amiga power and amiga format fell out with team17, and they ended up having to buy the games in the shop to review them. needless to say, they got terrible reviews. they gave alien breed 3d about 25% or something. it was a pretty sucky game, but it wasnt THAT bad.
those same magazines gave 'akira' game for amiga about 17%, which was fair, but some other magazines gave the game 80. you could see this disparity for several games, but it was a long time ago and i cant remember that many specific titles.

Amiga Power gave Alien Breed 3D 91%. Alien Breed 3D II: The Killing Grounds received 54% for the 2Mb version, 59% for the 4Mb version and a "mid-60s" score on an accelerated Amiga.
Amiga Format gave Alien Breed 3D 93% and Alien Breed 3D II 96%.
AP continued to give a variety of percentages to Team 17 games after their disagreement - some low (38% for ATR) and some high (91% for Arcade Pool CD32). (And it should be noted that AP used the full percentage score, so 40% in AP would be equivalent to 70% in some other Amiga magazines).
