    It's just Duke being Duke - stupid but fun. For a while.

    The overall experience could have been that much more rewarding had more attention been paid to the design.

    Overall this game totally rocks. I loved it.

    Everything that the original should have been.

    It's still a decent blast in it's own right, just that it had potential to really excel and be top of it's class so it's a tad disappointing to see it falling short of that.

    At last a decent comic-book conversion that is extremely playable and will even appeal to those who aren't fans of the comic.

    Resident Evil fanatics will probably hate it and call it a travesty, but remove the Resident Evil tag and it's a damn good zombie shooter with a revolutionary control system.

    What is absolutely stunning is the total absence of formulaic gameplay. Even the best video game is somewhat formulaic after a fashion, but UFC is almost entirely unpredictable.

    Dig below the surface however and you'll find the kind of depth that'll take weeks or even months to fully explore. A shameless clone of Sony's "Gran Turismo," and a a pretty good one too.

    This is a surprisingly realistic simulation, and yet its overriding concern is to entertain. Which it does. In spades.

    Removes some of the frustrations of the original game with the 5 extra careers paths, 120 new objects, 50 controllable families and addition of the genie and chemistry set.

    • 79 Critic Score
    It's not just doing the same rack & attack routine that it could have been, the programmers have added well thought-out missions that are good fun.

    If this game was part of a bundle then I might play it again, but only when I was very drunk and had forgotten how poor it was.

    I very much intend to retire from the human race and hibernate with this game.

    Probably the most fun you can have with two people without having to clear up afterwards.

    The audio is wonderful and matches the graphics, though the storyline is fairly pointless, and there's a certain childlike quality to it that could annoy but was fine with me.

    A great disappointment for PlayStation fans everywhere.

    A great game, and one that will keep you entertained for hours, the plot will keep you amused and the various weapons in the game will make for a great action adventure.

    If you've played other wrestling games -- especially "Smackdown" -- you'll find it hard to believe the developers thought they could get away with this.

    A great RTS game with several nice wrinkles to distinguish it from the general morass that has become the norm recently.

    • 91 Critic Score
    As an excellent variation on the throw away RTS culture of the moment, especially for it's potential longevity on my play list and for some pukka explosions!

    • 71 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    A perfectly acceptable blast with a welcome emphasis on mass carnage ahead of the recent trend for more exploration-based titles.

    Nothing short of epic.

    Graphically stunning, packed with features and playability out of the very top drawer.

    It's above average but definitely not the best of mutant breed.
    • Spank!
    • 72 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    This isn't some crappy product, rather, it's an extremely detailed, in depth shooter cum thinker that simply won't appeal to the pure arcade fan.
    • Spank!
    • 77 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    Competently put together, with some lovely graphics at times, but totally lacking in any originality, personality or a reason to buy it.

    • 88 Critic Score
    The game oozes quality like a sponge saturated with some extremely viscous liquid, but it fails on the grounds of lack of innovation and occasional lapses into cliched role-playing game territory.

    I love this game, and want to have its children.

    If you're going to buy one role playing game this year then this has to be it.

    Blending RPG features seamlessly with action elements and wrapping it all up with one of the better narratives to grace a PC game.

    • 74 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    It's not a bad game, but there are many other games of this type that play a lot better and ultimately simulating the large vessels from the "Star Trek" universe is it's undoing.

    Allowing the kind of mass battles that we've previously only dreamed of, this epochal title gives us war and so much more.

    • 60 Critic Score
    It's an RPG, and it's almost indistinguishable from every other RPG on the market. If you like them, you'll like this -- it's big, it's pretty, it's Final Fantasy with a different name.

    • 74 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    If you're an RPG fan you'll enjoy it; just bear in mind you'll need to go online to best experience it.

    Plays the opposition off the park. The best footy sim on the PlayStation, and possibly every other format as well.
    • Spank!
    • 86 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    What is does deliver are moments of pure fun and exhilaration, and I commend it for not trying to be anything other than a pure blast and destruction on a huge scale which is what most of us want to see.

    This is the best looking and most exciting version of "Bust-A-Move" so far.
    • Spank!
    • 97 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Perfect in every way. Except for the manual, which I've burnt along with every other first person shooter in the office games cupboard: there's no point in keeping either now.
    • Spank!
    • 92 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Due to the initial difficulty and a slight repetitiveness on part of the gameplay, it will make you wonder what the fuss is about, but once you do get in and begin to understand the level of customisation the game allows, it'll have you hooked.
    • Spank!
    • 92 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    This is either a kind of gaming nirvana, or it's just a very clever piece of code that masks what is essentially a conservative and ultimately limited game.
    • Spank!
    • 79 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A cracking title, that's so finely tuned and crafted as well as addictive and compelling.
    • Spank!
    • 93 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    A brilliant game in it's own right but doesn't move on enough from the original to justify a bigger score.
