    Transposes the turn-based shooter into a futuristic setting competently, but ultimately is far from essential. For genre completists only. [Issue#174, p.93]

    At 5.45, this is still a big ask for a mobile title retailing for 1.99 over on Apple's side of the gaming fence. [Feb 2014, p.94]

    There's no denying that the technology has serious potential, it's just a shame that the first game to use it ends up being a busted flush. [Dec 2007, p.100]

    Unresponsive controls. [Christmas 2011, p.111]

    Occasionally exasperating and more than a little repetitive, but it's certainly not hateful. [Feb 2013, p.107]

    Shots are harder to keep down than a helium-filled kangaroo. [Christmas 2010]

    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    What's here, while less fully formed in some areas than others, is still an impressive show from a developer working more or less alone. [Issue#152, p.79]

    As a Lord of the Rings property, this is disappointing. [Feb 2013, p.112]

    Given its focus on just one thing, Overpass doesn’t feel particularly realistic or weighty, and you can certainly get more excitement from conquering GTA V’s Mount Chiliad. Still, it does what it does without fuss, faffing, or frills, so take it or leave it. We’d probably leave it. [Issue#174, p.86]

    Classic is still worth the 7.99 entry fee. Just. [Jan 2009, p.95]

    This JRPG needs a few more lessons before it'll be concert ready. Lacking the tightness it needs, it's not quite the rising star it hopes to be, but it's still endearing. [Issue#152, p.91]

    Fun in short spurts, patchy in quality, this is a club not everyone will want to get into, even if they have the password. [Issue#174, p.92]

    • 75 Metascore

    The unravelling of a tightly focused classic. [May 2015, p.84]

    Perhaps worst of all, Wanted just doesn't progress after the first couple of hours. [May 2009, p.105]

    If PSP Minis were TV, Echoes would be the weird arty cartoon that ran for about five minutes at 3am. [Jan 2010, p.115]

    The game is also lazily linear at times. [Christmas 2008, p.94]
    • Playstation Official Magazine UK
    • 72 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Too technically flabby to be called vintage, but you'll find yourself immersed in a satisfyingly grim story with a varied cast of characters. [May 2015, p.86]

    Ends up signing off like a poor imitation of past glories rather than a respectable addition to the BS legacy. [Sept 2014, p.107]
    • Playstation Official Magazine UK
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A likeable, albeit unpolished, blend of action and strategy that hasn't been done before. [May 2009, p.94]
    • Playstation Official Magazine UK
    • 53 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It's still low budget, esoteric and clunky as a rusted Raleigh, but so much better. [Sept 2014, p.110]

    Tak[es] a simple idea - roll a cube over and around 3D platforms towards an exit - and mak[es] it impossibly complicated. [Apr 2007, p.118]

    Some of these problems to dissolve a little in online multiplayer, with 18 players going head-to-head as different species. [Apr 2010, p.98]

    Today it carries far more historical worth than it does actual entertainment. [Sept 2014, p.110]

    • 60 Critic Score
    An unrefined Portal-lite it may be, but this first-person puzzler occasionally weaves sharply spun noggin teasers to provide some proper ‘Eureka!’ moments.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The action can get dizzying. [May 2018, p.89]

    Recommended for the popular and TV-less. [Oct 2008, p.103]

    Combat itself is a stuttering fit of clipping, incorrigible AI an dropped frames. [May 2015, p.93]

    • 60 Critic Score
    For what it's worth, those dice animations really are the best we've ever seen. [Christmas 2008, p.119]
    • Playstation Official Magazine UK
    • 61 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    An ambitious hybrid of racing and role-playing that fails to deliver a meaningful story or make the most of its extraordinary setting. [Feb 2015, p.85]
    • Playstation Official Magazine UK
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The cute visual style of the cutscenes aside, the story mode is just plain ugly...Basic at best, boring at worst. [Issue#152, p.86]
