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!

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.

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.

Competently put together, with some lovely graphics at times, but totally lacking in any originality, personality or a reason to buy it.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

A cracking title, that's so finely tuned and crafted as well as addictive and compelling.
