    For all the filth and frustration it's still oddly fun in places. [Issue#51, p.105]

    Repetitive and not exactly original. [Apr 2013, p.111]

    While the story sheds light on why solving these brain-teasers matters so much, it lacks the sense of unease the premise warrants. Devoid of any threat, Blind loses its way and you’re left to stumble from one (albeit good) puzzle room to the next with little tangible danger to spur you on. You’re not so much fumbling in the dark for a sense of direction as you are coerced towards a not-so-subtle twist. But you will have fun getting there. [Issue#155, p.90]

    It's often said, 'It's the journey that counts, not the destination'. Get Even is evidence that's not always the case, as the sum of its parts fails to gel despite some good moments. [July 2016, p.88]

    Controls-wise, the game is near-identical to "X-Men Legends." [Aug 2007, p.108]

    • 63 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Like four boring cover-shooters layered together. Inventive firearms aside, there’s a crippling lack of ideas: the weapon interplay is mild fun, but it can’t elevate the bland whole.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    After a few hours the only thing keeping you coming back will be a furious determination to beat the sodding game, rather than actually approaching enjoyment. [Mar 2009, p.105]

    Familiar issues hold it back from hooking us on its feeling. [July 2016, p.90]

    The best game adaptation of the manga yet, though that’s not saying much. Save for a few eccentric moments, it plays like a forgettable and outdated sidestory. [Issue#155, p.91]

    There's a pleasingly deep character creator to fiddle about with. [Apr 2013, p.118]

    It's double-handed fun while it lasts. [Apr 2017, p.90]

    Much like Laser Quest this is theoretically brilliant but a disappointment in reality. [Issue#51, p.109]

    The biggest complaint, as ever, is the controls: until the PSP grows a second analogue stick. shooters are going to feel clunky. [Dec 2007, p.112]
    • Playstation Official Magazine UK
    • 64 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Fight your way through the hideous mechanics and there's a fantastic narrative tucked away in there, a typically Suda-esque yarn that's equal parts compelling, unpredictable and offensive. [July 2016, p.91]
    • Playstation Official Magazine UK
    • 65 Metascore

    Fiddly controls. [Mar 2010, p.111]

    For all of its novelty value, there's no chance of it leaving your feet on fire. [Apr 2013, p.119]
    • Playstation Official Magazine UK
    • 75 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A perfectly serviceable level concept and map with a few neat ideas, but its balance is off and replay value is much lower than that of the other episodes in the series. [Aug 2016, p.84]

    The brawling itself is still solid. [Sept 2009, p.112]

    It's a fundamental (problem): you're playing Rock Band on a PSP. [Aug 2009, p.112]

    The rally fundamentals are there, but so is a disappointingly shoddy career mode. Genre fans will find a lot to love, but this is far from taking pole position. [Issue#155, p.86]

    Its chunky art style gives the whole thing a heart-warmingly retro look. [Apr 2017, p.95]

    On PSP, it's just not possible to get lost in the moment. [July 2008, p.100]

    It's really just a shooting gallery, but everything works. [Feb 2011, p.103]

    However good this trilogy was, it feels odd bundling it together because the games are such incremental upgrades of one another.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Fun with friends, but best avoided like the press gang alone. [Feb 2009, p.103]

    • 65 Metascore

    Good ideas are undermined by overuse and a lack of tension, but Blair Witch does leave you thinking ‘What if?’ and demands to be replayed . [Issue#171, p.97]
