An RPG needs to entertain for hours, to fully immerse you in its universe and not let go, but Two Worlds starts to show cracks before the tutorial is over. It's a -10 for execution, with no chance of a saving throw. [Nov 2007, p.76]

Good for a few laughs with some mates (and some DLC), but it's still a bit of a turkey. [June 2011, p.100]

A potentially not bad Pixar tie-in that gets very average, very quickly. Shame. [Sept 2008, p.82]

A messy, boring, button-mashing waste of time. [Nov 2011, p.111]

A lightweight gimmicky kids' game made completely verboten due to messy controls. [Sept 2011, p.93]

Quirky. It's the best racer of a pretty bad bunch. [Jan 2011]

As bog-standard a shooter as we've ever played, marinated in a gallon of blood.

An engrossing quest sadly dumped on from great heights by a few unforgivable mistakes. [May 2011, p.100]

Not enough depth for the purist, but on the cheap it's a simple brawler packing an enjoyable, no-nonsense punch. [Christmas 2011, p.106]

Shallow and incredibly dull, another year, another rank DW title. [June 2009, p.82]

It's a bad version of a bad way to replicate playing poker, badly pieced together. [Aug 2007, p.75]

A brave attempt at something which shouldn't have been attempted in the first place. [Apr 2009, p.104]

Tries to coast by on nostalgia, but even fans will see this as a total waste of 14 years. [Sept 2011, p.86]

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

Underplayed. [Feb 2009, p.104]

A shooter with all the usual pieces but none of the smarts needed to entertain.

Not what you expect from the makers of Total War: a flawed real time strategy, with zero thrills. [June 2009, p.74]

This would be a nice (if distasteful) stalk-'em-up, but it's so wretchedly broken in places.

An inept shooter that manages to make Duke Nukem Forever look like Modern Warfare.

A frustrating mix of good and bad - we'd take it over "Blacksite" and co though. [Christmas 2008, p.63]

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

A mildly entertaining fantasy yarn tragically coded by a team without any 360 experience. [May 2010, p.102]

Wrong control system. [Feb 2011, p.108]

Even for the notoriously shabby ghetto of licensed-games, X-Men Destiny represents a new low. Activision have sent this one out to die. [Christmas 2011, p.102]

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

An idea too small to sustain an entire game. [Jan 2009, p.104]

A big mistake made all the more unbearable for its few glimpses of promise. [Feb 2010, p.88]

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