    Fans of the books will love it, and we wouldn't dissuade anyone else either. [Issue#54, p.89]

    Only the most talented see the credits first time around. [Issue#59, p.104]

    You're far better off simply waiting a short while for Puzzle Quest 2. [Issue#59, p.105]

    A relatively cheap distraction. [Issue#59, p.105]

    We haven't had so much fun with a new Splinter Cell game since 2005's phenomenal Chaos Theory. [Issue#58, p.82]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 40 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Although the game's stealth and combat elements are initially playable, they soon become dull and repetitive due to the uninspiring missions and tedious plot. [Issue#58, p.95]

    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    To complain about Mega Man's difficulty is to miss the point. [Issue#59, p.105]

    Some truly horrendous loading times. [Issue#58, p.94]

    • 80 Critic Score
    As a high-octane action game this is among the best in recent memory. Everything it does falls just the right side of ludicrously fun, so that it's hard to really criticize anything too harshly...Only the tiniest of niggles drag what is an excellent game back to earth. [Issue#56, p.77]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 69 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Not perfect by any means, but solid enough that fans will find enjoyment here. [Issue#57, p.96]

    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Well-adapted to consoles and a lot of fun, Supreme Commander's technical shabbiness and overly nostalgic design are defined by the endearing accessibility of its old school strategy play. [Issue#59, p.97]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It's as fast-paced and addictive as you remember. [Issue#58, p.104]

    • 77 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    In terms of gameplay, this is verging on the depressingly average. [Issue#58, p.88]

    Spectacular. [Issue#58, p.86]

    For all it gets right, it manages to hit the majority of the genre's key problems. [Issue#57, p.94]

    • 63 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    There are much, much better ways to spend 1,200 Points. [Issue#58, p.105]

    Deliciously tactical and exciting, with a sombre mood akin to the ever-wonderful Blackadder Goes Forth. [Issue#58, p.104]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 88 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    An accomplished shooter that just fails to capitalise on the groundwork of its predecessor and offers a shallow and stilted campaign that feels, unfortunately, a bit dated. [Issue#57, p.92]

    • 54 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Nothing more than an interesting curio. [Issue#58, p.105]

    An impressive multiplayer suite. [Issue#57, p.107]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 75 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A poor start, cheating middle and so-so end lead only to disappointment, and confusion over what should have been the primary gimmick. [Issue#56, p.84]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 83 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Provides an experience altogether less pretentious and more accessible than the intensely referential platformer. Which is nice. [Issue#57, p.106]

    Expect to be satisfied and disappointed in equal measure. [Issue#57, p.95]

    A steep learning curve and a complex play style stop it from succeeding. [Issue#53, p.90]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 59 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    It's just not very good at all, even for "fans of the series," as people tend to say. [Issue#56, p.90]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 80 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A bit of a mixed bag, liable to entertain but for reasons that you'll struggle in vain to fathom. [Issue#56, p.104]

    Rarely less than magnificent. [Issue#56, p.80]

    • 73 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Starts off brilliantly but, like a loose thread, it begins to slowly unravel until you're left with just another God Of War clone. [Issue #56, p.78]
