Often more engaging than its simple puzzles should allow it to be, the presentation and variety of gameplay ideas go a long way to making this an impressive, if small, adventure.

Only those who'll pick up on its knowing secret collection voiceover need apply. [Issue#63, p.101]

Only slightly worse than EA's recent offering, but when there's a choice of two, why would anyone plump for second place? [Issue#38, p.102]

Be A Pro's sideshow trumps the main event, which itself is largely unchanged. [Issue#32, p.86]

Light, silly and undemanding but also surprisingly fun, Blood On The Sand will never compete with the big boys of the shooting genre but it’ll keep you amused more than you may think. It’s worth a look.

A lot of fun in small bursts, but not amount of polish, parkour or persistence can plaster over the cracks of the aging Dead Island mechanics and systems. [Issue#121, p.72]

An accessible platformer that bears more relation to Lemmings and Katamari than it does Mario. [Issue#43, p.114]

It's the ghetto version, which is the polite way of saying it's not quite as good. [Issue 15, p.116]

Beautiful to look at, enjoyable to play, but marred by disappointing aspects that do some harm. Nontheless, Sakaguchi has laid the foundations for an immense RPG franchise. [Issue 23, p.76]

A huge amount of fun. [Issue#52, p.91]

It's so colorful that it's likely to lure people of all ages in and keep them hooked. [Issue#29, p.120]

Newcomers will also find this HD remake easier on the eyes. [Issue#121, p.78]

Combat stages expose some limitations, but the platforming action in DustForce is rock solid and will appeal to lovers of difficult games. [Issue#112, p.86]

The customisation is dense, providing a far greater subjective feel and hte action and simulation comes thick and fast. [Issue 21, p.88]

As a collection of excellent multiplayer mini-games, Thrillville is stunningly good fun. As a cohesive single-player park-management campaign? It's just not quite there. Yet. [Issue 26, p.92]

It's reassuringly simple fare. [Issue#36, p.115]

A fun return to Gotham, even if the mechanics continue to feel weary in the hands of WB. [Issue#112, p.95]

Ultimately, to get the most out of Konami's latest, you're going to need to team up with friends. [Issue#63, p.103]

Just good. [Issue#78, p.82]

There's actually quite a lot to admire here. [Issue#61, p.104]

Enough is enough and it's time for a change. [Issue#65, p.85]

Unbounded has got something recent Ridge Racer games have lost sight of: a sense of unbridled, anarchic fun. [Issue#84, p.80]

FIFA has PES beaten when it comes to attention to presentational detail and atmosphere, but maybe that isn't enough anymore. For flowing football, though, you should look elsewhere. [Issue#130, p.71]

A good game, but both newcomers and Amiga stalwarts will no doubt be put off by the insane pace, which is a pity as there's plenty to enjoy here if you persevere. [Issue 27, p.118]

The beautiful wasteland is incredible to drive around, but leave the Magnum Opus and the excitement dips. This is nearly excellent, but instead is frustrating.

You'll certainly enjoy it, but unlike a gobstopper, it's not going to last you forever. [Issue#20, p.116]

Stunningly beautiful, easy to pick up and ultimately satisfying to play. Shame about the terrible storyline, tediously long missions and a distinct lack of variety. [Issue 26, p.86]

Beware the temperamental difficulty. [Issue#84, p.83]
