    As dull as the source material. [Issue#170, p.85]

    Maybe one to keep the kids quiet for an hour, but beyond that this is among the more worthless PSP games out there. A laughable idea executed equally pitifully. Cash should not be exchanged for this.

    Neither sim nor out and out arcade shooter, what it is is a bad game. [Issue#217, p.80]

    A mediocre shooter tainted by the dullest of shootouts. [Issue#225, p.78]

    It isn't great, but it's quite a fun distraction and far better than most other movie-games. [Issue#193, p.95]

    With some utterly appalling level design, terrible physics and the aforementioned imprecise controls, Multiverse is one of the worst tie-ins of this generation. [Issue#227, p.78]

    The game will sap you until all that's left is a dry, withered husk. [Issue#162, p.89]

    In achieving immediate accessibility, the game has lost a lot of its depth, meaning you'll be racking up gold medals with little effort. [Apr 2006, p.91]

    It's so obviously a "Micro Machines" rip off that it's just insulting. [Issue 144, p.92]

    As much as we enjoyed Dead Space and look forward to its sequel, this really is a poor effort from Sumo Digital and Visceral Games. [Issue#199, p.103]

    One of the worst ports we've ever played, Risen 3 is a[n] ugly, buggy mess on PS3 that, when added to the awful combat, results in a poor game. [Issue#248, p.72]

    • 35 Metascore
    • 32 Critic Score
    Shellshock 2 combines technical inferiority as a shooter with a woeful attempt at survival horror. It’s kicked around and stomped to death by Call Of Duty and Silent Hill in their respective genres, and is thus left as an entirely useless exercise in gaming terms.
    • 34 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    Genuinely one of the worst games we've ever played. [Issue#231, p.74]

    The stealth sections are quite possibly the worst designed section of any game that we've ever seen. [Issue#215, p.85]

    It's a lazy attempt to make money on a new hardware launch, which utterly ruins the Gundam name. [Issue 148, p.70]

    • 32 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    While nailing a huge combo still feels incredible, the fact that the skill aspect of the game has been massacred by bugs, glitches and poor design makes this throwback difficult to recommend. [Issue#263, p.70]

    Legitimate criticism falls by the wayside here. [Issue#207, p.94]

    • 17 Metascore
    • 24 Critic Score
    Possibly the worst game of this generation. It’s broken, infused with ill-judged and unfunny humour, and devoid of any enjoyable gameplay. You’re better off playing GTA IV while reading Nuts.

    Should serve as a decent diversion until Puzzle Quest's true sequel turns up. [Issue#194, p.103]

    Only the lack of new maps and the fact you can only play on four existing ones lets it down. [Issue#196, p.97]

    While it lacks the depth of the physical game, this is an excellent introduction to Magic: The Gathering. [Issue#202, p.96]

    A very enjoyable take on the classic board game, which is only let down by occasionally laggy online games and an overall lack of objectives to complete. [Issue#202, p.97]

    While they don't bring anything new to the table, they're all brilliant, intricately designed maps. [Issue#203, p.98]

    Best multiplayer maps to date but Call Of The Dead is a huge missed opportunity. [Issue#206, p.98]

    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]

    It will freshen up DC Universe for veterans, but new players should avid it altogether. [Feb 2012, p.81]

    Rubbish, but so bizarre as to be fun. That said, we wouldn't recommend paying real money for this, but if you happen across it in a drainage ditch take it home and play it. [Issue#218, p.81]

    It's a little slow to draw in today's wham-bam crowd, so the score reflects those coming in cold. [Issue#220, p.81]

    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]
