Critic Reviews

61 PC Format
If you've got a couple of mates who are so boozed up they can't be trusted with the real thing this might be fun, but as a solo experience it's pretty hollow. [Mar 2008, p.108]
48 PC Gamer UK
The vaguely thrilling sense of competition that comes with first mastering the controls and besting an AI opponent soon dwindles, replaced with the horrifying realization that "this is all there is." [Mar 2008, p.80]
34 PC Zone UK
Ugly, gameless drill. [Mar 2008, p.80]
