    The stylistic, themed pieces (aquatic, chaos, etc.) all look the same unless you squint, and the lacklustre animations have no purpose other than slowing down play. [Apr 2007, p.118]

    This is barely a game. [July 2014, p.80]

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

    Pretty amusing until you realise what a shameful rip-off it is. [Sept 2011, p.108]

    Depressing fare. [May 2014, p.83]

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

    Cheap and nasty. [Dec 2009, p.18]

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

    If there were no other racers on PS3, or indeed on the planet, buying this would still be a mistake, but with the likes of Dirt already out there, and Motorstorm: Pacific Rift on the horizon, spending money on Baja would be nothing short of madness. [Dec 2008, p.113]

    In a game that's only two hours long, being this gnawingly repetitive is actually quite an achievement. [May 2009, p.103]
    • Playstation Official Magazine UK
    • 38 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    Stale gameplay, unevocative level design and a control scheme that's about as responsive as a cave troll on Ketamine. [Oct 2015, p.89]

    • 70 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    There's not enough room here to say how much I hate this game. I could write a novel about why Two Worlds II is the worst thing to happen to the fantasy RPG genre since encumbrance systems. [Apr 2011, p.114]

    If, like the makers of this game, you think the world needs another bad Arkanoid clone, then you deserve a toe-punt in the spine. [Apr 2011, p.114]

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

    It seems kinder on everyone to stand there and let the bull impale you. [Aug 2015, p.94]
    • Playstation Official Magazine UK
    • 42 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    One of the most unfinished, least fun games of recent years, and almost unplayably jerky on a standard PS4. A total disaster of a game. [June 2018, p.97]

    • 20 Critic Score
    This is cynical profiteering of the most detestable order, and sullies the good name of one of 2014's best-liked films. [Sept 2014, p.107]

    • 49 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    It's basic, ugly and lacks any sense of excitement. [Apr 2012, p.118]

    God, it's so confusing. [Nov 2011, p.113]

    This is a farce of a game and "Super Smash Bros" has already done the cartoon, co-op, beat-'em-up with infinitely more flair and class, nine long years ago. [Mar 2007, p.111]

    Borked. [June 2015, p.94]

    Deserves to be strangled with its own entrails. [Christmas 2010]

    It's almost worth playing Chronicles just to appreciate how bad it is. Almost, but definitely not. [Apr 2010, p.112]

    • 20 Critic Score
    Weaponry is dull and so are the contests - a mix of base capturing and amassing kills. Avoid like a landmine. [May 2007, p.120]

    Two hours of unmitigated boredom. [Christmas 2010]

    A shattered kidney of a sports sim. [March 2015, p.94]

    Utterly pointless. [Jan 2011, p.118]

    • 23 Metascore
    • 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.
    • 45 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    Avoid like you would a family holiday to Nudefest 2010. [Issue#51, p.110]

    • 31 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    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]
