The best we can expect for now. [Apr 2011, p.112]

Slickly presented, but under the decals it's more mobility aid than motor storm. [Apr 2011, p.112]

Has enough meat on its bones to feed the most voracious action fans. [Apr 2011, p.109]

A playground of destruction like nothing else you can buy. [Apr 2011, p.108]

Unquestionably an improvement on the original. [Apr 2011, p.106]

A thoroughly daft, slightly fugly and resolutely old-school action-RPG. [Apr 2011, p.104]

For a game that spends most of its time grinding you down, smashing you into pieces and throwing you off high-rise buildings, MotorStorm Apocalypse is as much fun to be around as a rock star uncle. [Apr 2011, p.102]

The high speed also means the novelty is unlikely to last with this one, but then that's exactly why it's got such a throwaway price. [Apr 2011, p.101]

Smart and simple. [Apr 2011, p.101]

It's fast and tricky. [Apr 2011, p.101]

No more than a rusty, slightly warped clone of the Lego games. [Apr 2011, p.101]

It's distracting rather than involving. [Apr 2011, p.101]

Aesthetically, it's a sweet piece of 2D Americana. [Apr 2011, p.101]

Everything that's good about Fight Night Champion is the stuff that's been least fiddled with from Round 4. [Apr 2011, p.100]

It's excellent - technically strong, visually outstanding and full of welcome fresh ideas. It also has a poorly-told story and a deadening first few hours, but - a crucial but - the de-faced alien at the chewy centre makes it all worthwhile. [Apr 2011, p.97]

An exercise in tedium. [Spring 2011, p.117]

Even on the easiest difficulty the computer puts up a stern test. [Spring 2011, p.116]

Mixed up and odd, like a platypus in a petting zoo. [Spring 2011, p.116]

Still a classic, but slightly less fun when you don't have the option to play it on the go. [Spring 2011, p.116]

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

An embarrassing, nauseating mess. [Spring 2011, p.116]

For strategy buffs, Legends of War is complex, visually polished, and unyieldingly hardcore. [Spring 2011, p.116]

An enjoyable electro-frisbee to the face. [Spring 2011, p.115]

The extras on the basic frame mostly serve to make it worse. [Spring 2011, p.114]

Most disappointing is the length of the game. It'll take anyone with opposable thumbs little over an hour to unlock all 17 songs. [Spring 2011, p.114]

An infuriating test of trajectory skills and patience that will have you swearing, strooping and (perhaps most unbelievably of all) bloody well enjoying it. [Spring 2011, p.113]

It's actually fun, albeit about as memorable as a rich tea biscuit. [Spring 2011, p.113]

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]
