Technically competent, but a woeful simulation of a sport consistently ignored by gaming. This won't help... [Nov 2011, p.107]

Tired, inconsistent and just plain ugly. [Sept 2008, p.78]

The one-note level design fails to inspire. [Mar 2011, p.96]

The slowest, most arthritic shooter in the West. [July 2009, p.76]

Let down by enormous technical failings and a plot that's riddled with lazy, confusing cliches and poorly translated dialogue. [Oct 2011, p.104]

Every slasher on PS3 is better than this, even "Genji." A ropey "God of War" tribute act. [Dec 2007, p.80]

Looks new and feels old, a game good in its own time but not in ours. Now it's starting to look as old and creaky as some of its skaters. [Oct 2012, p.102]

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

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

Getting from one point on the map to another uses about six brain cells, leaving the rest to bitch about the boring weapons and enemies. [Nov 2007, p.83]

A crushing disappointment for fans of the book and film. Oh, and gamers generally, too. [Jan 2008, p.76]

It's 2010's most uninspired shooter. Only with Bond in it. [Jan 2011, p.86]

Bomberman Land just blows. [May 2008, p.78]

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

Frustrating camera. [Jan 2008, p.76]

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

The gaming equivalent of rocking in a corner sucking your thumb - comforting at first, but repetitive and the behaviour of those who are soft in the head. [June 2008, p.85]

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

A dreadful camera. [Oct 2006, p.86]

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

A rushed, conceptual mess. Even as a kid-pleasing movie tie-in, it's barely acceptable stuff. [Mar 2009, p.74]

There's no real fun to be had. [Oct 2007, p.85]

LGEC works, just, but there's really 'neigh' ponit in playing it. [Sept 2007, p.80]

You could suffer in the hope of a smirk or you could just buy the DVDs. Giggity-goo! Etc. [Christmas 2006, p.80]

Unfortunately, the game's biggest strength is also its downfall. It stays true to the pace and mechanics of the real game. [Nov 2008, p.84]

It has a certain nostalgia, but this fails to entertain long enough to demand a purchase. [Feb 2008, p.72]

The real problem is that this is half-decent action meets seriously sub-par presentation. [Sept 2009, p.76]

The game is slow-moving and badly lacks atmosphere. [Mar 2007, p.78]
