Bungie's blaster offers some of the best shooting on PS4, but right now, it feels more like a bumper expansion than a full-blown sequel. The Strikes are amazing, mind. [Nov 2017, p.75]

Pinball is awesome - this is just a massively unsatisfying version of it. [Dec 2009, p.18]

This might have seemed enjoyable 14 years ago, but then again so did MC Hammer. [Feb 2008, p.91]

There are thousands of programs, YouTube tutorials and teachers that do a more effective job of teaching, and an army of clicky peripheral-based games that nail the fun element better.

This mess somehow gets worse with every play...It's like buying a Ferrari only for it to fall to pieces as you drive out of the dealership. [May 2007, p.118]

Few things are as disappointing as shoot-'em up Alien Zombie Death. [May 2010, p.104]

Sometimes you'll want to hit yourself hard in the head with your controller, jus to break up the monotony. [Christmas 2011, p.105]

There's just too much wrong at the grass roots level. [Nov 2014, p.92]

Special moves are simply executed but look feeble, so you never get the sense that you're shellacking the snot out of your opponent. [Aug 2007, p.114]

The warfare is as dull as the characters. [June 2007, p.101]

If the tracking listing consisted of Lady Gaga and Crystal Castles, twiddling a little arrow around and hitting the face buttons might be more satisfying. [Sept 2010, p.117]

When the game does slip into heavy narrative - which is infuriatingly often, creating a horrible stop/start pace - the story is a mess. [Nov 2015, p.107]

I'd have happily raved about this clever Bejeweled-style puzzler were it not for its utterly outrageous price. [Sept 2009, p.107]

The formula needs an update. [Nov 2014, p.94]

A technical marvel this is not, but beneath the detritus lie some good ideas, at least. Open-world survival horror is a scintillating concept, conjuring images of casing out suspects at will, perhaps stumbling upon situations that blow the mystery wide open by chance. The reality’s much grimmer, of course – with so little to do between missions except tedious driving challenges, you often find yourself sleeping through the day to hurry it along.

Next-gen? It's barely present-gen. The Godfather has no business calling itself a PS3 game. [May 2007, p.108]

It's barely a game. [Nov 2009, p.130]

There's not enough room here to say how much I hate this game. I could write a novel about why Two Worlds II is the worst thing to happen to the fantasy RPG genre since encumbrance systems. [Apr 2011, p.114]

It's a solid enough bit of brain training, but there's nothing new here, nor anything more fun than a face full of yellow snow. [May 2011, p.113]

Like olden days Command & Conquer. Only minus the combat, the war, and the fun. [Sept 2011, p.116]

As far as being an actioner that's worthy of your time, this is not up to the standard we'd expect. In fact, it's nowhere Nier. [June 2010, p.105]

The wrestling element has been butchered. [May 2007, p.90]

Placing your shots feels random. [July 2007, p.109]

There's some mild appeal. [Christmas 2010]

Half-arsed superhero rubbish. [Christmas 2008, p.119]

There's a sense of satisfaction to slogging through each challenge in normal mode, but with only six levels to beat even this proves to be a hollow victory. [Aug 2007, p.109]

This is visually bare-bones and an incredibly sloppy port of the PC original. The menus have an eye-jittering delay that makes navigating a chore. Worse still, hard crashes occur every 20 minutes in the final third of the story, forcing you to replay tombs already conquered. It’s hard to recommend a game that punishes you with its bugs. Pray for this one. [Issue#178, p.82]

Basic gameplay, a by-the-numbers story, and graphics from a bygone era leave this PSP port stuck between a rock and a really outdated place. [July 2013, p.100]
