A port of much style, but little substance. [Feb 2007, p.78]

An enjoyable puzzler, but a haphazard port. Big shame. [Mar 2011, p.96]

While the sword-slashing provies a bit of fun, glitchy graphics and repetitive action sever any lasting appeal. [Sept 2006, p.68]

Basic stuff, plus some monster riding. Ho hum. [Christmas 2007, p.82]

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

Showing its age in terms of ingenuity. Shame. [Oct 2007, p.84]

It just lacks a strong personality or story. [Nov 2007, p.84]

Satifactory in plot and longevity, while pleasing to the eye thanks to the 3D game engine. But so what? it's not special. [Sept 2006, p.85]

Ideal for youngsters old enough to shoot things but too young for blood and guts. Fun, but flawed. [Christmas 2006, p.96]

Entertaining enough to capture your king for a bit. [July 2008, p.78]

It's a teeny Burnout! [Nov 2009, p.92]

A hobbled World Tour mode and repetitive action kill the fun. [June 2011, p.80]

A rare duff year for EA's series. Grab "Midnight Club: LA" instead. [Christmas 2008, p.76]

The awkward style makes for a fantasy adventure that's difficult to believe in. [Apr 2010, p.96]

Faintly competent. [Sept 2011, p.105]

There's no excuse for the clumsy control system that saps the joy from the experience. [Jan 2008, p.79]

Golf games need soul to appeal - and ProStroke really hasn't got any. [Oct 2006, p.87]

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

Just make sure the folk you get to play this with you are both young and undemanding. [Jan 2008, p.78]

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

Ignore the gore and this is an average shooter. [Feb 2008, p.78]

Fans will love its authenticity but it lacks the cross generational appeal of the source material. [Aug 2009, p.76]

It's better than Tony Hawk: RIDE, which isn't really saying much. [Christmas 2010, p.90]

Boss battles and ring collecting competitions are used to pad out the action, both of which are frustrating rather than fun and seem out of place with the rest of the game. [Jan 2008, p.80]

Solid, playable and enjoyable - but its world is just a bit too hackneyed to care about. [Apr 2012, p.107]

Slow-witted camera, idiotic targeting system and abysmal vehicle sections. [Oct 2009, p.82]

The combat system is clever. [Mar 2010, p.89]

Shame the fighting's bum - collision detection is terrible, there's no sense of impact and shooting feels weedy. But we love the setting and the environments look lovely, with some nice lighting effects. [Oct 2007, p.84]
