Sega Superstars Tennis makes banal use of Sega's heritage, and abandons the explosive creativity that Sumo was once associated with. [Issue#165, p.92]

It's a boring, sad affair that'll just turn kids off the books. Rubbish. [Issue#155, p.86]

A hollow, morbidly generic, barely functional game. [Issue#163, p.84]

It's simply not worth 7.99. [Issue#88, p.89]

The real-time mechanic just descends into button hammering. [Issue#158, p.94]

An entertaining puzzle game. [Issue#186, p.87]

It's a solid enough action title, but there's little variety on offer, which was also true of the arcade original. [Aug 2008, p.104]

Wheelman is a dark horse; way more fun than we’d anticipated, but nevertheless lacking in the final layer of sheen that we expect for the increasingly meaningful financial layout.

The automatic combat is a mixed blessing with all the easy random battles going on, but linearity of the story holds it back. [Issue 142, p.96]

Not only is it boring, but it's dodgy as hell. [Issue#221, p.81]

An insufferably boring platformer unworthy of attention. [Issue #150, p.91]

Ubisoft could have put more effort in than this if it wanted to pay a real fitting tribute. [Issue#205, p.90]

It's often repetitive, it's customisation mechanic feels tacked on, and it takes a good few hours to come out of its shell, but nail'd eventually emerges as a fun racer. [Issue#201, p.95]

As a game for XIII’s downtrodden fans, Lightning Returns is excellent. It fleshes out the interesting world, gives each of the cast a little more screen time without singling any out as more or less important (well, except Lightning) and brings an extremely stupid story to an extremely stupid conclusion in style. And the haters? They’re gonna hate, clearly. That’s kind of their thing. But this isn’t a game for them. No, it’s a reward for those bold enough to be of the apparently controversial opinion that Final Fantasy XIII wasn’t awful. And a fine reward it is too, so long as you don’t go into it expecting a traditional Final Fantasy experience.

A waste of time once you've mastered the strike technique. [Issue#163, p.86]

Perfectly decent. [Issue#186, p.80]

It's improved since the last Potter game, though it's still a bland, plodding adaptation of a beloved series. [Issue#182, p.77]

A tour de force in vapidity. [Issue#156, p.92]

With four-player support, you could do a lot worse than Slam Bolt Scrappers. [Issue#204, p.97]

Boring within minutes. [Issue#221, p.75]

It's just a shame that it suffers from a general lack of polish and some really questionable controls. [Issue#196, p.97]

A surprising turn for the Super Monkey Ball franchise. [Issue#224, p.77]

There's not a great deal to it but even so, Destiny of Spirits still manages to be an addictive social RPG. [Issue#244, p.70]

A great take on a traditional game. [Issue#181, p.89]

Inoffensive, shallow, sometimes fun but nothing that will engage over a long period of time. [Issue#213, p.92]

A good game, but poorly converted. [Issue#230, p.74]

More than anything else it falls foul of not offering enough weight in terms of gameplay modes and AI challenge. [Issue#181, p.84]
