    The game taught us that Japan lost the war thanks to shattered AI and terrible clipping. [May 2008, p.111]

    Lamely executed. [July 2016, p.94]

    Did the developers even watch the show before they made the game? [Aug 2007, p.112]

    A fairly significant disaster. [July 2009, p.92]

    It felt genuinely good to not be playing it anymore, and that is a rare thing in games nowadays. [Oct 2014, p.92]

    Ice Age 4 isn't all bad. [Sept 2012, p.113]

    The framerate is pathetic and the textures are sub-PS2. [Apr 2009, p.96]

    If I stopped to process the notion that I'll never get the time back I spent wrestling with A-Men 2's spongy, imprecise jumping and clunky puzzles, I might never stop trembling with impotent rage. [Jan 2014, p.95]

    Unfortunately, there’s just no hope for this one. Sure, it looks like a game – and we all love games – but the rot has taken hold and it’s too late to save it. You should go on ahead and we’ll put this sorry thing out of its misery.

    AMY
    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.

    A cynical grab for gullible gamer Christmas cash made to coincide with Vita's first festive period, this COD shouldn't just be declassified; it should be erased from existence.

    Pretty far from brilliant. [May 2007, p.120]

    Almost everything about Weeping Doll underwhelms. [Jan 2016, p.115]

    Excruciatingly sterile turn-based combat. [Sept 2007, p.116]

    The biggest challenge is dealing with the wonky physics. [May 2007, p.114]
    • Playstation Official Magazine UK
    • 32 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Not just a missed opportunity, but an insulting and pitiful gamble on the Tony Hawk name that deserves little more than a collectible agreement to pretend it didn't happen. [Dec 2015, p.84]

    • 31 Metascore

    This may not be the worst Kick Off game ever, but even blind nostalgia can't redeem its many faults. [Sept 2016, p.108]

    You'd be better off being put to sleep for all eternity. [Apr 2011, p.118]

    The AI appears to have all the intellect of an overcooked marrow, which might very well make a more appealing videogame. [May 2012, p.116]

    This installment lacks the humour, thrill and charm of any of its franchise's predecessors. [Oct 2016, p.94]

    Cheap, shonky, sometimes non-functional, Air Conflicts: Vietnam is so pitifully crap that it's almost adorable. Just like those little two-legged dogs with the wheels. [Oct 2014, p.95]

    Can it balls. [June 2011, p.112]

    • 10 Critic Score
    The Quiet Man is a once-in-a-generation terrible game mired by technical and racial issues, pretentious ideas, and poor execution. It’s an ineffable game that fails to land any of its posy punches. That it merely exists… now that is something to cry over. [Issue#157, p.97]

    Looking past the glitches, Wander's environment fails to reward your curiosity. [Aug 2015, p.94]

    Depressing fare. [May 2014, p.83]

    Should you even think about renting it for a laugh? To quote Dick Marcinko: "F*ck no." [Feb 2010, p.107]

    • 24 Metascore
    • 10 Critic Score
    I'd say that you should try playing this only to laugh at its total, across-the-board incompetence, but it'd be like recommending you throw eight quid into the bin and then roll around naked and giggling in a pile of your own faeces. Unrivaled indeed. [Sept 2010, p.115]

    • 20 Critic Score
    It only avoids the worst score I can give by virtue of the fact that it (just about) functions. Rambo inspires more anger than biting your tongue just after you’ve stubbed your toe.
    • 21 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    A shoddy, cynical cash-in that has absolutely no right to be retailing at 32 Pounds. [Aug 2013, p.95]
    • Playstation Official Magazine UK
    • 19 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    A shattered kidney of a sports sim. [March 2015, p.94]
