    For all its intricacies, Outward is surprisingly easy to enjoy, but preparation is key if you want to explore everything that this RPG has to offer. A game worth exploring. [Issue#162, p.80]

    Without any upgrade path and thus little reason to invest in a character, your fun with Zombie Army Trilogy will ultimately be short-lived. [May 2015, p.94]

    Most people will be put off by the shallow gameplay. [Apr 2008, p.106]

    This might jus be the most stupid game on PS3. [Dec 2008, p.121]

    Robojam's sole aim is to provide wholesome good times for the under-10s. And it does just that. [July 2007, p.111]

    Gimmicks aside, however, this is fairly rote and restrictive by modern tower defence standards. [Nov 2015, p.108]

    • 62 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    A swing and a miss, but a game that at least delivers an easily wieldable flying model and holds your attention for the first few missions by virtue of endless 'splosions. [Sept 2013, p.95]
    • 62 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    The puzzles are simple but require the exact kind of precise control this doesn't provide. [June 2008, p.106]

    No classic, but Go! Puzzle gives you plenty of puzzle for minimum outlay. [June 2007, p.101]

    Despite being primarily a story-focused experience, the action proves just as enjoyable. [Apr 2018, p.96]

    By far the game’s biggest problem: a crippling lack of invention. Riptide exhausts through repetition. Your flooded playground lacks the visual variety of the first game’s Banoi and missions never blossom into fresh concepts, merely escalating in difficulty and frustration.

    Thoroughly relaxing. [Spring 2011, p.113]

    A nightmarish virtual reality world that scares and sickens in equal measure. [Christmas 2016, p.86]

    • 80 Critic Score
    Look past the scruffy visuals, because Flatout 4's penchant for vehicular violence means it passes its madcap MDT. [May 2017, p.92]

    The choice of missions in the open world is disappointingly limited. [Aug 2011, p.110]

    A reskinned arcade game with tacked-on multiplayer. [Oct 2012, p.117]

    Even in 1080p it's excruciatingly tricky to tell which lane you're in, leading to a lot of unnecessary collisions. [Dec 2007, p.113]

    • 62 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Any environmental message (or fun) that might be hidden within is scorched by the fury of having to pay an astonishing 7.99 quid for the privilege. [Apr 2010, p.113]

    While its underpinnings are strong, it never fulfils its potential, and there are probably some lessons on how not to write a visual novel in here. If you came for cool werewolves, you’ll probably be bogged down by all the deforestation stuff. If you came for an environmental story, you may well be overwhelmed by World Of Darkness lore. Either way, it’s a miss, but it does at least aim in the right direction. [Issue#187, p.81]

    It quickly becomes repetitive nonsense. [Apr 2012, p.97]

    That those thrills are buried beneath so much frustration, however, is utter madness. [Aug 2014, p.94]

    • 62 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A jarring experience that tries (and fails) to marry a wildly ambitious gameplay dynamic with some of the most disappointingly generic art design we've ever seen. [Nov 2008, p.106]

    • 62 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The game’s animation and performance are lacking but its art direction is colourful, and the dialogue has the same infectious energy as it does in the show.2 Only die-hard Adventure Time fans should check this out. [Issue#153, p.89]

    As a solid, enjoyable aerial Mario Kart alternative, this is a pleasant surprise, especially if you're someone who finds Simlish consistently hilarious. [Issue#51, p.109]

    The roster is incomplete and months out of date with the sport itself. [Christmas 2014, p.91]

    Such a simple yet intensely satisfying and addictive experience. [Apr 2007, p.102]

    Sometimes mechanics aren't enough. [Sept 2015, p.95]
    • Playstation Official Magazine UK
    • 61 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Functional and at times enjoyable, but in a derivative way that rarely stands out.
