This was sort of acceptable a couple of years ago, but with PSP now capable of tossing around gigantic, detailed cities, it looks a bit old-fashioned. [July 2007, p.108]

The anti-Hawk. It lacks excitement, it's shy of thrills, and it really isn't worth bothering with at all. [Sept 2007, p.108]

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

The only decent fights and objectives that are there follow the main storyline like a stalker - everything else is just busywork filler. [July 2007, p.112]

Thanks for the memories, Mr. Wizard. Now toddle back to your castle and don't bother us again. [Oct 2007, p.113]

It's nowhere near sexy enough...Heetseeker just doesn't have the quality to deliver on its premise. [May 2007, p.111]

Tak[es] a simple idea - roll a cube over and around 3D platforms towards an exit - and mak[es] it impossibly complicated. [Apr 2007, p.118]

The challenge drops out of the game entirely. [Apr 2008, p.112]

F.E.A.R.'s slo-mo gunplay is worth experiencing, but the whole game hangs on a single gimmick - and ultimately it isn't quite enough. [May 2007, p.86]

The warfare is as dull as the characters. [June 2007, p.101]

Dodgy ball-physics misery. [July 2007, p.114]

The combat system is leaden. [Aug 2007, p.114]

MKII gives a fascinating insight into how far fighting games have come in the last decade and a half. [Sept 2007, p.114]

It can't quite live up the the standard set by its more playable big brother. [May 2007, p.108]

The multiplayer stuff is so good that without it, the game simply wouldn't be as enjoyable. World Tour is immensely entertaining, but played solo it eventually becomes a slightly lonely, hollow experience. [Apr 2007, p.98]

Unlimited? Not quite. Expansive But Ultimately Shallow would be better, but that probably wouldn't fit on the box. [Mar 2007]

I've never encountered a game that so completely captivated my attention for this long. I've clocked 180 hours in total and I'm still playing. [May 2007, p.78]

It's ballsy, hugely moreish, and so consistently exciting that not even the inevitably repetitive nature of the gameplay can bring this jet down. [June 2007, p.100]

It's sensory overload at first, but immerse yourself in the sometimes clumsily designed levels and there are solid laughs underneath. [June 2007, p.110]

It's gently hypnotic stuff, but fight a dozen super-intelligent skeletons and you'll soon be yearning for the simple pleasures of "Lumines." [Mar 2007, p.111]

Next-gen? It's barely present-gen. The Godfather has no business calling itself a PS3 game. [May 2007, p.108]
