    In booting out such a shamelessly phoned-in product it shows a flagrant lack of faith in Vita as a format. If you own FIFA Football, there's no way you should buy this… unless you really can't bear to see the Arse line up minus Santi Carzola. Naughty FIFA.

    Sadly, the frantic combat is never as graceful as it should be. [Apr 2013, p.117]

    Less fun is how it plays. [Jan 2010, p.119]

    A hugely ambitious, immersive RPG that too often works against itself. Perhaps worth playing – just not at full price and not on PS4 without further patches. [Issue#184, p.82]

    Promise is let down by its execution. [Sept 2013, p.94]

    Between the travel sickness, the lurid colours and the nightmare-inducing soundtrack, one level is the playable equivalent of food poisoning. Another over-used puzzle has you rolling around collecting stars as time ticks away in a manner horribly reminiscent of a smartphone app that would cost around £17 less.

    This is barely a game. [July 2014, p.80]

    By no means a disaster, but it captures none of the majestic, mechaphiliac idiocy of the movies. [Sept 2011, p.117]

    Downloadable fun at its finest. [Feb 2008, p.98]

    Weaponry is dull and so are the contests - a mix of base capturing and amassing kills. Avoid like a landmine. [May 2007, p.120]

    The shooting at the core of the game is pretty solid, but that doesn't count for much when every complex set-piece cripples its engine. [Apr 2008, p.102]

    At its best, Raiders offers frantic co-op shooting against waves of enemies. But boring missions and repetitive objectives mean it's ultimately mediocre. [Dec 2017, p.94]

    You'll reach the labyrinth's end in under two hours. [Sept 2017, p.85]

    Rather than doing anything very clever, it just nicks some of the best lines from the films, reminds you of the bits you liked, and carries on quietly being an incredibly average platform scrapper. [Sept 2007, p.117]

    It takes a decent idea, then tries to compensate for its unpredictable framerate with grinding and shooting and powerslides that just make it a confusing mess. [Apr 2008, p.112]

    A fighting game that won’t appeal to anyone. Newcomers won’t be endeared to the Shonen Jump series, and longtime fans will know there’s better out there. [Issue#160, p.96]

    This looks sharp and, most importantly, feels good as you pull the trigger. [May 2008, p.115]

    A decent-ish shooter that makes you feel like the Terminator - until you start regularly crashing. If it were more reliable it would be highly recommended. [March 2017, p.97]

    Dangerous Golf is so desperate for you to have a good time that it keeps heaping new elements onto the premise. A robust "less" would have offered so much "more". [Aug 2016, p.95]

    A first-person experience that nails the experience part, but - despite flashes of brilliance - reminds you all too often that an astronaut's job can be...well, a bit dull. [Sept 2016, p.109]

    You're either on rails with almost no control, or doing random tricks that feel totally disconnected from the peripheral itself. [Jan 2011, p.121]
