Slinging around New York remains a pleasing hoot. [July 2014, p.81]

The whole enterprise smacks of a hopeless brief. [Jan 2008, p.103]

Botched and broken, irritating and offensive, this samey, soulless sandbox fails to overthrow the old regime's ruling shooters. Good guns, mind. [July 2016, p.75]

The game constantly makes you look a titanic fool, but matching the rhythm of the Move's rumble to your gestures for extra speed is oddly satisfying. [Nov 2011, p.109]

The Arrival is also incredibly short in length (you can be done in two hours if you're quick), but it's sinister, unnerving and full of scream-worthy jump scares while it lasts. [Dec 2014, p.94]

More hands-on control makes for a marked improvement on last year's sadistically tedious effort. [Sept 2013, p.86]

The controls...feel counter-intuitive at first and mean that most of your success is thanks to a very forgiving auto aim rather than sharp shooting. [Spring 2011, p.113]

Transposes the turn-based shooter into a futuristic setting competently, but ultimately is far from essential. For genre completists only. [Issue#174, p.93]

The whole thing's a lot like looking at a picture for ages and trying to find tiny objects. [Dec 2009, p.109]

An interesting concept, but the game's lack of control over the scares removes any possible creeping horror. [July 2014, p.92]

The Fight can still entertain a crowd for all the wrong reasons. [Christmas 2010]

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

Worst of all, it never feels even vaguely scary. [Aug 2008, p.102]

Frustrating. [Sept 2008, p.104]

Useless like a paper hammer. [Feb 2011, p.113]

By turns mildly irritating and laceratingly dull, Extinction is a hopeless mess with one of the worst third-person cameras you'll ever encounter. Give it a miss, eh? [June 2018, p.86]

It's ambitious, but everything in it suffers from some hideous defect, like a garden centre in the middle of Chernobyl. [Oct 2012, p.110]

Was it necessary to also make it so ugly? [Aug 2011, p.110]

This can't contest Undisputed as an MMA game, nor the best fighters on beat-'em-up terms. Yet there's a place for it, simply 'cause no one has bridged the gap between these genres. So, who wants to step outside?

Moments of fan service and an ambition to do more than simple shooting can’t overshadow the aged feeling of Terminator: Resistance. [Issue#170, p.93]

Stupid. [Apr 2011, p.118]

One afterlife that's plain hard to enjoy. [Aug 2016, p.94]

It's an enormous game, but a bit of a shambles. [Sept 2016, p.103]

It's definitely playable, and respectable value at a penny under seven quid. [Sept 2009, p.112]

An unmistakably devilish puzzler with a truly hellacious price tag, that it’s so flippin’ brilliant only gives Angry Birds: Star Wars’ exclusive-to-PS4 cost extra sting. C3P-no.

Everything's been needlessly fiddled with so that it no longer makes sense. [March 2007, p.120]

Lacks harmony in track and mode selection, but is still the best party game going once you get to the singing/drinking/ritual embarrassment. [Christmas 2014, p.95]

A flimsy-feeling team shooter that squanders an appealing premise in a mess of poor controls and design. This is one set of dinosaurs that should be put to rest. [Jan 2016, p.91]
