Undeniably original, but control clumsiness makes this slow-burning curio hard to recommend. [July 2012, p.111]

Cerberus takes a loved franchise and sullies it with a deeply mediocre and uninspiring third-person shooter. [Dec 2006, p.95]

The 'hardcore' tag can't excuse this. Even fans of King of Fighters will feel short-changed. [Nov 2006, p.68]

It doesn't do too much to suggest it's anything more than a Costcutter GTA, but it's a fun nostalgia-soaked affair. [July 2007, p.80]

They might as well call it Dynasty Warriors 7/10 and be done with it. [June 2011, p.93]

Imitates better fantasy RPGs poorly. It's interesting concept is buried under poor story-telling, a lifeless world, and dull combat. [Christmas 2012, p.89]

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

Do yourself a favor and steer clear of this one. [Oct 2007, p.84]

A technical mess, ridden with slowdown and glitches. [Mar 2009, p.74]

Low on strategy, devoid of inspiration, it's the same hack 'n' slashing that got more tired than man in full samurai battledress doing a marathon. [Feb 2007, p.78]

You'd get better interactivity in general from buying his Greatest Hits album and tapping your foot. [Apr 2012, p.109]

Releasing this as FIFA 13 is a decision that borders on scandalous. It's a decent game - but a new one? No chance. [Christmas 2012, p.103]

Hellacious. [Apr 2012, p.107]

Swims in shallow waters. [Apr 2012, p.108]

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

Looks gorgeous, but the obsessive focus on combat can be as irritating as it is exciting. [Aug 2007, p.76]

Despite the variety and potential, at its core Zero Gravity is glitchy and little fun. [Apr 2008, p.82]

Fun for a while. [Christmas 2010, p.88]

Traveller's Tales have no excuse for serving up this steaming pile of Minotaur dung. [Nov 2008, p.84]

It's more bad karaoke compilation than game. [Christmas 2007, p.82]

The presentation feels cheap compared to the "Dancing Stage" games, hard mode is ridiculously difficult at times and it's just nowhere near as fun as "Guitar Hero." [Oct 2006, p.78]

Timewarp RPG sends us to sleep. [May 2008, p.81]

It's a decent enough shooter, but the lack of ideas and fiddly controls - especially through zero-gravity sections - make this a dead cert for the bargain bin. [Aug 2012, p.102]

What a terrible shame, then, that a game with such weird possibilities really does end up being well...typical. [Jan 2007, p.84]

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