    There's no doubt that this is top quality content but playing these modes without the main game is not a full experience. Thankfully the price tag makes up for that in a big way. [Issue#199, p.86]

    The ending may prove divisive, but thanks to some brilliant acting and well-balanced gameplay, Ninja Theory seems to have found the perfect storytelling formula. [Issue#197, p.76]

    All the relentless pace and slick style of a classic 2D Japanese action game in a 3D modern masterpiece. [Issue#197, p.71]

    More than anything else it falls foul of not offering enough weight in terms of gameplay modes and AI challenge. [Issue#181, p.84]

    It's getting harder each year to cling onto the memory of PES being the best footballing game out there... It's not as good as FIFA. [Issue#197, p.84]

    Great fun - when played for ten minutes and wading through zombies with a paddle-saw. When you play it properly, though, it falls apart. Frustrating, bloated and slightly stilted - it's fun, but not revolutionary. [Issue#197, p.88]

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

    It's text heavy, combat can be clumsy and the premise for this RPG is hardly original, but JRPG fans are going to love Phantasy Star Portable 2 regardless. [Issue#197, p.98]
