Not just a little similar to "GTA III" in look, feel, and gameplay, it's nonetheless worth sleeping in front of the game store for this one. [Dec 2002, p.150]

Beautiful and inspired, but too short.

One immaculate game. Granted the graphics can be blurry and the missions too frustrating at times - but this is still what consoles were invented for.

Action aside, the fine frame of the heroine is pleasantly reminiscent of the lovely Lara.

Genuinely great idea, but incredibly frustrating.

Splendid gameplay topped by highly-involving action and some nice comedy touches.

This one though is probably the most realistic driving experiences you can get, short of painting ads for Castrol GTX on your Escort and driving round Box Hill at speed.

All that’s missing is the club house bar and the occasional streaker.

Manic, frenzied and violent gaming at it’s gripping best.

Worth revisiting to admire the outstanding graphics and thrash the various motors within an inch of their life.

There's nothing else quite like it. which means you’ll either love it or hate. FHM loved it.

Only for real Dune fans – or people who want to spice up their life.

Great, if somewhat surreal platform adventure with massive playability. Cancel your social life.

The model by which all other acronyms are judged.

Shave off the beard, throw away the sandals, the RPG has grown up.

With four CDs of RPG fun it does tend to drag on.

Write 'I will not rip off other games, stick in a cult TV licence and rake in the cash' out 100 times.

It's the kind of game that you will play all weekend and then emerge on Monday bleary eyed.

Stunning graphics – from the individual blades of grass underfoot to the eye-popping 3D – married to crystal sound and gameplay more addictive than a Class A drug make for one lethal time-killing package.

A pristine racer, with stunning graphics, plenty to play for and jaw-dropping replays. Tell the boss you're sick.

Same old formula adds nothing new to the genre.

There is the usual mix of chick, cars and guns to keep even the most special of agents happy.

This one flies in the face of taste, tweaks the nose of subtlety and goes down in a blaze of glory, all guns blazing.

Certainly the best add-on to date (no pun intended).

Good sandbox mode and multiplayer.

The force is strong in this one.

Ok this might all be sounding a bit Star Warsy, but besides that this is a well done (if somewhat formulaic) RTS.

Snow Blinding.
