Not enough to warrant the asking price. [Issue#182, p.75]

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

Undeniably funny and entertaining. Too bad it's a dreadful poker game. [Issue#232, p.83]

Vita's black sheep. It's not awful by any stretch of the imagination, but it's difficult to recommend. [Issue#215, p.77]

It's short, dull and looks awful. Avoid. [Issue#184, p.72]

Combos are just a matter of bashing button but you can augment these attacks by using your special moves. [Issue#154, p.82]

If only Arcade mode wasn't rubbish, this would be the complete package. [Issue#160, p.74]

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.

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

A nice little package for those in love with the brand and its heritage, but there are better alternatives out there for pretty much everybody else. [Issue#221, p.79]

Has nearly all of the same gameplay flaws as its predecessor and as such doesn't really represent any kind of step forward. [Issue#196, p.86]

It's messy, and it gets repetitive too. For some, it'll just be headache-inducing. But for those who yearn for quirkiness, this could become a cult hit. [Issue#229, p.82]

While fans will certainly glean some enjoyment, everyone else should steer clear. [Issue#189, p.91]

If you're not a fan of the show then you're probably not interested in feeling like a CTU member. [Apr 2006, p.98]

Shun this bloody awful game. [Issue 141, p.90]

Trials of Topoq is tedious, and you really need floating arms to play it. [Issue#159, p.97]

Good fun and great value....but the graphics are boring and it does get repetitive. [Issue#210, p.99]

In short blasts, it's a real treat. [Issue#172, p.88]

Puzzle fanatics who can tolerate inadequacies in the two disappointing games can find plenty of occupying depth for a rainy day. [Issue#152, p.79]

The same slightly wonky fun we had in the first one, and we mean the exact damn same. [Issue#231, p.66]

Stick with PixelJunk Shooter instead. [Issue#202, p.97]

Those looking for something Carmageddon-shaped to fill a hole in their lives could do a lot worse. [Issue#207, p.99]

Besides gimmicks, the core Frogger gameplay is untouched and thus lacks compelling high-score chases. [Issue#221, p.79]

The real bonus is the range of race types available. [Issue#160, p.96]

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

Just don't play it by yourself. These worms are dumb. [Issue#217, p.81]

Not really worth bothering with. [Issue#216, p.80]

Fracture supplies the recommended dose of excitement, and not a drop more. While its puzzles come close to rescuing matters, that feeling of half-hearted exploration and only just adequate gunplay never quite wears off.

Improvements have been made, but Koei's catering to its market here. [Issue#181, p.85]

Despite the fact that this entry does make some genuine improvements, it fails to innovate enough to save the series. [Issue#252, p.66]

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

The core game mechanics and systems are as solid as ever for the most part, but the game engine is wobbly and the sheer lack of content is just impossible to ignore. [Issue#260, p.70]

There's an engaging narrative here focused on an everyman just trying to do the best job he can, but everything surrounding it is just so disappointing, from the truly awful Akrid to the limp guns and the unbalanced and irritating multiplayer. [Issue#236, p.78]

It's generally below the standard that any self-respecting fan should expect. [Issue#184, p.81]

Occasionally average, but it's mostly dull and problematic. [Issue#157, p.90]

A bold experiment, but one that ends up being a heap of cynical, misguided half-game. [Issue#206, p.86]

Despite all its flaws and its ludicrously over-thought setting, this is actually a pretty enjoyable game. [Issue#198, p.90]

Another showcase for how boring seemingly every idea is thrown at Move. [Issue#213, p.92]

Racing with four pals manages to spark nostalgia perfectly. [Issue 142, p.103]

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]

Unashamedly dated, but still surprisingly addictive and good fun if Warriors games are your bag. [Issue#198, p.95]

It's just too much of a chore and with the Star Wars link tenuous at best, it'd be better if you left this on a shelf far, far away. [Issue 148, p.90]

Generic platforming. [Issue#153, p.68]

A game that's best left on the digital shelf. [Issue#184, p.85]

It's a little pricey, but fans of Monkey Ball will be more than happy with this digital substitute. [Issue#194, p.103]

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.

The ambition of The Crew is commendable, but either the concept is fundamentally flawed or the execution is way off. Either way, this is one race you should enter at your own risk. [Issue#252, p.58]

Feels like a glance into the mind of a perverted otaku, and little more. [Issue#203, p.94]

There's little here to keep you coming back to previously conquered levels beyond your own personal drive. [Issue#199, p.95]

Great fun, if a little throwaway. [Issue#184, p.85]

There are certainly enough challenges and enjoyment on offer to justify the price tag. [Issue#213, p.97]

There's a good game hidden in here somewhere, but believe us when we say it's been buried pretty well and we're pretty sure that it's not going to surface any time soon. [Issue#260, p.72]

The gameplay is depressingly familiar, but it's worth preserving purely for the endless onslaught of gags and rare flashes of innovation on show. [Issue#233, p.74]

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

A platformer that will leave anyone who doesn't remember the original cold. [Issue#234, p.80]

A surprisingly good effort. [Feb 2012, p.83]

A real surprise, in that we actually wanted to keep playing it rather than being forced to for the sake of the review. [Issue#208, p.86]

Irritation, apathy, mild disinterest - just a few things we felt while playing Moon Diver. [Issue#205, p.94]

Utterly avoidable and culturally irrelevant. [Issue#160, p.91]

It's as if Hydravision made a list of all that's tiresome about this genre then carefully made sure not one item on the list was left out of this game. Then added co-op to apologise for it. [Issue#157, p.91]

Another outing for Sonic that has moments of nostalgic brilliance; a brilliance that is sadly marred by some rather questionable tweaks to the gameplay and an annoying AI. [Issue#162, p.95]

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

It's pretty much exactly as we expected. Though that's not a bad thing. [Issue#199, p.92]

Fun and funny, but lowbrow and unambitious on a creative and technical level. [Issue#192, p.84]

A healthy, inoffensive slice of 2D platforming that no developers really bother with these days. Worth picking up if and when it's discounted. [Issue#215, p.85]

An excellent little racer. [Issue#200, p.103]

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]

Another PSN fumble, unfortunately. [Issue#188, p.87]

Ugly, dated and very user-unfriendly. That it arrived in the office the same week as Battlefield: Bad Company only emphasised its inferiority. Bad Company may not be great value, but it is high quality and well tailored to the PS3. This is neither.

Slow, clunky, unresponsive, ugly, stupid and dated. [Issue#198, p.97]

Feels more like an expansion than a genuine innovation. [Issue#207, p.92]

It does look great and arguably has a certain gritty charm, but is severely let down by a combat system that is, frankly, not good enough. [Apr 2006, p.106]

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]

Airtight's debut is an interesting one. [Issue#188, p.78]

Forgettable at best and a massive step backwards for a series that recently impressed so much. [Issue#219, p.70]

It makes you wish Harmonix would release the superb Dance Central on PS3. [Issue#201, p.94]

Boring to play. [Issue#185, p.83]

A better FPS mode, gun and conversion would make a huge difference! [Issue#166, p.94]

The infinite weapons make Heatseeker more fun than "Ace Combat" and the 3D environment makes it less arcadey than After Burner, but it feels like Codemasters couldn't decide which way to take it, and as such Heetseeker sits uncomfortably on the fence. [Issue#153, p.74]

A completely forgettable experience. [Issue 145, p.86]

The worst ending to a videogame ever and a mediocre start aren't enough to ruin one of the better shooters to emerge in years. Barker's influence is something that elevates Jericho, despite its problems, above many other FPSs. A gory treat. [Issue#159, p.80]

If ever proof was needed that the next generation is in the games and not the console, this is it. [Issue#155, p.74]

Sadly it's a little too short with a lack of replay value, but you'd be hard pushed to find a title with better production values on the PSP. [Issue#156, p.85]

It’s an entry-level arcade racer, with a range of fast and destructive events plus an open-world theme and a host of licensed vehicles. Need For Speed Undercover is fun and tailored to suit all tastes.

Not bad enough to be sent for instant, ruthless execution - but certainly not good enough to really bother with. [Issue#212, p.97]

An engaging, if light, co-op platformer. [Issue#226, p.78]

Disappointingly averge and will only appeal to motorbike fanatics. [Issue#172, p.88]

A pale imitation of a good survival-horror game. [Issue#186, p.83]

Horrible linearity. [Issue#146, p.90]

Irritating to the extreme, here is a game that deserves nothing but your complete ignorance. [Issue#139, p.97]

While the single-player is still a waste of time, the multi-player makes up for its shortfalls offering inclusive, challenging gameplay. [Apr 2006, p.92]

It's not exactly scary going on fetch quests for some snooty, snooty wee girls, nor fending off eyeless monkeys with a kitchen knife. [Issue#146, p.92]

Only serious gore fiends need apply. [Issue#200, p.95]

Sub-standard gameplay. [Issue#233, p.78]

It's this lack of imagination in environmental design that takes Killzone down a notch. [Issue#225, p.83]

Ugly and full of bugs, but also quite fun and possessing some good ideas - an interesting start for an MMO. [Issue#231, p.73]

Innovative levels and a great soundtrack. [Issue#155, p.92]

A careful and luscious conversion from the PSP, Lemmings does little to warrant derision. [Issue #151, p.67]
