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

    Evades repetition with considerable grace. [Issue#172, p.93]

    Whilst playing it on the hardest difficulty seems pointless to anyone but the most hardened of fans, the game has seen a significant hike in quality and fun since the last one. It's just the balance of the difficulty that isn't quite right. [Issue #150, p.76]

    Not A Hero tries so hard to be irreverent that it hurts, but, in the grand scheme of things, the game is still fairly fun. Just don't be astounded if it fails to hold your attention for long. [Issue#267, p.76]

    With a lengthy quest and an in-depth experience point system it manages to sit on its very own, special throne. [Issue 148, p.89]

    A poor sequel to an already-poor game, though with far nicer graphics. [Issue#185, p.82]

    Don't let the license fool you: this is actually an enjoyable racing game that will appeal to all. [Issue#208, p.92]

    • 75 Critic Score
    A fresh direction for combat flight, focused more heavily on all-out action, thanks to simplicity of control and an insane story. Thoroughly entertaining, if a little brainlessly so. But then, a little fun never hurt anyone.

    It's not worthless and there's actually some fun to be gleaned from it. [Issue#217, p.79]

    It's another NFS game which means you know exactly what to expect before peeling the cellophane off. That doesn't mean it's bad though. [Issue #147, p.84]

    Far more interesting than it first appears. [Issue#208, p.98]

    The building your own mech aspect is good enough, but the rest of the game is let down by the shallowness of the twee characters, unwieldy combat and simple plot. [Issue 143, p.92]

    Bugbear adheres to everything that makes the franchise stellar, rather than trying to break any new ground. [Issue#158, p.84]

    It's just that - a racing sim. Which for the most part means it's lonely and dull as you fight corners. [Issue#139, p.98]

    Entering the ring with a lot to prove, the development team has been both daring and dynamic in its approach. Despite a few glitches, Yuke's has produced a game that can more than hold its own with the quality "SmackDown" games of old. [Issue#159, p.66]

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

    There are stacks of stages, plus loads to unlock too - perfect for those looking for something different to fill their gaming lulls. [Issue#184, p.80]

    It's still a neat little package, though, offering everything you need from a portable brawler. [Issue#197, p.96]

    With some crazy fun online elements and a badass sense of actual achievement, Dying Light is the zombie game we've been working for. Just mute those terrible voices. [Issue#254, p.64]

    The Power Stone games have always been about grossly over-the-top, exaggerated, and unashamedly indulgent bar-room style brawling. They are, to be blunt, insane, but the good kind of insane. [Issue 145, p.77]

    A fitting tribute to the PS2 classic, albeit on that will struggle to hold the attention of those without solid rhythm action skills or fond memories of the original. [Issue#266, p.64]
