The swine stealth offers welcome variety but skulking is not as much fun as manipulating time, and a wayward camera becomes annoying.

A sluggish camera is annoying when speed is required but completing the 100 stages is still very satisfying.

Another game based on a blockbuster movie, The Incredibles is an entertaining family offering with plenty of variety, but lacks the polish of the spectacular new film.

A frisky concept with limited thrills and not enough depth to challenge gamers.

Not what you might expect from Disney, Spectrobes is initially refreshing but quickly becomes dull.

The difficulty level is accommodating for youngsters, although the controls can be unwieldy. Sadly, the fun is short-lived, with no multi-player modes or replay appeal.

While the game is well put together I have to question whether this franchise is a good fit. With only two films' worth of content to work with it's clear TT had to really stretch to get this much stuff out of The Incredibles, and that lack of depth doesn't do any favours for the obviously ageing Lego format that's been largely unchanged for more than a decade.

An uninspired shift to first-person saps this Commandos instalment of that special strategic touch.

The solo campaign lacks the pizazz of other military shooters, but decent multiplayer options prevent it from feeling pilotless.

But beyond the odd wild ride on the back of a beast, negotiating the levels is a tame affair. This could prove frustrating for some, as the level of difficulty is often unbalanced.

Controlling the wild camera often proves the trickiest exercise of all and there is little freedom to explore.

Outsmarting enemies is not difficult when they are so myopic and stupid. Often just shooting adversaries, then hiding until the hullabaloo ends, is as successful a strategy as implementing a complex and cunning plan.

While Street 2 is appealingly approachable, it gets monotonous, particularly for owners of the original. Solo modes are dull and arduous.

The linearity is a shame given the dearth of quality games for girls and the potential of more free-form interactive novels.

It feels much more suited to a low-priced download such as Xbox Live Arcade's "Marble Blast Ultra" rather than a $79 [AU] release.

Unfortunately, the line-up is just as likely to annoy retro fans as please them, with many of these 20 games from the late '80s offering little more than curiosity value. Some were poor-quality clones when they were originally released and today are unplayable.

Even at its best Crackdown 3 feels like a big chest of explosive, physics-driven toys to play with in a playground that's left wanting.

While Samurai Jack is an enjoyable adventure for youngsters, it is also wearingly generic and disappointingly brief.

The switch to third-person perspective is unwelcome as Goren awkwardly lumbers and can even become stuck, marching on the spot. Other frustrating technical glitches abound.

Computer opponents aren't too stupid and each player is represented by an on-screen character.

But beyond the odd wild ride on the back of a beast, negotiating the levels is a tame affair. This could prove frustrating for some, as the level of difficulty is often unbalanced.

The artificial intelligence controlling both your teammates and the enemy isn't anything special; they usually just remain firing in one position until you manage to take them out, leading to repetitive fire fights.

Most of the game is set on a moving train, ensuring the locations are very limited but your fellow travellers are intriguing.

A big selection of different events suggests variety but the action soon becomes repetitive. Full Auto's main competitor, Burnout, offers significantly more diversity in its challenges.

What scuppers a lot of the enjoyment here is the flakey artificial intelligence of the enemies and the sheer willpower needed to persist through many of the technical glitches.

The only thing blazing will be the tail section of your plane and your fragile patience.

It may lack challenge, but it's a decent start for newcomers who won't be thrown to the simulation lions.

It faithfully captures tactics and the energetic pace, with speed and strategic use of cover of equal importance to shooting accuracy.
