All the usual trimmings are there. [Nov 2009, p.85]

A passable, if unimaginative brawler with decent co-op. [Dec 2009, p.102]

The result is a game that's as informative as the best of documentaries and right up there with the best party games available on console. That's assuming the people in your party like The Beatles of course. Despite the sheen, authenticity, and seminal extras, Rock Band 2 can still hold its head high as the most instantly gratifying and universal game in the series.

A massive let down from a once mighty developer. [Oct 2009, p.83]

Heaps of fun, accessible and gorgeous: but it's a WW2 plane sim. [Oct 2009, p.66]

A fantastic rally game wrapped up in extreme sports presentation. [Oct 2009, p.62]

Another stellar entry in the series then, but not one for newcomers. [Mar 2010, p.88]

Soulcalibur's brutal melee combat works well on PSP, and the multi-player is great. [Oct 2009, p.80]

Not a reinvention but the most thorough and polished GH yet. [Nov 2009, p.90]

An incredible adventure in an amazing setting. Only weak detective bits and boss battles let it down.

Overall A challenging fighter that shows off the PSP's power. Slightly intimidating for non-fans, though.

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

Massively ordinary shooter with a bizarre plot and rubbish AI. [Oct 2009, p.78]

Excellent value and another step forward. [Oct 2009, p.82]

A beautiful and OTT retro title, but one where depth is obscured by effects. [Sept 2009, p.68]

If you want some laid back strategy that won't test your brain or steal from your wallet (it's 7.99), this is a recommended download. [Sept 2009, p.77]

If you're looking to bolster your post-pub tracklist then you can't go wrong with this. [May 2009, p.76]

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

Enormous fun, but let down by poor AI and single-player brevity. [Oct 2009, p.68]

There's no depth or substance, just acres of mindless combat punctuated with the odd lockpick mini-game. [Oct 2009, p.82]

There's no story, no extra modes and merely functional presentation. [Sept 2009, p.77]

Another great PSN title. [Oct 2009, p.83]

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

This well polished, if slightly limited, multi-player game is a steal. [Aug 2009, p.62]

By the end you'll want to unbuckle CID's seatbelt and drive him into the nearest brick wall. [July 2009, p.76]

Fun but short single player, let down by poor online play. [Sept 2009, p.76]

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

A refreshing love letter to the Wild West, but its variety is part curse. [Aug 2009, p.70]
