    Fun and a solid challenge, but lacking in some respects, showing its age, sometimes unfair and with pointless Vita-specific controls. [Issue#217, p.81]

    Combines excellent tech with first-class production values to create a really splendid Christmas toy. [Issue#226, p.80]

    A stealth title with good ideas that help it stand out from other titles, Republique also tells a compelling story until it all falls apart in its terrible fourth episode. [Issue#268, p.78]

    It just isn't any fun. The diving and the multiplayer are amusing for a short time, but after that you'll be left wondering why you didn't buy "Pro Evo 5" instead. [Issue 142, p.95]

    If it wasn't for the improved gameplay additions, we'd say the first title was the better one. [Issue#181, p.82]

    While the trailer might have been a case of style over substance, the final game is the polar opposite. [Issue#210, 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.

    The multiplayer outweighs the single-player but having to look up and down with the face buttons means that you'll never be the crack-shot you can be with a second analogue stick. [Issue #147, p.78]

    A great add-on with an entirely new character to learn, Vergil's Downfall might not set the world alight with storytelling or environmental design, but the core combat is still so fantastic that this is well worth a look. [Issue#230, p.79]

    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]

    Its skillful mix of old-school platforming and 3D gameplay is unique enough to set it apart from the competition, just don't expect to be totally blown away. [Issue#179, p.74]

    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]

    Monster Hunter still wins out in terms of depth and variety, but Omega Force manages to nail so many of the other elements that make Capcom’s game so satisfying. And since Capcom is busy sleeping with the enemy, we have no hesitation whatsoever in heralding Toukiden as the best Monster Hunter game on Vita.

    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]
