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.

Where the game scores low is in the repeated use of cliched fantasy fodder in the shape of the narrative, nomenclature, audio and character portraits.

A lot more difficult than "Ocarina of Time" and not quite as user-friendly.

The twists and turns of the plot are brought to life on screen in a way that leaves you itching to find out what's round the next corner.

Plays the opposition off the park. The best footy sim on the PlayStation, and possibly every other format as well.

There's plenty of challenging levels and the most blinkered PS2 stalwart would have to admit that it looks amazing.

A brilliant game in it's own right but doesn't move on enough from the original to justify a bigger score.

A big, big game with plenty to offer and - I can't emphasize this enough - lots of challenge - but it can be frustrating. Persevere with it, though, and you'll get a lot out of this.

This is the fastest, smoothest, most graphically sumptuous first person shooter available at the moment. Get used to the control method and you will be riveted; Get a mouse and a keyboard and you'll be unstoppable.

Graphically the game is excellent, with crisp, clean characters and some very detailed textures.

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.

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.

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

Witty, knowing, referential, and above all supremely playable, Conker is an absolute corker.

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

A good, solid 3D platformer that won't disappoint fans of the purple dragon, but may leave fans of the genre feeling a little empty.

The action is fast and exciting, the breasts still jiggle and the scene interaction could actually see you saying the word "wow!"

Within the game, you have access to a variety of weaponry such as generic pistols, machine guns, sniper rifles and the Bond style briefcase rocket launcher. Oh yes.

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

It's not the all-encompassing experience of godly power that was suggested. You have to play it in a fairly rigid and organised fashion.

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

The custom options are outstanding and there's tons of hidden stuff to find. The only real drawback are the painfully long loading times.

If they could have added a bit more variety, in terms of plot twists and gameplay structure this could have been a real contender.

Occasionally there is a bit of slowdown, but this is a perfectly fair price to pay for the huge wide-open levels and often stunning scenery and architecture.

If I had to choose my favourite (realistic) racing game, a couple of weeks ago I would have said Colin McRae but now it's most definitely the sequel.

It's not a title with an immediate pull, you'll have to work at it to get something back, but it does present a breath of originality that we've been looking for some time.

One billion points for single handily dragging online RPGs out of a mire of orcs, beards and dreadful graphics. It's repetitive and shallow (kind of) but it's also amazingly beautiful, addictive and - believe it or not - socially rewarding and instructive!

Everything that the original should have been.
