    Despite the fact that this entry does make some genuine improvements, it fails to innovate enough to save the series. [Issue#252, p.66]

    The core game mechanics and systems are as solid as ever for the most part, but the game engine is wobbly and the sheer lack of content is just impossible to ignore. [Issue#260, p.70]

    There's an engaging narrative here focused on an everyman just trying to do the best job he can, but everything surrounding it is just so disappointing, from the truly awful Akrid to the limp guns and the unbalanced and irritating multiplayer. [Issue#236, p.78]

    A bold experiment, but one that ends up being a heap of cynical, misguided half-game. [Issue#206, p.86]

    Despite all its flaws and its ludicrously over-thought setting, this is actually a pretty enjoyable game. [Issue#198, p.90]

    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]

    Unashamedly dated, but still surprisingly addictive and good fun if Warriors games are your bag. [Issue#198, p.95]

    It's just too much of a chore and with the Star Wars link tenuous at best, it'd be better if you left this on a shelf far, far away. [Issue 148, p.90]

    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.

    The ambition of The Crew is commendable, but either the concept is fundamentally flawed or the execution is way off. Either way, this is one race you should enter at your own risk. [Issue#252, p.58]

    There's a good game hidden in here somewhere, but believe us when we say it's been buried pretty well and we're pretty sure that it's not going to surface any time soon. [Issue#260, p.72]

    The gameplay is depressingly familiar, but it's worth preserving purely for the endless onslaught of gags and rare flashes of innovation on show. [Issue#233, p.74]
