 Queen + Paul Rodgers: Return of the Champions [DVD] - PopMatters Music Review
Return of the Champions is credited to "Queen + Paul Rodgers", a subtle acknowledgement that nobody's expecting Rodgers to do everything for them that Mercury once did, least of all May and Taylor themselves.
Return of the Champions documents a performance at Hallam FM Arena in Sheffield, filled to capacity with screaming, waving fans.
Viewed with an open mind, Return of the Champions is mostly as triumphant as its title implies, serving as a tribute to Queen's dear departed vocalist as much as it does as a fine performance of a pile of solid songs.

 Champions: Return to Arms PlayStation 2 game review from allPS2.com   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Unfortunately, though, Return to Arms is a very different game than Champions of Norrath, something that isn't immediately evident until you begin to play and see that the changes made to the structure to the game make it far less accessible than Champions.
Return to Arms makes soloing a real test of your patience, unless you're playing the game at a lower difficulty level than you 'should', which, in turn, makes it not very interesting.
With Return To Arms, there's definitely some trade-offs being made - there is more of an innate emphasis on multiplayer, yet a weak plot and sense of story will turn off some potential partners, and importing characters from Champions can be troublesome in terms of properly balancing the difficulty.

 Champions: Return to Arms (PlayStation 2) Reviews. Role-Playing games (PS2) Reviews by CNET.
Snowblind seems pretty comfortable with it, as Champions: Return to Arms is virtually indistinguishable from last year's Champions of Norrath, and to a certain extent, the game feels more like an expansion pack than a proper sequel.
Return to Arms ostensibly picks up where Champions of Norrath left off, and the game even allows you to import your character from the first Champions.
The improvements that Champions: Return to Arms makes over its predecessors are modest, and after four years of roughly the same game, the fundamental formula is starting to feel a little tired.

Thankfully, there is a fair amount of new material in Return to Arms that differentiate it from its predecessor.
There is an option to import a character from Champions of Norrath, if you still have the memory card save from that game, but that may make the first two difficulty levels a bit too easy.
Minibosses are no different, but the option to use a gate scroll comes in handy in these situations as players can literally take a temporary leave from a poor battle and retreat to their home plane to rest up before resuming.
