Annoying, frustrating; even Mr ESC couldn't rescue this game from complete disaster. [Jan 2008, p.94]

A gimmick in need of a game. [May 2008, p.97]

Average even on release. If you have "SF2 Turbo," you don't need this. [Dec 2007, p.96]

Online play is the only redeemable feature of this 'update.' Get "Puzzle Quest" instead. That got three stars. [Christmas 2007, p.98]

Adds very little to the already flawed and tepid Exit. If you didn't buy that, you won't want this. [May 2009, p.105]

An RPG-lite that's just too watered down to be at all enjoyable. [Mar 2008, p.94]

Bland, convoluted and plagued with counter-productive level design. [Dec 2009, p.105]

It's rubbish. Of course it's rubbish - it's a game where you bang one button, forever. [Oct 2009, p.103]

A decent, mindless rampage online for the converted. [Feb 2009, p.104]

A totally competent golf game which ultimately does too much wrong and to little right. [Sept 2008, p.97]

Sixteen years on and it's not so fast, or smooth, or fun. The controls are stiffer than cold porridge and the new HD graphics are no improvement. [Sept 2007, p.96]

This is a very basic, very rubbish side-scrolling shooter with some knobs on. [Aug 2007, p.92]

We'll go easy on it for being a kids' game, but it's certainly not a good one. [Feb 2008, p.94]

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

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

Occasionally innovative, but not nearly hard or fast enough for the game's dedicated fanbase. [Mar 2009, p.95]

We loved her when she was young and tasty, but now this old bird's, er, old. [Aug 2007, p.92]

The weirdest, floatiest controls imaginable. [Feb 2008, p.94]

A lukewarm experiment, and while a partner is required for fun, everything is fun with two. [Oct 2008, p.102]

The "Giraffe" has already trod this ground before. [Mar 2008, p.94]

One of Atari's better visual upgrades, but not nearly as much fun 28 years after it first hit arcades. [July 2008, p.96]

Soulless stuff. [Sept 2008, p.95]

A disappointing update to a disappointing game. [Aug 2008, p.99]

There's too many options and too much going on for a console controller to handle. [Christmas 2009, p.119]

Not beefy enough to warrant the fat cash. [June 2009, p.96]

Fun with friends, but the chances of finding anyone to play you are slim. [Sept 2008, p.97]

A game done better many times before with gags so weak even unfunny art man Strike would scowl. [Apr 2010, p.121]

See Dance Paradise, read Dance Purgatory. [Jan 2011, p.15]
