A poor effort that simultaneously shows up EA's footballing naivety and its rampant capitalism. It will sell like the proverbial hot cake, but don't say we didn't warn you. [Issue 7, p.100]

Couldn't feel much more dated if it tried. [Issue#76, p.102]

At least you don't use the right analogue stick to aim. [Issue#36, p.114]

A fundamentally flawed and boring RPG, Enchanted Arms might be steeped in Japanese charm but without any sense of fun or involvement, there's no reason to buy this. [Issue # 11, p.84]

A contradictory videogame premise that screams frustration from its opening stage, and continues in that vein thereafter. [Issue#71, p.103]

The fighting and climbing become exercises in frustration, and there isn't enough depth here. [Issue#83, p.100]

As a game though, it's far too uninspiring. [Issue #22, p.88]

Ill-suited to the 360 platform and massively overpriced. [Issue#71, p.101]

The eight-angle camera system serves only to confuse players with depressing regularity. [Issue#67, p.103]

These robots could sure use a little extra life injected into them. [Issue#84, p.104]

Tired, completely lacking in variety and without any substatial replay value to speak of, Rayman Raving Rabbid breaks all three golden rules of the successful party game. [Issue#20, p.88]

Terrifically boring. [Issue#92, p.84]

Put simply, there are deeper tactical outings, more sociable games of skill, and many Live Arcade titles more enjoyable than this. Go and buy one of htose instead. [Issue#34, p.116]

A strange one, this. Fun to play with friends for a while, but the questions range from interesting to just plain stupid, and this really should be DLC. That’s what DLC is for!

A game that sucked in 1982 and amazingly, sucks even more in 2006. [Issue 14, p.116]

We’ve seen it all before; the bones of the typical Saints Row’s design are creaking under the desire for new experiences.

Button mashing is boring. [Issue#20, p.93]

Extremely boring. [Issue#101, p.80]

It's not awful, but splicing these two series together adds no value for fans of either one. It is both an inferior Walking Dead game and an inferior Escapists. [Issue#130, p.82]

Tat. [Issue#5, p.120]

All in all, a shame. [Issue#55, p.105]

No attempt at making its single-player outing more interesting than exhibition matches also stinks. [Issue#23, p.97]

We accept that there’s some who’ll like this. You know who you are and you know you’re not the majority. Listen up majority, it is you to whom we speak.

The basic framework of the combat is acceptable, but really...nah. [Issue#48, p.99]

How so many irritations made it into a game with such an incredible world blows our minds. Should have spent more time in development.

What should be exhilarating, fast-paced and exciting turns out to be boring, samey and unbalanced to the point of being broken. [Issue#68, p.89]

It comes up short. [Issue#56, p.105]

A few good missions ultimately wrecked by lame and/or pointless missions. [Issue#20, p.90]

There are much, much better ways to spend 1,200 Points. [Issue#58, p.105]

Not atrocious but lacks any sense of originality and is far too tedious. [Issue#46, p.87]

Another low-grade offering. [Issue#34, p.117]

A rather depressing waste of money. [Issue#73, p.88]

Backgammon is the worst game in the world. [Issue#23, p.97]

It's fun for a couple of hours, but the novelty wears off. [Issue#123, p.84]

An utterly inoffensive third-person shooter. [Issue#117, p.83]

Madness. [Issue#23, p.97]

There are much better alternatives. [Issue#53, p.95]

It doesn't work nearly as well on the 360 as it has in the past. Shame. [Issue 8, p.94]

About as fun as chiseling "HATE" into your eyes with a scalpel. [Issue 10, p.106]

Mind-numbingly boring. [Issue#23, p.97]

Dull and frustrating. [Issue#49, p.88]

Broken, overly repetitive and frustrating to play. [Issue#78, p.89]

Plodding. [Issue#123, p.78]

Painfully dull gameplay. [Issue#75, p.82]

The inherent ropey nature of this tie-in can't be ignored. [Issue#75, p.85]

It's just dull and not really what your console was created for. [Issue#34, p.117]

Terrible stuff, and what’s more quite predictably so. The problem’s made worse by how much better things would be if its fat was simply trimmed. Oh Sonic, where art thou?

Gone are the days when it was acceptable to include hour-long levels and no checkpoints. [Issue#31, p.92]

Offers little more than the free trial vision can provide. [Issue#93, p.88]

The trouble is, said hints can appear superimposed over the play area, reducing play to a highly distracting farce. [Issue#57, p.107]

If you must play one, go back a few games. [Issue#48, p.87]

The game appreciates boredom in a way that we never could. [Issue#32, p.89]

It's just not very good at all, even for "fans of the series," as people tend to say. [Issue#56, p.90]

God of War minus the imagination, plus inordinate amounts of the colour green. [Issue#74, p.89]

Basically, Bionicle Heroes completely fails to engage us on any level. [Issue 14, p.84]

Poor controls. [Issue#92, p.88]

Disappointing isn't the word. What is the word...Lazy? Rubbish? It's probably a word we can't print. [Issue 13, p.90]

Here's a list of things that this is less interesting than: rubber gloves, garden peas, Spam and watching paint dry (of course). [Issue 26, p.117]

Simply too boring to even consider a rental. [Issue#75, p.84]

An annoying platform/adventure hybrid that fails to utilise its fictional universe effectively. [Issue#67, p.84]

Steer clear. [Issue#64, p.103]

Simply put, this is cynical, poorly playtested nonsense that's seriously due an MOT. Geddit? [Issue 27, p.96]

The levels that you fly through have all been seen a hundred times before. [Issue 28, p.118]

Things couldn't get more generic unless there was somehow stealth, crates and a space marine superhero involved. [Issue#32, p.117]

Offers a smaller and less entertaining variety of workout than its fellow Kinect fitness titles. [Issue#66, p.93]

You're far better off simply waiting a short while for Puzzle Quest 2. [Issue#59, p.105]

There are much better games out there for the same audience. [Issue#44, p.84]

Do yourself a favor and get Costume Quest instead. [Issue#67, p.105]

Inescapably dull and tedious. [Issue#32, p.118]

A shame in so many ways. Avoid, unless you like boredom.

It's an improvement on staring out the window. [Issue#91, p.78]

When the camera decides to point at nothing its problems are inexcusable. [Issue#53, p.94]

Awfully disappointing spin-off that insults on practically every level. The developers at Krome deserve to be punished, just like we were when playing this. [Issue 27, p.95]

Fiddly controls. [Issue#51, p.105]

If you hadn't seen the price tag, you'd wonder what all the internet furore had been about. [Issue#45, p.100]

[An] abomination. [Issue#29, p.117]

It's also insanely easy and offers no lasting challenge. [Issue 27, p.117]

Beenox deliver a buggy, messy game that misses the essence of Spider-Man by a wide margin. Here’s hoping Activision entrusts the popular licence to another developer for the inevitable sequel.

Both a poor update and an unwieldy, near-cheating videogame overall. [Issue#73, p.101]

We were both bored and angered by it. [Issue#79, p.100]

A pointless, unfinished, unpolished, joyless, broken experience.

Feels like an unfinished game. [Issue#57, p.97]

Bizarrely this Hulk game isn’t as much fun as Hulk: Ultimate Destruction, and it wasn’t exactly brilliant anyway. You’re best off just watching the film and leaving this alone.

Motocross has so much more to offer than this dire racer. [Issue#84, p.87]

Nothing more than an interesting curio. [Issue#58, p.105]

An utter waste of time and you money, please ensure this unambitious racer never enters your 360. [Issue 13, p.88]

It's a complete knock-off, filled with bland mini-games. [Issue#32, p.118]

The fighting is okay, a few design decisions commendable, but ultimately there is just not enough great game here. Tiny levels with nothing in them? Looks like we are the ones being golden fleeced.

A perfectly functional motorbike game that might appeal to cast-iron fans, Ride is otherwise a dull, dry, missed opportunity, which totally fails to capture the joy of two wheels. [Issue#125, p.86]

The lack of challenge only adds to the boredom. In every way, Army Of Two: The Devil’s Cartel is an embarrassment to videogames...Not just boring, but exactly the kind of ‘violence for violence‘s sake’ dross the anti-videogame lobbyists dredge up at the arrival of each new atrocity.

Does Microsft not realise how insulting it is to release past free flash games as pay-to-download XBLA content? [Issue#37, p.116]

Another Live Arcade offering that would be better replicated with pen and pad. [Issue#44, p.99]

It's quickly frustrating. [Issue#77, p.91]

Rubbish, boring combat. [Issue 27, p.99]

To make matters worse, you can spin blocks once they hit the bottom of the well or other blocks, meaning that the skill is lessend further. [Issue 27, p.118]

Very pretty to look at and a lot of attention has been paid to female anatomy, but it has no substance whatsoever. [Issue 15, p.82]

It's bad...Even the Achievements suck. [Issue 18, p.85]

It's looking a bit on the tired side. Great music though. [Issue#25, p.118]
