The shaded graphics lend the outing a moody and otherworldly air, while many of the puzzles dotted around the levels are refreshingly cryptic. This may not be an epic game, but it is a satisfying spine-chiller all the same.- Times Online

Watery additions aside, the rest of the game is pretty much business as usual. The parks need cleaners and repairmen to keep the rides running, and the punters need well-placed ATMs and stalls to shop at.- Times Online

The game is at its best when played online or across large networks, since real opponents can be ingenious and make better fidgety targets.- Times Online

A classic case of style over substance, being little more than a glossy advertisement for the film.- Times Online

For all the nice touches, however, the shockingly poor artificial intelligence lets down Cold Winter badly, and the game is unlikely to offer serious players any real challenge.- Times Online

The FPS game definitely needs revitalising by something new and original. This isn’t it.- Times Online

But the really ingenious element is the Drivatar AI, in which the computer learns your driving technique.- Times Online

Wrestling fans will be disappointed by the vagueness of the controls, while Streetfighter types have far more fast-moving titles to choose from. An interesting failure.- Times Online

The game’s greatest strength, along with its smoothness and superbly rendered backdrops, is its appeal to both newcomers and hardened hands.- Times Online

The mechanics are competent, but it is the characterisations, especially the wooden delivery of some lines, that let the game down. On the plus side, the ample options include a story mode, multiplayer clash modes and a mission designer to open up replay values.- Times Online

Graphically impressive, to the point where those prone to sea-sickness should stay away, and the dark bowels of the ship provide an eerily effective gaming environment.- Times Online

All this action is complemented by superb graphics and effects that really put across the bone-crunching pain of the competitors.- Times Online

Decent graphics that hold up smoothly in the height of fighting, plus atmospheric cut-scenes, great locations and superb sound effects all measure up to a memorable, if utterly exhausting, experience.- Times Online

Combinations become instinctive and defence second nature. Throw in an engrossing career mode, as well as the facility to create your own boxer, and you finally have a heavyweight boxing game.- Times Online

Although some of the voice acting creaks, the peasants who sound like Goon Show rejects are surprisingly entertaining.- Times Online

Well-meaning if not masterful, this is clearly a game for children rather than older players.- Times Online
