    With the framerate locked at 30fps the chance of seeing any slowdown is almost zero. [Mar 2007, p.48]

    Looks beautiful but plays like a prawn cracker riding a motorbike. [Mar 2007, p.61]

    Yu-Gi-Oh! fans are getting the most complete game they've had in the series while the rest will all still look at it and wonder what the hell the fuss is about. Definitely one for fans only. [Mar 2007, p.80]

    • 70 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A good game that should improve the more you play, as more moves come out of the closet. [Mar 2007, p.73]

    • 70 Critic Score
    Beautiful to look at but just a bit too slick and fast-paced for its won good. [Jan 2007, p.69]

    • 58 Metascore

    Graphical problems and monotonous gameplay make this another lacklustre entry in the franchise. [Apr 2007, p.64]

    • 78 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    The most heinous of crimes: a real lack of any feeling of speed. No matter whether you are going at a crawl or full tilt with nitrous screaming, the only difference you'll see is a bit of blur on roadside street lights. [Mar 2007, p.56]
    • Pure Magazine UK
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A slick and stylish representation of the sport that makes great use of the Sixaxis tilt function. [Apr 2007, p.60]

    • 80 Critic Score
    Without doubt the best 'real' basketball game to hit the PS3 but is far from unbeatable because every sports game needs that 'pick up and play' factor to get players hooked. [Apr 2007, p.57]
    • Pure Magazine UK
    • 32 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    A cringingly bad game in every way from level layout to AI and controls. Steer well clear. [May 2007, p.85]

    Still some minor glitches, but a much more playable title than the first outing. [May 2007, p.87]

    Some minor issues inherent in all GTA games don't really spoil another slice of ciminal mayhem.

    Fun to play and with a nice warm feeling that it's actually doing your brain some good. [Jan 2007, p.57]

    A vast improvement over the "X-Men" titles, although some may find it a little too simplistic. [Feb 2007, p.83]

    If only there were a longer solo mode and game sharing option, it could have been really ace. [Jan 2007, p.60]

    A lack of depth to the strategy leaves you feeling the license has been wasted on the PSP. [Feb 2007, p.76]

    Even better than the first game, this handheld masterpiece is an essential purchase.
