#165, p.90]

It’s a shame the care and attention that Spark has given to the visuals and presentation is quickly squandered by some glaring gameplay errors.

A great-looking scrolling fighter with plenty of bite, but ultimately it's just too sluggish to do its flawed presentation much justice. [Issue#211, p.98]

It is, we have to say, something that feels quite rushed, chopped down or half-hearted. [Issue#199, p.78]

The general lack of polish for such a high price tag is unforgivable. [Issue#203, p.98]

We weren't expecting it, but at some point during our review of Rise of Manhunters we discovered we were actually having fun. [Issue#208, p.93]

As always, one for the dedicated. [Issue#231, p.83]

An interesting story tethered to a frustrating puzzle game. [Issue#215, p.85]

Simply put, the audience for which it was intended will enjoy it. [Issue#194, p.96]

Dumb, violent and pretty dull, this is an old-fashioned back 'n'-slash, with a few odd additions, but not one worth shoulding about. [Issue#161, p.84]

Looks pretty good and re-creates the television show very well, but it’s a boring, repetitive, nonsensical television show. Plus, even hardcore Dragon Ball fans will be disappointed at the rather measly quantity of content.

An annoying little game that plays just well enough for us to nearly forgive the ridiculousness of it. [Issue#139, p.93]

Stunning to look at, but the experience within its gorgeously rendered environments ultimately lacks substance. [Issue#230, p.76]

It's often repetitive, it's customisation mechanic feels tacked on, and it takes a good few hours to come out of its shell, but nail'd eventually emerges as a fun racer. [Issue#201, p.95]

The impossible puzzles to the Loading Gates destroy the enjoyment and leave you feeling more than a tad frustrated. [Issue 143, p.90]

Feels as formulaic as ever. [Issue#204, p.97]

Exactly the same as every other puzzle game ever made. [Issue#190, p.79]

As a reinterpretation of the existing Dead Rising 2 story, Off The Record fails on every level. [Issue#211, p.82]

A pleasant diversion from the vast array of shooters currently available on Sony's service. [Issue#183, p.83]

It’s a great-looking game, thick with atmosphere and brilliant music. Sadly, someone forgot to show as much care to the gameplay, so only fans of the comics and TV series are likely to finish the adventure with much satisfaction.

Fun in short bursts and sometimes exhilarating to navigate the city, but The Amazing Spider-Man is still washed down the spout by the fact that it's dull. [Issue#221, p.74]

The game itself is in need of a good bit of work. [Issue#226, p.82]

A near miss in so many regards, Remember Me's lack of ambition is what ultimately hobbles it - with the balls to go bigger on some of its more original concepts, this could have been something truly special. [Issue#232, p.68]

Provides a decent distraction for a brain that doesn't want to be pressured into thinking at all. [Issue#219, p.73]

The plot is compelling, the visual style is gorgeous, but the combat can't hold up its end of the bargain and sustain excitement. [Issue#219, p.80]

It's improved since the last Potter game, though it's still a bland, plodding adaptation of a beloved series. [Issue#182, p.77]

If only it wasn't so highly priced. [Issue#194, p.103]

Spectacular production values help to make this game enjoyable in the early going, but it soon enough shows that it is painfully lacking in terms of maps and depth in its current form. [Issue#265, p.72]

Action is tactically deep, yet ultimately staccato. [Issue#203, p.87]

A missed opportunity, with Dead Money focusing on mostly the worst aspects of New Vegas. [Issue#203, p.98]

The strength of Bonfire of the Vanities is that all the assassinations are highly challenging. [Issue#191, p.93]

Graphically stunning, dynamically awesome, aurally beautiful. This is what Project Cars could have been if pest control had done a better job exterminating those pesky bugs. [Issue#258, p.66]

The shallow gameplay soon becomes monotonous. [Issue#202, p.97]

Expensive but worth it for nostalgic thrills. [Issue#203, p.98]

It might be time to put this series to bed. [Issue#208, p.82]

Wonderfully realised, atmospheric environments and uninspired, slightly dull shooting combine to create a game just above average. [Issue#231, p.62]

This entry is just not worth bothering with. [Issue#194, p.93]

While it's shackled by its source material and clearly running out of steam, there are nonetheless flashes of brilliance in TT Games' latest Lego adventure. [Issue#267, p.64]
