There's no personality here, no verve or wit or energy. [Aug 2008, p.104]

Reasonably priced but with only glimmers of personality. A fairly standard selection of multiplayer modes are livened up by the horde and generally a lot more fun than a lacking story campaign. [IssueE163, p.60]

The potential for a huge payoff in the final episode is undeniable. Still, the choices in this first episode will rarely make you stop and think for long, and there’s too much downtime, until a thrilling final half-hour. It’s good, but more undead than determined survivor [Issue#154, p.90]

Decent, but no improvement on the (now cheaper) earlier games. [May 2011, p.117]

The flying is pleasant, if a little dull and the inverted world is fascinating to see in motion but it's no nearly enough. [March 2018, p.93]

There's no risk of failing the puzzles. [May 2011, p.117]

Despite the familiarity of its mechanics, it's definitely way more fun than stepping on one of the damn bricks. [Apr 2014, p.87]

Falls well short of the bar set by Everybody's Gone To The Rapture, but this mini-mystery is drowning in atmosphere. The final 20 minutes are great. [July 2016, p.95]

The mechanics are nothing new and the shooting's oddly twitchy. [Jan 2012, p.114]

The overbearing cartoon license does its best to gobble up all the fun. [Apr 2014, p.92]

Just a tad overpriced. [Jan 2012, p.114]

It's fun at first, but the difficulty quickly shifts from "enjoyably challenging" to "I hate and want to dismember you." [Sept 2013, p.88]

If you want fun, play Elefunk, but for a sterner challenge, Cuboid is your man. [Apr 2009, p.94]

Hours of carving out tiny chunks of land and cowering in corners. [Dec 2009, p.18]

This short ep is as close as we've come to filler. [Aug 2014, p.91]

A capable and involving massacre-'em-up shaped from a rusting cookie cutter, but one begging for modernisation via an engine overhaul and some good ideas. [Sept 2013, p.90]

Chuck in a selection of mini-games and you've got cheap childcare sorted for the next two weeks. [Dec 2007, p.114]

No more than a rusty, slightly warped clone of the Lego games. [Apr 2011, p.101]

A little more focus on creating bigger scares instead could have easily let it flourish. [Apr 2010, p.109]

Despite the shonky performance issues and woeful combat, there's still something that compels you forward. [Aug 2014, p.91]

Promise is let down by its execution. [Sept 2013, p.94]

There's one thing I'm certain of: I need another go. [Nov 2009, p.127]

The five-to-six-hours-long single-player mode is certainly challenging, with some very well-designed boss fights, but the main maze-like levels feel basic and dreary. It’s a slog. Ponpu’s clearly best suited to local party play, but… well, it would be a pretty strange party if you got this one out. [Issue#184, p.89]

It's fast and tricky. [Apr 2011, p.101]

Smart and simple. [Apr 2011, p.101]

It's still spooky and largely enjoyable but it you're going to play it, do so alone. [Oct 2007, p.109]

If you see it in the bargain bin or have sired offspring in the last 15 years, this isn't the worst use of your moolah. [May 2011, p.118]

A collection of Space Invaders varients with diminishing returns. Come for Extreme, hang around for Gigamex SE, leave when Arkanoid Vs. rears its ugly head. [Issue#184, p.87]
