    Buy an amp and start a garage band instead. [Issue#119, p.86]

    • 72 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    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]

    • 71 Metascore

    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]

    • 69 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    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]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 69 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    A contradictory videogame premise that screams frustration from its opening stage, and continues in that vein thereafter. [Issue#71, p.103]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 69 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    The fighting and climbing become exercises in frustration, and there isn't enough depth here. [Issue#83, p.100]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 68 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    As a game though, it's far too uninspiring. [Issue #22, p.88]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 68 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Ill-suited to the 360 platform and massively overpriced. [Issue#71, p.101]

    • 68 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    The eight-angle camera system serves only to confuse players with depressing regularity. [Issue#67, p.103]

    • 67 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    These robots could sure use a little extra life injected into them. [Issue#84, p.104]

    • 67 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    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]

    • 67 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Terrifically boring. [Issue#92, p.84]

    • 66 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    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]

    • 66 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    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!
    • 65 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    A game that sucked in 1982 and amazingly, sucks even more in 2006. [Issue 14, p.116]

    • 65 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    We’ve seen it all before; the bones of the typical Saints Row’s design are creaking under the desire for new experiences.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Button mashing is boring. [Issue#20, p.93]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK

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

    • 65 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    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]

    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]

    • 40 Critic Score
    How so many irritations made it into a game with such an incredible world blows our minds. Should have spent more time in development.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    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]

    • 63 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    It comes up short. [Issue#56, p.105]

    • 63 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    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]
