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

Linearity and middling mechanics let the side down, but this is still a cracking sequel. [Nov 2010, p.83]

Inventive fun, just not the pure twitch shoot-'em-up that the name suggests. [Dec 2008, p.102]

With solid platforming and tricky puzzles it's a long-awaited return to form for the Prince. [Aug 2010, p.92]

It's still great, though it could (and should) have been so much better. [Christmas 2008, p.60]

EA have upped the game when it comes to sports this year. A huge improvement. [Dec 2007, p.85]

Not the most glamorous of titles, but one of the most well-rounded. [Jan 2011]

A decent idea that falls short for a variety of eminently fixable reasons. [Feb 2010, p.80]

An enjoyable and solidly designed Nati-fragger, but one with a series of small niggles. [Nov 2007, p.82]

It's honest fun for a while. [Nov 2010, p.121]

Satisfyingly vacuous. [July 2011, p.102]

When Battlestations Midway is good, it's really good.

A slow burner which eventually grows into entertaining smaxploitation. [Christmas 2009, p.88]

A thoroughly tedious adventure with weak jokes and puzzles made hard through length not smarts. [July 2009, p.103]

Jim has aged gracefully but was never as good as everyone thought it was back in 1994. [Sept 2010, p.121]

Old fashioned to look at, but packed with invention and things to do. [Christmas 2007, p.77]

The Force Unleashed is more of a highly impressive tech demo with a great narrative tagged on, with any actual game present inserted only as an afterthought.

A short, hard, occasionally clumsy niche game. [Aug 2009, p.104]

One for shoot-'em-up experts. [Dec 2010, p.98]

A morbidly obese platformer from a developer which just didn't know when to stop. [July 2009, p.104]

Richer than most kiddie Kinect options. [Feb 2012, p.107]

A solid romp, but Dante's Inferno fails to live up to its promise as EA's Next Big Thing. [Apr 2010, p.87]

Something for everyone. [Jan 2011]

Bonkers beyond belief, it's not the best in the series, but it's certainly good enough. [Apr 2008, p.74]

A beautiful little game; just a shame that everything is so overly familiar.

A gimmicky Ace Combat homage made by people who think you might be stupid. [May 2009, p.72]

Marbling madness epitomised, but Rock of Ages' rough mechanics could have done with more smoothing. Top marks for sheer oddness, nonetheless.
