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

    While it doesn't do anything wrong, it's impossible to take the plot seriously. [Issue#66, p.89]

    There's no denying the rodent's getting a little arthritic in his old age. [Issue#86, p.103]

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

    Perfectly technically sound. [Issue#61, p.104]

    It's pretty much everything you'd expect. [Issue#52, p.105]

    • 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
    • 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
    • 61 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Dull and frustrating. [Issue#49, p.88]

    • 61 Metascore

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

    • 61 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A fun little brawler with an addictive and fast-flowing feel. [Issue#51, p.104]

    • 60 Critic Score
    Without the Ferrari license, Test Drive's latest does the bare minimum that a racing game should do, but it still gives you access to some stunning cars and fun races. [Issue#88, p.79]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 61 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It has a number of undemanding, unwieldy and confusing design choices that make the experience incredibly forgettable. Fun for an hour. [Issue#54, p.82]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 61 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    There's actually quite a lot to admire here. [Issue#61, p.104]

    Plodding. [Issue#123, p.78]

    • 61 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    This would bridge any boredom gap for gamers not obsessed with shooting things. [Issue#60, p.107]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 61 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    You can ignore the smoke and mirrors for a while, but there's just no substance. [Issue#91, p.64]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 61 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Insanely hard. [Issue#24, p.101]

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

    • 61 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Competent, if a little aged, but also an excellent sedative. [Issue#87, p.85]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 60 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The tech largely works and the games range from great to average. It's certainly not amazing and lacks longevity, but it's still a good indication of the Kinect goodness to come.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It'll never hit a home run, but it does an all right job of passing the time between better games. [Issue#74, p.85]

    • 50 Critic Score
    It might be better than Risen, but Dark Waters is constrained by its PC roots and hampered by inconsistent design and a truly awful engine. [Issue#89,p.84]

    A half-finished game. [Issue#128, p.80]

    Platforming doesn't get more generic than this. [Issue#40, p.102]

    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.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    The inherent ropey nature of this tie-in can't be ignored. [Issue#75, p.85]

    Warning: highly addictive. [Issue#98, p.70]

    It’d be unfair to criticise Ryse too much since, at least Crytek is trying something new. The combat could be better, but the Roman setting does feel fresh.
