    • Critic Score 30
    Stupid. [Apr 2011, p.118]
    • Metascore: 43
    • Critic Score 30
    A pitiful tie-in to a sub-standard movie. [June 2011, p.111]
    • Metascore: 50
    • Critic Score 30
    This would have been an embarrassment in 1987. [Sept 2011, p.116]
    • Metascore: 50
    • Critic Score 30
    Absolutely abysmal. [Dec 2011, p.103]
    • Metascore: 61
    • Critic Score 30
    A painfully slow and aged Millionaire quiz. [Jan 2012, p.114]
    • Metascore: 53
    • Critic Score 30
    While the story at least tries to play on reality, the gameplay lurches back and forth between sim and arcade. [Feb 2012, p.107]
    • Metascore: 44
    • Critic Score 30
    It's an overly complicated system that screams of an attempt to be modern and forward-looking, but will actually end up with a bunch of pissed-off purchasers feeling like they've paid nearly 20 pounds for a trial version. Which, to be perfectly honest, is pretty much all this is.
    • Metascore: 53
    • Critic Score 30
    The combat is still woeful. [Apr 2012, p.97]
    • Metascore: 55
    • Critic Score 30
    Unless you enjoy dressing-up games or cluster headaches, run for your life, and don't look back. [Dec 2012, p.117]
    • Metascore: 35
    • Critic Score 30
    Unfortunately, there’s just no hope for this one. Sure, it looks like a game – and we all love games – but the rot has taken hold and it’s too late to save it. You should go on ahead and we’ll put this sorry thing out of its misery.
    • Metascore: 57
    • Critic Score 20
    Weaponry is dull and so are the contests - a mix of base capturing and amassing kills. Avoid like a landmine. [May 2007, p.120]
    • Metascore: 60
    • Critic Score 20
    The stylistic, themed pieces (aquatic, chaos, etc.) all look the same unless you squint, and the lacklustre animations have no purpose other than slowing down play. [Apr 2007, p.118]
    • Metascore: 42
    • Critic Score 20
    This is a farce of a game and "Super Smash Bros" has already done the cartoon, co-op, beat-'em-up with infinitely more flair and class, nine long years ago. [Mar 2007, p.111]
    • Metascore: 54
    • Critic Score 20
    Horrible. [May 2007, p.114]
    • Metascore: 38
    • Critic Score 20
    The only fight this game is winning is the one for worst beat-em-up on PSP. [Aug 2007, p.114]
    • Metascore: tbd
    • Critic Score 20
    Thanks for the memories, Mr. Wizard. Now toddle back to your castle and don't bother us again. [Oct 2007, p.113]
    • Metascore: 32
    • Critic Score 20
    Excruciatingly sterile turn-based combat. [Sept 2007, p.116]
    • Metascore: 61
    • Critic Score 20
    If there were no other racers on PS3, or indeed on the planet, buying this would still be a mistake, but with the likes of Dirt already out there, and Motorstorm: Pacific Rift on the horizon, spending money on Baja would be nothing short of madness. [Dec 2008, p.113]
    • Metascore: 54
    • Critic Score 20
    In a game that's only two hours long, being this gnawingly repetitive is actually quite an achievement. [May 2009, p.103]
    • Metascore: 27
    • Critic Score 20
    Should you even think about renting it for a laugh? To quote Dick Marcinko: "F*ck no." [Feb 2010, p.107]
    • Metascore: 42
    • Critic Score 20
    Cheap and nasty. [Dec 2009, p.18]
    • Metascore: 62
    • Critic Score 20
    It's almost worth playing Chronicles just to appreciate how bad it is. Almost, but definitely not. [Apr 2010, p.112]
    • Metascore: 38
    • Critic Score 20
    To facilitate the stalking, there's a present-giving mechanic. [June 2010, p.119]
    • Metascore: 36
    • Critic Score 20
    Two hours of unmitigated boredom. [Christmas 2010]
    • Metascore: 45
    • Critic Score 20
    Avoid like you would a family holiday to Nudefest 2010. [Issue#51, p.110]
    • Metascore: 70
    • Critic Score 20
    There's not enough room here to say how much I hate this game. I could write a novel about why Two Worlds II is the worst thing to happen to the fantasy RPG genre since encumbrance systems. [Apr 2011, p.114]
    • Metascore: 31
    • Critic Score 20
    You'd be better off being put to sleep for all eternity. [Apr 2011, p.118]
    • Metascore: 55
    • Critic Score 20
    If I'd bought this for the Atari ST in 1989, I'd want my money back. [Sept 2011, p.107]
    • Metascore: 45
    • Critic Score 20
    Pretty amusing until you realise what a shameful rip-off it is. [Sept 2011, p.108]
    • Metascore: 49
    • Critic Score 20
    It's basic, ugly and lacks any sense of excitement. [Apr 2012, p.118]
