A tour de force in vapidity. [Issue#156, p.92]

You know those value brands that you often find in the big supermarkets? Fair Fencer F is the JRPG equivalent. With so much else around, it's not one we can recommend. [Issue#250, p.70]

Congratulations on a massive failure, this one is going in the history books. [Issue#163, p.90]

While it's not impossible to see why this series is so popular, each iteration fails to differentiate itself enough, and its poor gameplay, woeful design and awful sound repeatedly fails to impress. [Issue#176, p.92]

What interesting ideas are here end up lost beneath a tidal wave of bad ones. [Issue#223, p.87]

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

Poor design and an intrusive calibration mechanism result in a title that frustrates more than it excites. [Issue#199, p.91]

The battle system is interesting, but everything else about LR is sub-par. [Issue#191, p.79]

Occasionally average, but it's mostly dull and problematic. [Issue#157, p.90]

A nightmare to set up. [Issue#201, p.99]

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

This game screams 'avoid'. [Issue#205, p.90]

It's as if Hydravision made a list of all that's tiresome about this genre then carefully made sure not one item on the list was left out of this game. Then added co-op to apologise for it. [Issue#157, p.91]

Not enough to warrant the asking price. [Issue#182, p.75]

A platformer that will leave anyone who doesn't remember the original cold. [Issue#234, p.80]

A great concept, but one whose execution screams for another year in development. [Issue#184, p.79]

Button-hammering combos, awful graphics, dire plot and annoying side-quests culminate in a big cloud of sweary yet camp violence. [Issue#139, p.92]

A mundane button-bashing title. [Issue#170, p.85]

Poor gameplay, substandard graphics and a lack of vision severely limit its appeal to shooter fans. [Issue#165, p.86]

Generic platforming. [Issue#153, p.68]

There just is no point in Raging Blast existing. [Issue#186, p.81]

It's a brief distraction and sometimes interesting, if you get to watch some kid in Moscow making the most beautiful sounds you've ever heard, but that doesn't exactly happen all the time.

A functional open world game, Mad Max captures none of what makes its source material great. Missions are uninteresting, the world is dead and there are next to no damn car chases. [Issue#262, p.64]

Just too basic to illicit any kind of reaction at all, besides boredom. [Issue#191, p.78]

Utterly avoidable and culturally irrelevant. [Issue#160, p.91]

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!

Lots of stealth sections (too awkward), lots of puzzles (too hard), lots of fighting (too weird), lots of cutscenes (too many.) [Issue 141, p.97]

Buggy, ugly, and somehow unfinished after ten years...A huge disappointment. [Issue#229, p.68]
