While it’s not the game of the film, which would have been one long tutorial, it still manages to be just as bad as most film licenses. Perhaps the game’s shortness is a blessing in disguise.

It's boring enough feeding real pets. [Issue#146, p.83]

The action stages are still great fun, but there's no denying that it is no longer the game it once was. [Issue#198, p.103]

The campaign is short and pretty uneventful, with a completely ignorable story. [Issue#205, p.84]

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

A huge misstep for a series that has provided a lot of good times over the years. It's oversimplified, boring and leaves the player feeling they're never quite in full control – a Very Bad Thing in the world of Ninja Gaiden.

Most of us will forget WRC 2 even exists in about a week's time. [Issue#211, p.92]

It's not that bad. It's not great, but Bleach is a game that you could happily waste a couple of hours on. [Issue#209, p.94]

Suikoden V doesn't remind us of the past, it reminds us how much games have grown since, which is something this franchise seems intent on not doing. [Issue 145, p.90]

The most vapid, materialistic and all-around terrible representations of humanity we have ever seen. [Issue#203, p.90]

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]

Experimentation is rarely encouraged. [Issue#249, p.70]

Survival-horror fans will probably enjoy Blood Curse’s clumsy mechanics and clichéd setting, especially at this price, but we’re not prepared to excuse it. The flagship title of episodic gaming on the PSN ought to know better.

Piyotama does its best to put a clever and unique spin on a tired format, but its tendency to reward shameless chancing considerably dents its appeal. [Issue#162, p.93]

Dark Sector is plagued not only with mechanical issues but user-unfriendliness. Some exciting battles, atmospheric lighting and mere intrigue for the Glaive can't nearly make up for that, but that's all it has. [Issue#165, p.84]

This does lack the longevity that other PlayStation Network games have and it's likely to be pretty forgettable. [Issue#88, p.89]

While never truly bad, Bound by Flame is rarely much better than serviceable either. [Issue#245, p.60]

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]

It eventually drives the concept into the ground. [Issue#207, p.98]

Does 50 teams for the price of 570 sound like a good deal to you? If it doesn't, then you don't need UEFA Euro 2008. If it does, you also don't need UEFA Euro 2008, you need professional help. [Issue#165, p.90]

It’s a shame the care and attention that Spark has given to the visuals and presentation is quickly squandered by some glaring gameplay errors.

A great-looking scrolling fighter with plenty of bite, but ultimately it's just too sluggish to do its flawed presentation much justice. [Issue#211, p.98]

It is, we have to say, something that feels quite rushed, chopped down or half-hearted. [Issue#199, p.78]

The general lack of polish for such a high price tag is unforgivable. [Issue#203, p.98]

We weren't expecting it, but at some point during our review of Rise of Manhunters we discovered we were actually having fun. [Issue#208, p.93]

As always, one for the dedicated. [Issue#231, p.83]

An interesting story tethered to a frustrating puzzle game. [Issue#215, p.85]
