Despite the surprisingly solid gameplay, not all is perfect: Animations are stiff, close combat can feel clunky, and the voice-acting's more miss than hit. [March 2011, p.78]- Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)

Badman's core mechanic is frustrating in that you can't directly control your troops, so it feels like luck plays as much a role as skill. [Nov 2009, p.84]- Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)

Building on that solid foundation, its more polished sequel gives armchair athletes another great reason to get off the couch. [Holiday 2012, p.76]- Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)

It's definitely clever and fun, though, and Inferno's raft of improvements is enough to finally make Alone worth your attention. [Holiday 2008, p.81]- Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)

R-Type Command isn't a bad game per se; it's just incredibly average, with too many flaws to overlook. [Aug 2008, p.79]- Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)

This top-down arcade shooter has a slow and steady pace that's a great match for it's moody, sci-fi horror vibe. [April 2011, p.85]- Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)

Looking beyond the kid-friendly presentation, we found a goldmine of fun in this staggeringly deep yet lighthearted civ-management adventure. [Sept 2011, p.87]- Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)

The PSP effort really could've used a little more of the full-sized version's actual evolution. [Dec 2009, p.81]- Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)

Fighting other players online might be new to the portable series, but too much of the game just feels old. [Dec 2010, p.79]- Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)

A poor pace potholes the proceedings...Alice chugs and chugs and chugs. [July 2011, p.84]- Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)

A few game modes and a neat Autolog feature that allows us to challenge friends to score-based competitions keep things interesting for a while, but Crash gets quite stale after a few spins around the block. [Dec 2011, p.77]- Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)

Even the repetitive pacing and level structure can be forgiven, because it's simply fun to annihilate stuff. [Holiday 2009, p.85]- Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)

Rebuilding it using the PS2 game's engine just makes it a much more obvious retread. [Jan 2009, p.83]- Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)

Gameplay-wise, shooting has been simplified with a Circle button hold-and-release, which feels gimped compared to the now almost-standard analog-flipstick of most ballers. [Jan 2009, p.85]- Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)

Final Fantasy Tactic addicts should almost feel right at home. Almost. [Aug 2012, p.81]- Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)

Still, a great selection of familiar characters, weapons, and abilities make the grind semi-rewarding for those willing to stick with it. [Holiday 2011, p.78]- Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)

Although it lacks the surprises or intrigue inherent to most Sting-developed games, Hexyz Force still manages to provide a satisfying experience for on-the-go RPGers. [July 2010, p.85]- Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)

For nearly every aspect of the game, awesomeness comes with a caveat. The shooting mechanics are responsive, intuitive...and annoying as hell. The run-and-gun style works just fine - as long as we never let a bullet touch us. [June 2010, p.66]- Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)
