    It's still good-ish, just not very enjoyable, which in the scheme of things is probably something of a handicap. [Apr 2006, p.114]

    Counterfeit is standard Payday fare but Undercover is brilliant. [Issue#222, p.81]

    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.

    Not the cleanest port in the world, Hitman HD Trilogy nonetheless brings together three of the most beautifully complex experiences released on the PS2 for reasonable price. [Issue#229, p.76]

    Buckles under the weight of familiarity, irrelevant additions and overlooked flaws. [Issue#212, p.76]

    Hell’s Highway would have been better received had it made its original street date, but the multiple setbacks have caused it to be overtaken by other games. A disappointment to say the least.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Better than the original, but it has many failings of its own. In single-player it can become a slog to battle through, with questionable AI and design choices. [Issue#192, p.73]

    Blessed with slick visuals and exceptionally polished physics, Switchball is let down by empty multiplayer lobbies and ridiculously lengthy load times. [Issue#191, p.93]

    There is no music, no pithy one-liners, just the sombre sound of the wind. [Issue#205, p.86]

    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]

    If it had flawless platforming, reactive bosses, and a tighter difficulty curve, then we'd be head-over-heels for Teslagrad, but as it is, it's just a good little puzzle platformer that often frustrates. [Issue#253, p.66]

    It's simply not a remarkable game. Prototype 2 is good fun – nothing more, nothing less and certainly nothing memorable.

    Deeply flawed, but still very playable. If you can bear the frustrations involved then there’s a compelling plot and ample amount of fun with fire to be had before you’ve even started messing around in the map editor.
