    Sumptuous visuals disguise a somewhat lacking and repetitive game. [Issue#266, p.66]

    A major improvement for the series, but there's still not enough to it to warrant a hearty recommendation. [Issue#163, p.94]

    A derivative hack-and-slasher which offers nothing new and does nothing old particularly well. [Issue#213, p.89]

    There are plenty of great concepts lying about the place with The Con, but they haven't been gelled into any kind of coherent game. [Issue#153, p.86]

    SOCOM Confrontation might have been fun about five years ago, but it’s starting to feel very tired these days. Online shooters need to offer either unprecedented depth or a wealth of personality and skill to stand out. But this does neither.

    Very different [from] "Tiger Woods," but this is far from a bad thing. A viable alternative to the franchise. [Issue 144, p.97]

    As exciting to the average gamer as eating an entire loaf of dry wholemeal bread. [Issue#220, p.77]

    Frequent stealth sections stink up an otherwise outstanding sequel. Combat is so good, though, that if you can endure the sneaking, it’s still a bloody good action game.

    Zombies don't automatically make a game good: remember this simple fact. [Issue#189, p.79]

    Second only to "Syphon Filter" in the handheld action stakes, Miami Vice really is a most pleasant surprise. Attractive, enjoyable, with a raft of extras, this is just what a movie license should be. [Issue 144, p.82]

    Yes, it’s pretty short. Yes, it’s pretty linear. But the varied action is great, the visuals peerless and production values off the charts. In terms of a pure showcase for what PS4 can really do, look no further.

    A totally unnecessary expansion that actually adds very little. [Issue#229, p.78]

    What’s really funny about all of this is that WipEout HD is going to be released in September, just a couple of months after Fatal Inertia. Therefore, you may as well just hold off buying a futuristic racer until then.

    It’s good fun, even if it doesn’t feel quite as thrilling as we would have liked. With a little more tweaking of the controls and maybe a new approach to the genre à la Skate, this could have fared much better.
