We keep rubbing our eyes, hoping that the game it clearly wants to be materialises. Unfortunately we can’t overlook its many flaws. [Issue#165, p.97]

Just bang-average. [Christmas 2016, p.91]

It's just a pity the engine is a little bit of a shambles. [Oct 2015, p.89]

It's ironic that a game so willfully, tonally idiotic can be this cleverly designed. A smart, slick, and striking multiplayer curio that's worth the digital paper it's printed on. [June 2017, p.93]

Tedious enemies. [Aug 2012, p.117]

Despite its presentational flaws – the script is married to some deeply underwhelming visuals – and lack of true inspiration, solid implementation of both the basic mechanics and the wannabe game-changer mean it floats our boat, even if we're not flipping out.

Offering many memorable moments and a well-realised if empty world, this remaster is dragged down by some technical flaws . The Definitive Edition? Not quite. [Issue#177, p.147]

An avalanche of mediocrity that you'd be insane to buy. [Mar 2010, p.116]

Predator: Hunting Grounds’ fun procession of film references and solid gameplay loop distract from the many flaws that hold it back from being an essential online shooter. [Issue#176, p.71]

Plagued with loading times and bad dialogue. [Dec 2012, p.117]

Feels like a two-wheeled Dirt imitator without the polish. [May 2012, p.107]

It's an odd game, this. [June 2014, p.92]

One of the worst open worlds Ubisoft has released. Even if its issues have been patched by the time you read this, this is one seriously uninspired sandbox. [Issue#168, p.88]

"Quotation Forthcoming"

Boss battles are fun, but overall it feels like hard work. [Apr 2007, p.110]

There's plenty of fun to be squeezed out of this despite numerous technical missteps, but unduly complacent, overly familiar mission design holds it back. [July 2016, p.82]

It all feels a little soulless. [Sept 2009, p.106]

The Hulk is ugly, outdated, and from the look of some sections, maybe even unfinished. [Sept 2008, p.100]

A suffocating ooze of obtuse controls and repetitive button bashing. [Sept 2008, p.104]

Well-intentioned training minigames don’t really help, and nor does the multiplayer mode. There’s always something in the environment that seems more interesting than the game itself, such as a Japanese garden you can’t explore, or arcade cabinets that you can’t use. Give the table tennis experience this game serves up a miss. [Issue#170, p.92]

No amount of sharp gunplay can redeem Haze's cilched script and patchy execution. [July 2008, p.90]

The stealth lacks Ezio's style. [Apr 2012, p.115]

No frills? No thrills, more like. [June 2007, p.105]

Assuming you can patch it and it works, what you've got here is a basic shooter that, when it remembers what it is, can be fun, and when it forgets, goes mad.

Blame rapidly decaying attention spans if you want, but this won't hold your attention for long. [Aug 2007, p.103]

When your whole game is build around a mystifyingly unintuitive control mechanic, you're pretty much screwed from the outset. [Sept 2009, p.113]

If I'd bought this for the Atari ST in 1989, I'd want my money back. [Sept 2011, p.107]

It's hard to find a match online, and offline the game shows its age with a stuttering framerate, long load times, and a drop in texture detail when the screen fills with enemies. [Issue#151, p.94]
