A total waste of a disc and DVD case in our eyes, Samurai Warriors 2 does nothing that comparable games don't do an awful lot better. Definitely one to be avoided. [Issue 12, p.94]

Decent fantasy fare with loads going on an loot drops aplenty. [Issue#91, p.80]

Not for fans of videogames. [Issue 23, p.78]

Quite simply, this would have been struggling for a decent mark on Live Arcade. One strong concept does not a game make.

There's a crude leveling system. [Issue #81, p.103]

It just isn't particularly good. [Issue#84, p.86]

The tactical pace of events will ensure you won't feel ripped off, making this an inoffensive enough waste of time for fans of the genre or the Final Fantasy series. [Issue#45, p.101]

The boredom of playing as this droid isn't helped by the drab nature of the game's design. [Issue#70, p.100]

If you need an excuse to return to Dead Rising 3 then this first DLC pack might just be it, don't expect to be blown away though. [Issue#108, p.94]

None of it feels much like Resident Evil. [Issue#84, p.85]

Spectra's a fine little racer that'll help kill time while you wait for a download. If just a couple of niggles had been ironed out and changed however, this could have been much better. [Issue#127, p.82]

Yes, it should have been a Live Arcade release, but its price, plethora of game modes and the fact that the original tune is included, means puzzle fans should definitely give it a whirl. [Issue#20, p.92]

Probably not the worst tower defence game anywhere ever, but certainly the worst we recall playing on Live Arcade. [Issue#84, p.104]

Even if you're a fan of the TV series, the dullness just isn't worth it. [Issue#87, p.86]

Poor dialogue and slightly dated graphics are made up for by thumping combat and comic battles. [Issue#30, p.92]

The main problem is the fact that there's just not much to it. A complete lack of depth means after just an hour or two of play, you'll be done with it. [Issue#72, p.101]

This would be embarrassing on a Dreamcast, let alone the hulking next-gen monster console we call Xbox 360. This is not a next-gen game and it's not fun either. [Issue 8, p.98]

More fun than being tortured and killed, but still not really much of an advertisement for 13th Century living. [Issue#73, p.87]

It suffers greatly from frustrating puzzle design. The jokes don't often land, either. [Issue#128, p.78]

A great concept with potential, torn to pieces by bland shooting, horrid dialogue and frustrating design. Swordplay can be fun but there's little else to enjoy. [Issue#82, p.88]

A depressingly mundane FPS, never once striving for greatness and seemingly happy to settle for faceless mediocrity. Another letdown when we hoped for so much more. [Apr 2008, p.86]

There are good ideas here, but too much bogging them down. [Issue#97, p.66]

Ultimately fairly soulless. [Issue#68, p.101]

Shame there's no paddle, though. [Issue#36, p.114]

Unresponsive and inaccurate. [Issue#72, p.101]

It never raises its excitement levels above 'pleasant' or 'slightly dull," but Where The Wild Things Are remains a solid enough movie game. [Issue#55, p.93]

It can't hide its budget nature, presenting strategy fans with irksome gameplay, ugly visuals and an overall lack of polish or thought. This is a mess. [Issue#97, p.76]

Fun and accessible, Sacred 3 is an action-RPG for those that haven't yet delved into the genre. It's not perfect, but it's deep, tactical and extremely stabby. [Issue#115, p.81]
