It’s got passion but is far from having all the answers. We can’t recommend what we played but hope that a patch has addressed the bugs obscuring its bright ideas. [Issue#170, p.90]

Worth checking out both as a PlayStation, and gaming, fan if you want to see an evolutionary step on the way to where we are today.

A worthy companion piece to the film - against all odds the stealth is actually fun. [Feb 2009, p.100]

Although visually slick, the cars feel slow. [Christmas 2010]

You certainly can’t fault Defiance for lack of content, then. Sadly, what you can fault it for is being an ugly, buggy and monotonous shooter with a tenuous link to a mediocre sci-fi TV drama.

It’s occasionally clever, and has great art design, but isn’t nearly as smart as it thinks it is. [Issue#173, p.96]

Avoid this like you would a back street endoscopy. [July 2007, p.114]

While it lasts Lemmings remains as addictive as it is cute. [May 2007, p.114]

On paper the game has it all; in reality, Necromunda is clunky, plagued by bugs, including hard crashes and desynced audio, and an old-fashioned approach to the genre. [Issue#181, p.94]

However good this trilogy was, it feels odd bundling it together because the games are such incremental upgrades of one another.

Turgid mess. [July 2010, p.118]

Has flashes of inspiration while magnifying its predecessor's flaws. [March 2018, p.90]

If you never got the chance to experience the original when it came to PS3 and want to pick this up out of curiosity, it’s probably best to avoid it – it’s outright damaging to the legacy of Crysis. [Issue#181, p.88]

Despite solid work, it looks and feels a generation behind "Flatout [Head On]", and never matches the sweet thrill of "GTA: LCS's" wild bike rides. [Apr 2008, p.105]

From Jump to Eruption, the note placement is a joy to belt out. [Apr 2010, p.113]

This is just like every other Dynasty Warriors game ever, but somehow duller. [May 2008, p.115]

Terrifying. [Dec 2009, p.18]

The anti-Hawk. It lacks excitement, it's shy of thrills, and it really isn't worth bothering with at all. [Sept 2007, p.108]

There's sadly no imagination here. [Sept 2007, p.108]

An interesting concept with half-decent story beats, dragged to hell by shonky puzzles, odd dialogue jumps and bugs that are far more terrifying than the subject matter. [Aug 2014, p.87]

The never-ending waves of vigilante violence appeal to my stubborn side. [Nov 2012, p.117]

Given that fans of the movie have surely long-since moved on, there is simply no reason for this game to exist. [May 2007, p.120]

Make this your first PS VR purchase. [Dec 2016, p.82]

An entire ancient city for you to explore at will and combat that regularly rewards is undermined by constant motion sickness; Golem sadly puts the Vomit in VR. [Issue@#171, p.93]

Open world Spyro though? Maybe next time. [Jan 2009, p.97]

Not good enough to be set free, not bad enough to be tossed to the lions. [July 2011, p.95]

Feels oddly hollow. [Aug 2014, p.94]

Too casual and limited to appeal to anyone but die-hard fans of The Dark Crystal and Final Fantasy Tactics, this tie-in lacks the depth and complexity of its retro references. [Issue#173, p.94]
