    Put it on the endangered list. [Christmas 2010]

    A pitiful tie-in to a sub-standard movie. [June 2011, p.111]

    A miserable cash-in...A poorly conceived and clumsily executed waste of time and money. [Mar 2009, p.101]

    A joyless chore. [Apr 2018, p.84]

    So casual it's wearing flip flops. [Jan 2011, p.118]

    The framerate is pathetic and the textures are sub-PS2. [Apr 2009, p.96]
    • Playstation Official Magazine UK
    • 46 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    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]

    The web slinging...now feels mundane thanks to a randomised upgrade system and the stupidly unpredictable camera. [Aug 2007, p.107]

    While its underpinnings are strong, it never fulfils its potential, and there are probably some lessons on how not to write a visual novel in here. If you came for cool werewolves, you’ll probably be bogged down by all the deforestation stuff. If you came for an environmental story, you may well be overwhelmed by World Of Darkness lore. Either way, it’s a miss, but it does at least aim in the right direction. [Issue#187, p.81]

    It's the most broken game I've played on PS4. [Apr 2016, p.94]

    As awful as the 'big console' version is great. [Christmas 2009, p.116]

    This stinks worse than week-old zombie balls. [Feb 2011, p.103]

    A boring stealth game, made all the more annoying by Tom's bewilderingly poor fitness (four seconds of sprinting and he's knackered) and the worst gun in the history of games. It's rubbish. [Apr 2017, p.90]

    I'd rather go to an actual bowling alley and risk getting attacked by an eight year old who's all hopped up on sugar. [Feb 2011, p.103]
    • Playstation Official Magazine UK
    • 45 Metascore

    A framerate that's juddery like a hand-cranked projector. [Feb 2009, p.103]

    Patches may rescue this to some degree. For now, it’s an unfinished game which should remain unpurchased by your wallet. [Issue#170, p.86]

    If this was eye candy it would be the ancient fluffy Polo mint at the bottom of your grandma's lavender handbag. [June 2010, p.113]

    Avoid this like you would a back street endoscopy. [July 2007, p.114]

    • 30 Critic Score
    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]

    A browser game on a disc. [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.

    Ironically, this played better in 2003. [Issue#183, p.81]

    Judge Dread would be more accurate. [Oct 2012, p.117]

    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]

    • 30 Critic Score
    A disappointing PS VR offering from a studio that should know better. It feels like an early tech demo that someone's attached a daft price to. Basketball? Nope, just balls. [Jan 2017, p.129]

    Appalling textures, clunky systems and gameplay you have to shake yourself away from. [Dec 2013, p.95]

    While the story at least tries to play on reality, the gameplay lurches back and forth between sim and arcade. [Feb 2012, p.107]

    All nine stages are far too cramped and zoomed-in. [Nov 2015, p.107]
