    Like the film this will keep you amused for a good hour and a half but not a lot more. [Issue 142, p.94]

    Not a great opening salvo from Tiger's new challenger, but impressive Move implementation means it's one to watch in the future. [Issue#197, p.96]

    Old, safe, and completely uninspired, Untold Lgends is only saved from the humiliation of being the worst of the launch games by its plodding competence. [Issue 148, p.86]

    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]

    While it's not great there's something about it, the story and the levelling-up mostly, that draws you in so you might eventually finish it. [Issue#139, p.70]

    The Move controls work fairly well...but such a blatant Wii port shouldn't be full price and won't impress serious PS3 gamers. [Issue#199, p.97]

    Fans of the series should be prepared for a fight if they want to get the most out of the game. [Issue#139, p.75]

    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.

    The plot is compelling, the visual style is gorgeous, but the combat can't hold up its end of the bargain and sustain excitement. [Issue#219, p.80]

    Due to a hit-and-miss control system and lack of personality, Rocky Balboa is more fumbling foal than Italian Stallion. [Issue #150, p.87]

    A humdrum shooter that runs on unabashed machismo and is completely devoid of imagination. [Issue#231, p.68]

    It's a great game but King of Fighters Neowave needs you to invest in alternative control scheme more than any other PS2 fighter to date. Do that and you've got a brilliant fighting game. [Issue 143, p.96]

    Solid, but ultimately very repetitive and dull crime caper. [Issue#154, p.84]

    Oddly, though, it's still a little better than Dynasty Warriors 6. But that's like saying diarrhoea for four days is better than diarrhoea for five days. [Issue#204, p.87]

    A host of intriguing ideas are severely undermined by weak presentation and far too many bugs. With another six months and an increased budget, Rise Of The Argonauts could have fulfilled its obvious promise.

    It's also little more than a glorified back catalogue and the PS Vita launch line-up is stuffed to the point where this is almost entirely redundant. Unless you really like Beat It. Taptap!

    While it represents better value than many of the titles it rubs shoulders with in the PlayStation Store, it's too annoying to recommend to anyone without a forgiving, patient and, most importantly, mindlessly trigger-happy disposition. [Issue#165, p.93]

    For some, the idea of fighting through repetitive levels will be just that: a slog. [Issue#229, p.82]
