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

    Dungeon Hunter: Alliance is a bland port of a bland game doing bland things on an exciting system. Nothing else to see here. Move along.

    A pale imitation of a good survival-horror game. [Issue#186, p.83]

    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]

    You'll not learn anything by buying this, except maybe not to buy rubbish puzzlers in the future. [Issue 141, p.104]

    A crushing disappointment for those who thought Sonic had finally found his feed in 3D. Uncontrollable, twitchy, awkward and confused, this game will kill off all hope of there being another decent Sonic outing ever again. [Issue # 149, p.66]

    The Incredible Hulk initially delivers a suitably destructive experience, but the novelty soon disappears. Samey missions stretch the premise to breaking point, while a rushed game engine shows flaws early on, making it hard to recommend.

    It’s clear what has happened here, Pandemic was chosen to make a Lord Of The Rings Dynasty Warriors game, but it messed it up even more than if Koei had handled it itself. It’s best you leave this well alone.

    Hamstrung by a long list of issues, Front Mission Evolved is just not a very good game. [Issue#198, p.93]

    The sort of simple, dumb, licensed game that causes the shelves of your local game shop to buckle under the weight of sheer undesirable mediocrity. [Issue#210, p.94]

    A brave attempt to tackle the strategy genre in a new way, but Stormrise is still left wanting in every area. If you’re looking for a brand new RTS, check out the more conventional Red Alert 3 instead.

    Showing its age both mechanically and visually, there's still fun to be had here if you've got the patience and the right mindset. It'll send everyone else to sleep, however. [Issue#220, p.79]

    Hampered by inconsistency and a lack of depth, CounterSpy ends up being painfully average, though it does at least have some good ideas, particularly its player-controlled campaign pacing. [Issue#248, p.70]

    It's impossible to score as all that kept us playing was the burning desire to conquer the game's staggering difficulty. [Issue#210, p.96]
