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

A massive disappointment. [Nov 2007, p.78]

A stiff camera and fiddly paltforming frustrate, but this still proves to be a unique, fun experience. [Nov 2007, p.84]

It's a masterpiece of balance, of design, and the jewel in Sony's online crown.

Fun online, but a weak single-player, duff quests and some seriously ropey combat make this a disappointment. [Oct 2007, p.82]

Perfectly decent, but an all-too-familiar outing. For raging/insatiable J-RPG addicts only. [Mar 2008, p.78]

We've done this dozens of times before and replacing bearded Chinese men with robots doesn't change a thing. [Dec 2007, p.82]

A quality golf sim, but "Everybody's Golf 5" takes the major this year. [Nov 2007, p.83]

Combines strategy and shooting to excellent effect. Not perfect, but it really <I>feels</I> like war. [Sept 2007, p.64]

It's all a bit dull. [Dec 2007, p.82]

Polished, completely original and as good as a lot of things that Square Enix have ever done. [May 2008, p.76]

A sweet taste of next-gen NFL, soured somewhat by the fact that the game hates you. [Oct 2007, p.78]

Much better than on PS3. [Oct 2007, p.79]

A near-essential addition to PSP's library. [Aug 2007, p.79]

Laced with enough ingenuity to be worth downloading. [Jan 2008, p.79]

On Dreamcast and PS2 it was slick and colourful. On PSP it's blocky and slow. [Oct 2007, p.84]

It's not a very pleasant experience and there just isn't enough fun to persuade you that you're spending your time wisely. [July 2007, p.84]

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]

It's old-fashioned, but definitely worth playing for a little bit. [May 2008, p.79]

Despite the dodgy tunes and questionable hair styles it's worth the cash for fans, if only to keep your strum skills strong until "Legends of Rock." [Oct 2007, p.85]

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

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

Cute, accessible and fun, but lacking oomph. [May 2007, p.78]

A fantastic game, but a short, limited one. Not really worth the asking price, and not as good as "Gitaroo Man." [May 2007, p.66]

Not just for Rugby experts. [Oct 2007, p.76]

Beats "Madden," but looks ugly doing it. [Dec 2007, p.84]

It's a decent enough shot at the title, but there are better tennis games already on court. [July 2007, p.64]

A perfect example of a generic J-RPG. [July 2008, p.78]
