Worth checking out for online and the sci-fi novelty value alone. [Jan 2013, p.95]

Fundamentally no different to the PS2 game, though still worth playing if you're new to Round 3. [Feb 2007, p.56]

You'll be hard pressed to find a beat-'em-up that feels as frenetic as this. [Dec 2007, p.82]

The idea of having the custom-character system working across the entire gme is a solid one, and the improvement in team-mate behaviour makes the single-player mode easier to digest. But as a sequel, Vegas 2 fails to deliver. [Apr 2008, p.58]

It's a tactical treat and a rather more accessible experience than previous games. [Christmas 2007, p.82]

It's the perfect pick up and play title for strategically minded PSP owners. [Dec 2009, p.78]

Actual strategy may be negligible, but there's a slick arcade title waiting for anyone wishing to drop anchor. [Feb 2009, p.84]

An excellent history lesson for anyone who's finished AC Brotherhood. [Jan 2011, p.88]

A perfect example of a generic J-RPG. [July 2008, p.78]

Fast and frantic, and great fun with friends. The price irons out the flaws. Get it. [July 2007, p.82]

More challenging and rewarding than many PS3 titles, the only alarm triggered here is Ubi's lack of effort with the update. [Nov 2011, p.101]

More intuitive controls. [May 2011, p.92]

A frustrating mix of the brilliant and the deeply average. [Nov 2006, p.64]

The gunplay is astonishingly entertaining, but Stranglehold sorely lacks any variety. [Nov 2007, p.70]

The puzzles are fun and inventive. [Dec 2009, p.102]

Ranked matches in particular will supply wonderfully tense rounds. [June 2009, p.76]

Good fun, but we long for a proper PS3 sequel. [Oct 2010, p.96]

Smart Lego puzzler only held back by sometimes lacklustre films. [July 2011, p.84]

"Quotation Forthcoming"

DQ and FF do things better than Rogue Galaxy but if you've finished both this will fill a hole. [June 2007, p.74]

But this hardly matters, because this is time well spent, being gently humoured and greatly entertained. Like a candy-induced sugar rush, it's short but sweet, and liable to induce lots of hysterical giggling.

Web Rushing makes you feel full-on super-powered. Although clumsy interior sections shatter the illusion, this is almost Spider-Man's Arkham. [Sept 2012, p.98]

Few titles on the PSP can match its online content. [Apr 2010, p.96]

Overall Fun, but Darksiders fails to carve out an original identity of its own.

The fighting's solid but hamstrung by dodgy controls and a terrible career mode. [July 2009, p.66]

Crude, simple, and really good fun to boot. [Dec 2009, p.102]

Feels great in co-op, but it's hit and miss when playing alone. [Dec 2011, p.105]

Customisation options make this the best AC yet, but it's not very user-friendly. [July 2007, p.76]
