It has some great ideas, but ruins them with mediocre shooting and a truly shocking frame-rate. [Apr 2008, p.76]

Looks brilliant for a downloadable game and there's tons to unlock too. [Mar 2008, p.80]

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

Pure comedy, if not quite as fun as we'd expected. [Mar 2008, p.80]

Overall perhaps the best party game ever - if a little less cohesive than "Guitar Hero." Still, vital.

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

Dreadful graphics and poor fighting mechanics. [Apr 2008, p.83]

The only thing less desirable than a 2D Star Trek strategy game in this day and age is a Jethro DVD covered in poo. [May 2008, p.79]

Shabby. [Jan 2008, p.66]

There's enough action here to distract, but compared to its peers TimeShift feels outdated.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

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

Uniquely entertaining, if cliched at times. [Jan 2008, p.60]

All the basic mechanics are there, but kinks in the design keep Creed from greatness. [Christmas 2007, p.22]

Still fun and still addictive, but the new grapple styles add little and the old flaws remain. [Dec 2007, p.68]

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

Bland characters, action-by-numbers. Easily the most disappointing game of 2007. [Christmas 2007, p.76]

Mixes superb visuals, a solid fighting system and some heart breaking drama. [Jan 2008, p.78]

A touch repetitive, but a confident, high speed, return to form for Need for Speed. [Christmas 2007, p.62]

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]

A very big, deep 2D scrapper. Not stunning, but worthy. [Aug 2007, p.78]

This is an action game with lots to get your teeth into, but you always feel reigned back by the fiddly controls. [Jan 2008, p.80]

An unavoidably bad game with shoddy design and a lame, thankless combat system. [Christmas 2007, p.68]

Buy it on a handheld. [May 2008, p.80]

Frustrating camera. [Jan 2008, p.76]

Stick to the first game. [Mar 2008, p.80]

Consign it to the scrap heap and be done with it. [Sept 2008, p.79]

Flawed, but if you're a fan of Warhammer, this is worth a look. [Jan 2008, p.80]

Overall Spices up the familiar format with a sprinkling of new ideas. The best Silent Hill game since SH3.
