A steep learning curve, but the satisfaction on offer is immense. [Oct 2008, p.78]

It does make for some great Guitar Hero tracks. [Sept 2008, p.78]

Energetic but shallow. [Nov 2009, p.88]

It all gets a bit dull. [Christmas 2007, p.82]

There's enough action here to distract, but compared to its peers TimeShift feels outdated. [Jan 2008, p.74]

An epic Lego adventure spoiled only by a lack of guidance. [Jan 2010, p.90]

Trimmed down, but still excellent - the gameplay experience is intact, even if the character roster isn't. [Jan 2007, p.80]

As a five-hour solo-player game, it's clearly rental only. For online players the value is far greater - a solid, varied, Call of Duty rival, with fresher weapon load outs, plus vehicles and drones... Shocking but short, this is an intense shooter with a lack of finesse. [Apr 2011, p.66]

More like a third-person shooter and this works to its benefit. [Nov 2007, p.83]

Nasty controls and clumsy visuals mask a truly entertaining game. [Apr 2011, p.76]

Works well with Move, for what it's worth. [Aug 2012, p.105]

There's even bullet time. We kid you not. [Jan 2007, p.84]

Not bad, but not essential. [Mar 2009, p.75]

Will only captivate the very young. [Jan 2010, p.94]

It's simple yet rewarding stuff. [Christmas 2009, p.90]

Despite the dodgy tunes and questionable hair styles it's worth the cash for fans, if only to keep your strum skills strong until "Legends of Rock." [Oct 2007, p.85]

Still compelling, but it was more suited to PSP. [June 2008, p.84]

As a solo game, it's very repetitive. [Apr 2012, p.103]

Even the "fixed" PS3 version can't atone for the game's flaws. [Christmas 2008, p.86]

Fans might feel confused at first, but they won't be disappointed. [Feb 2008, p.78]

It's nothing you haven't seen before, though, and, placed next to the stylish brilliance of "Everyday Shooter," this ultimately lacks the character or variety to make its challenge worth enduring. [Aug 2008, p.81]

None of it's quite enough to stop the repetition getting you in the end. [Feb 2011, p.100]

A solid update: the only things missing are the lack of team talks and crowd sounds. [Christmas 2009, p.90]

Get through the steep learning curve and there's an addictive strategy game underneath. [May 2010, p.96]

It's a bit simple, but the addictive minigames save it. [Jan 2007, p.84]

"Quotation Forthcoming"

Insipidly competent but, sadly, just a bit of a yawn to play. [Aug 2011, p.84]

Far better than the recent PSP and iOS versions, this is Katamari's most fun portable outing to date. More new stuff would have been nice, though. [March 2012, p.91]
