It's a solid enough bit of brain training, but there's nothing new here, nor anything more fun than a face full of yellow snow. [May 2011, p.113]

Only buy this game if you like watching little blue things die. [May 2011, p.113]

Feeble mimic. [Spring 2011, p.108]

Bland weapons and generic enemies. [Spring 2011, p.111]

A lazy wasteful mess. [June 2008, p.103]

A technical marvel this is not, but beneath the detritus lie some good ideas, at least. Open-world survival horror is a scintillating concept, conjuring images of casing out suspects at will, perhaps stumbling upon situations that blow the mystery wide open by chance. The reality’s much grimmer, of course – with so little to do between missions except tedious driving challenges, you often find yourself sleeping through the day to hurry it along.

Lamely executed. [July 2016, p.94]

Feels like the sort of shovelware your mate sneaked onto the school PCs in 1996. [Dec 2009, p.18]

The only redeemeing feature is that you don't have to deal with the AI's incompetence as much when playing against a mate. [Apr 2008, p.104]

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

A game that while atmospheric, turns monotonous very quickly, and whose ideas are never developed in a way that makes it interesting to play. [Issue#184, p.86]

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 game mostly consists of busywork. [July 2009, p.102]

It's basically an 8-bit knock-off of Wipeout, without all the fun destructive bits like mines or rockets. [June 2010, p.113]

Another of Sony's bite-sized attempts to make motion control work, and although skydiving's a better idea than skiiing (seek out "Feel Ski" for proof - or rather, don't), it still isn't much fun. [Mar 2008, p.113]

In a game build around multiplayer, it's baffling that the developer would undermine any gains made through Infinity being freely available by making it so difficult to play once you have it. [Aug 2014, p.91]

A Move interface would have worked better. [Jan 2012, p.114]

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]

Dull puzzles. [Sept 2008, p.96]

That those thrills are buried beneath so much frustration, however, is utter madness. [Aug 2014, p.94]

Just mildly incomprehensible. [May 2011, p.118]

If you stripped away the beloved license and were left with the barebones mechanics on show here, this would be a [twenty]. It's only the appeal of the iconic leviathans and John Williams' wonderful score which push Jurassic Park ever so slightly above awful.

The wrestling element has been butchered. [May 2007, p.90]

A swing and a miss, but a game that at least delivers an easily wieldable flying model and holds your attention for the first few missions by virtue of endless 'splosions. [Sept 2013, p.95]

Not just another fumbled tie-in but a painfully wasted opportunity.

Stop buying this crap and eventually they'll either cease making it, or make it better. [Sept 2009, p.104]

I wanted Amy to be good. It's a small developer trying to do something different, and a quality PSN survival horror game would have been perfect. But this is technically shoddy, poorly designed and unbearably frustrating. There's the odd moment when you care, but a dose of pure anger is never far behind.

Random turn-based combat and impenetrable inventory. [Spring 2011, p.116]
