    Not the worst game ever made, just doing a very good job of mimicking it on first impressions. [Issue#211, p.96]

    Racquet Sports is pretty much unforgivable tripe. It's boring, bland, and doesn't actually work properly. [Issue#198, p.96]

    While it doesn't to a lot wrong, Made Man's inability to do anything right leaves a drab and boring experience that, given the abundance of vastly superior alternatives, is best avoided by all but the most undemanding fans. [Issue#146, p.96]

    Technically horrific, poorly written and outrageously dull, The Cartel literally has nothing going for it. [Issue#208, p.87]

    There's zero inspiration in the gameplay and even less in the presentation. [Issue#202, p.90]

    Released for free, this would have been an interesting experiment – if still backed up with a boring, chugging racing game. As it stands it's the latter point mixed in with a £20-shaped slap in the face. Absolutely pointless.

    If you get it for nothing, give it a half an hour. If you don't, don't. [Issue#219, p.81]

    It looks bad, it sounds awful, it plays poorly, and it's really expensive with a tacky-feeling joystick. [Issue#223, p.75]

    Bland, ugly, boring, shamelessly derived from Gears of War and with very little in the way of redeeming features. [Issue#197, p.91]

    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 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 whole game just feels a bit budget, from the way that linked executions aren’t linked at all, merely canned animations played one after the other, to the short length and ugly UI elements. It’s a spin-off, and it sure feels like one.
