Firing an Uzi is like squeezing off a spongy Nerf gun round. [Christmas 2012, p.96]

Very few people need this product. [Nov 2012, p.98]

Lacking in excitement, polish, star power, and any sort of fun. Avoid this excuse for a movie tie-in. [Oct 2012, p.104]

A potentially interesting idea with inherent problems, which NeverDead completely fails to identify or acknowledge, let alone solve. [March 2012, p.112]

Feels like it's been hiding in the bushes for years, growing old as it waits to spring out on stealth fans. [March 2012, p.92]

A listless, pointless misfire of a game. [Nov 2011, p.106]

Like having your fond arcade memories groped by a ghoul's festering claw. [Sept 2011, p.111]

Uninspiring, repetitive and dull. [Sept 2011, p.104]

A wasted opportunity to show off Move control. [Sept 2011, p.102]

A terrible experience, years behind the competition. [Aug 2011, p.92]

Everything we expected and less. Duke should have stayed dead. [Aug 2011, p.88]

Consistently miserable. [Aug 2010, p.96]

It ends up feeling dreary. [Aug 2010, p.97]

Technically inept and morally desolate. [Sept 2010, p.94]

If only the gameplay was better. [Aug 2010, p.96]

Avoid. [July 2010, p.96]

A cynical, sterile attempt to ? og cash out of Ski Sunday fans.

Fans will squeeze out some fun but this is the laziest GH yet. [Mar 2010, p.88]

A slow, ugly, repetitive descent into block boredom. [Sept 2010, p.94]

Play it for the trophies, if you must. [Jan 2010, p.94]

The worst Star Wars game ever, and that's really saying something. [Christmas 2009, p.84]

There's humour and effort here, but not much in the way of fun. [Christmas 2009, p.94]

An unsatisfying mix of psychedelic visuals and gameplay. [Christmas 2009, p.93]

Massively ordinary shooter with a bizarre plot and rubbish AI. [Oct 2009, p.78]

There's no depth or substance, just acres of mindless combat punctuated with the odd lockpick mini-game. [Oct 2009, p.82]

By the end you'll want to unbuckle CID's seatbelt and drive him into the nearest brick wall. [July 2009, p.76]

Unless you're desperate for more DW action, leave this alone. [Aug 2009, p.77]

One of 2009's worst movie tie-ins proves boring beyond salvation. [July 2009, p.72]

Dumb AI, stupidly linear, crap guns... a disaster. [May 2008, p.79]
