A better game than Assassin's Creed II, albeit one with extra niggles to contend with. [Jan 2011, p.]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

Technically messy but definitely likeable. It's fun, satisfying, and silly schlock-horror.- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

A furious and intense shooter that just won't let up - even when it probably should. [Issue#98, p.95]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

Of the three Naruto games on Xbox 360, this definitely gets the bronze. [Issue#98, p.89]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

Quite probably the most repellently cutesy kid's game ever to grace the Xbox. Coochie-poo! [Issue#98, p.105]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

Bland story mode meets sensational multiplayer. If you're not online, you can safely deduct 20%. [Issue#98, p.77]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

A questionable franchise makes for an awkward game. It's not terrible, just utterly miserable. [Issue#98, p.105]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK
Posted Dec 25, 2010 -
- Critic Score
Ambitious but flimsy, and on 360 it lacks the one Tiger-beating weapon in its arsenal. [Issue#98, p.90]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK
Posted Dec 25, 2010 -
- Critic Score
An uninspired slog with weak characters and messy action. But mech fans are masochists. [Issue#98, p.92]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK
Posted Dec 25, 2010 -
- Critic Score
An acquired taste, and horribly aged, but the ultra camp bloodletting isn't especially poor. [Issue#98, p99]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

- Critic Score
Ballsier, brassier and better than anyone could have expected - including Obsidian. [Issue#98, p.82]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK
Posted Dec 25, 2010 -
- Critic Score
Needed to feel more brutal, but still a very accessible fighter made by fans of the sport. [Issue#98, p.86]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK
Posted Dec 25, 2010 -

Shaun White's foray into defrosted gameplay is silly, lacking depth, but frequently fun. [Issue#98, p.69]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

Switch off your critical faculties and there's a decent enough weekend rental here. [Issue#98, p.104]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

It's a stonking sports game, but even the commentary repeats lines from old version. [Issue#98, p.90]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

This is hardcore fighting perfection, given a light polish. One for Fighter fans bored of SFIV. [Issue#98, p.88]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

Everything you ever wanted from a music title, and so much more besides. It doesn't matter how you want to play Rock Band 3, just know that you really do need to play it.- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

Decent but hackneyed hack-and-slashery, and still a way off feeling comfortable on Xbox.- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

Black Bean has secured the licence for three years and we're sure they'll make the most of it eventually. This is just a foundation from which they can build. Little more.- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

Enslaved is a rare game: a title with shades of Beyond Good & Evil great-ness set in a decimated world that's genuinely striking to explore. You'll have played better adventures before, but you'll be hard pressed to name a more captivating one.- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

A mildly entertaining fantasy yarn tragically coded by a team without any 360 experience. [May 2010, p.102]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK
-
- Critic Score
A more arcade-like play and much better than last year. Still a distant second to FIFA, though. [Dec 2010, p.85]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

The Blazing Angels' boys best game yet but IL-2 Sturmovik still has the edge. [Nov 2010, p.88]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

Not what you wanted but better than you'd hoped. [Nov 2010, p.118]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

A beast of a game. There's no point owning any other American football sim. [Dec 2010, p.98]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

A fascinating multiplayer experiment, but also a really solid, streamlined single player 'vania. [Nov 2010, p.120]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

Ponderous and lightweight racing atop near-vaporous water. Go and have a bath instead. [Oct 2010, p.121]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

Cruddy game of cruddy movie non-shocker. The greatest legends of humanity, shat upon. [Aug 2010, p.99]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK
-
- Critic Score
A haunting puzzler brimming with ideas, Limbo is easily the platform's greatest successor to Braid. [Oct 2010, p.118]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK
-
- Critic Score
A masterful blend of genres, but with many ideas of its own. Worth the low, low asking price. [Oct 2010, p.120]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK
-
- Critic Score
Almost unique gaming for the 360, but the one-note gameplay soon becomes routine. [Aug 2010, p.90]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK
-
- Critic Score
One of the best adventures ever for the price of a paperback? [Oct 2010, p.121]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK
-
- Critic Score
Undisputedly dazzling - but there's an overly familiar vibe. Deserved to be better than this. [Sept 2010, p.94]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

To fans? The biggest Potter playground they've ever seen. To everyone else? A riot. [Sept 2010, p.103]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

Rotten sniper slop with flimsy Call of Duty-esque levels glued onto the side. [Oct 2010, p.94]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

A decent shooter with smart time powers and enough atmos to hook you for the duration. [Oct 2010, p.101]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK
-
- Critic Score
A decent enough idea, but one bolted onto a mess of a game. Very naughty indeed. [Oct 2010, p.96]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

Needlessly goofy presentation hurts a game which works well with friends and on a controller. [Sept 2010, p.121]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

A budget effort which has been created with little effort to please military buffs or gamers. [Oct 2010, p.97]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

One of the best kids games on 360 but, unusually for Pixar, with little grown-up appeal. [Oct 2010, p.99]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

Jim has aged gracefully but was never as good as everyone thought it was back in 1994. [Sept 2010, p.121]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

Another great Rock Band outing - but half of Green Day's classic content is missing. Uh? [Sept 2010, p.101]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

Still a great game - but a game treading water for years now. [Sept 2010, p.100]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

Starts off crap, gets a bit better, ends up disappointing. It's a rollercoaser, for sure - but no Diddy Kong Racing. [Aug 2010, p.121]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

Busting semi-famous faces has never been so much fun. Essential viewing for fight fans. [Aug 2010, p.86]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

We simply can't stress this enough; if you're planning to play this game on your lonesome, STAY AWAY; if you're all about the human co-op and the multiplayer modes go ahead and jump right in. This is undoubtedly some gamers' idea of blasting heaven; it just isn't quite ours.- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

Definitely the best Skate effort yet - but more of an update than a truly worthy sequel. [July 2010, p.86]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

One of the best shooters of the mid-nineties, ruined spectacularly for the 21st Century. [Aug 2010, p.121]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

Several hours of unforgettable oddness. This is no Hollywood blockbuster, but we like it for that. [Aug 2010, p.120]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

A car crash of a game, and yet another howler to add to the execrable Hollywood tie-in bin. [Aug 2010, p.27]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

Comfortable in its saggy skin, and really quite good at what it does. A bargain bin gem. [July 2010, p.94]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

Popcorn arcade action that's far more exciting to watch than it is to play. [July 2010, p.120]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

The 360 already has its share of top-grade fighters, making this instantly obsolete. [June 2010, p.99]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK
-
- Critic Score
In stark contrast to the first game, you'll never be at a loss for something to be getting on with. You never feel compelled to do anything by the book and every session you play, you'll find yourself concentrating on a new part of the game, continually getting distracted by something else along the way.- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

A tedious top-down racer priced at three times its worth. Disappointing stuff from the N+ boys. [June 2010, p.121]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

Too much streamlining has blunted FFXIII's hooks. This isn't epic, it's arduous. [May 2010, p.67]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

Not as smart as Defence Grid but more fun, this is brains, brawn and great big balls for ten pounds. [June 2010, p.121]- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK
-
- Critic Score
The cliche 'game of two halves' normally conjures up images of classic football comebacks, but after staggering through the glaringly uneven single-player campaign in Bad Company 2, twenty-four hours after spending a whole day solidly playing the superb multiplayer component, there's hardly a more apt description of DICE's wannabe CoD-killer. This is all about the online game.- Xbox World 360 Magazine UK
