A great platform-puzzler for kids. [Sept 2013, p.87]

Ask yourself: how much do you care about fictional weaponry? [June 2009, p.95]

Zooming around highways, waterways, and skyways is a real blast, despite some wonky vehicle physics. And just soaring through the air is a soothing experience. [Issue#152, p.75]

This has the rare, old-fashioned appeal of being a real pad-passer. [Apr 2013, p.110]

It's never dull or ordinary. [March 2015, p.91]

One of the prettiest games we've seen so far on Playstation VR, but no amount of delicious dino looks can save this clunky, confusing quest. [Jan 2016, p.112]

Combat is totally hit and miss thanks to a crippling camera. [Apr 2008, p.112]

While SAOFB tries to shake up its formula, it does little to inject the game with a distinct identity. [Apr 2018, p.96]

The hot toddy of PSN games, if you will. [June 2013, p.107]

The visuals are mostly bright and clear, although the occasional piece of disappearing scenery and some issues with pop-up dampen the fun. [Oct 2007, p.97]

Unless you've got masochistic urges to indulge, you'd be wise to steer clear. [Apr 2010, p.113]

There's a Hollywood sheen spread over The Run that occasionally makes it sparkle, from the Frostbite 2 engine's environmental effects to the action-movie score. But peer beneath the gleaming veneer and you repeatedly encounter a stomach-lurchingly shallow experience – not unlike any movie you can name by the aforementioned Mr Bay, ironically.

Clever and charming. [May 2018, p.89]

Fated is well-meaning but hollow. [June 2017, p.92]

Purists may be put off by the lack of deep side-quests, but for everyone else this is a tongue in cheek adventure that offers something different from the usual RPG fare. [May 2007, p.114]

Loud, dumb and more than a little buggy, The Shadow of New Despair may be average in single-player, but it's a rich source of co-operative comedy. [Feb 2016, p.89]
