    • 60 Critic Score
    Terribly average as a single-player campaign when compared with the high standards set recently by other, better games. [Apr 2008, p.82]

    Quite short. [Issue#74, p.89]

    We guarantee that you'll be bored with what this has to offer after a couple of hours. [Issue#70, p.101]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 72 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    An excellent and fairly innovative combat system find itself hamstrung by a frustrating cast and grinding that...well, grinds. [Issue#46, p.85]
    • 61 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The experience is rather decent, even if its unforgiving nature can grate on occasion. [Issue#74, p.101]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Still the same accessible knockabout it always was, but growing a little too familiar.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Can only be recommended for fighting game addicts or Achievement hunters. [Issue#94, p.84]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 69 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Without that imaginative hook, this is just a game about men in silly hats jumping around. [Issue#60, p.106]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 65 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It's not a complete car crash by any means but Black Knight Sword's refreshing setting can't conceal the loose combat, disjointed difficulty and overall lack of ambition. [Issue#94, p.86]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 51 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    There's much to enjoy and Ubisoft does incorporate one or two nifty ideas. Sadly, though, we've seen it all before. [Issue 27, p.97]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 55 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It conveys the atmosphere and mystery of the show and gives you plenty to think about. [Issue#31, p.91]

    • 57 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Unlike other coin-op conversions on Live, the online experience is virtually flawless and lag-free. [Issue 21, p.116]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 68 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    There's online co-op available too, but, unlike Sonic's outing, we feel it would be hard pushed to attract many beyond-nostalgia hunters. [Issue#24, p.100]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 74 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Even with its low-gravity exploits, it's leagues behind the other loot shooter out this year. [Issue#118, p.67]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 62 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The options and tracks are too few and shallow to compete. [Issue#48, p.84]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 75 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    An initially tidy-looking little puzzler spoilt by the very nature of what it actually depicts. [Issue 27, p.116]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 48 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Yes it's a typical movie license, but that's not to say that Eragon won't appeal to gamers that like simple gameplay. [Issue 15, p.91]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 68 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    As far as strategy goes, it's pretty simplistic stuff. [Issue#23, p.98]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    At points beautiful, depressing, enthralling and utterly dull. [Issue#73, p.78]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 80 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It's arcadey enough to be fun but engine issues and a confusing UI and missions bring it down. [Issue#50, p.91]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 66 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    While Blazing Angels certainly looks the part, the rest of the game doesn't really follow suit. The aircraft are great to control but the game just doesn't feel as epic as it should. [Issue#5, p.100]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 68 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Ninja Blade is fun, but it’s fun that wears thin very quickly and when it’s gone you’re left with a game that’s shallow, repetitive, and can quickly become annoying and frustrating.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    As good as some of the games in this package are, these golden memories come with a price tag to match.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Struggles to implement its idea with any real purpose and falls completely flat towards the end. There's definitely fun to be had, but don't really expect too much. [Issue 27, p.88]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 68 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A pleasantly relaxing evening's worth of entertainment. [Issue#67, p.102]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 61 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    With its core gameplay kept from the original, this sequel makes no attempt to reinvent any wheels. Enjoyable, yet unfulfilling. [Issue#66, p.82]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 51 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Something about playing Yie Ar Kung Fu makes us feel all warm and fuzzy inside. [Issue#24, p.101]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 57 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Those hoping for improvements will be left disappointed. [Issue#98, p.76]

    • 60 Critic Score
    Should have concentrated on being a master of one trade, and not a jack of all. What’s there is accessible and fun, but largely between friends. The inevitable sequel should be better.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    While 08 offers greater accessibility to novices, we can’t help but feel it’s had a troubled development and ends up making little improvement.
