If only it supported four players, this would be a definite must have. [Dec 2006, p.44]

Although not quite as challenging as it could have been, there is still much fun to be had in this quaint little forestry world. [June 2008, p.55]

If you haven't gotten the PC version, you'll be pleasantly surprised by this on Wii - once you've got past the so-so early stages. [Oct 2010, p.52]

Lock's Quest is definitely a slow burner and takes a while to get going. Invest your time, however, and you'll be rewarded with a solid and competent strategy game. [Dec 2008, p.67]

A rather impressive little package. [Jan 2008, p.64]

The visuals are spiffier, though, and the music is top-notch. [Dec 2009, p.69]

Quite charming and colourful RTS, with a simple and accessible stylus-only control scheme and a fun multiplayer. Not really that much depth for hardened RTSites though. [Sept 2007, p.65]

Way too over reliant on the D-pad diagonals. [July 2007, p.71]

A good-looking and solid take on Tekken 6 that packs in a ton of content. But single-player modes are unsatisfying and the fighting feels dated compared to Street Fighter 3D. [Feb 2012, p.90]

A frustratingly slow pace and the sad realisation that a humdinger of a plot is zooming over our heads are the only problems here. Otherwise one of the best RTS games on DS. [JPN Import; June 2007, p.54]

Too shallow and formulaic to be anything other than an RPG footnote, but this is still a robust, accessible and enjoyable game. [Winter 2009, p.59]

Not an Empire Strikes Back life-changer, but a Return of hte Jedi romp. Plenty of technical hiccups, but fun is never far off. Duelling is alright, too. [Nov 2008, p.50]

Not only a ferocious challenge but a hearty high-score chaser to boot. Derivative, but derives from the best. [Apr 2009, p.71]

Lovingly crafted, sure, but for a game revolving around the rich variety of jelly beans A Boy And His Blob can be flavourless stuff.

A perfect foil for the well-received film, well designed and executed. But their respective running times are rather too close for comfort. [Oct 2008, p.71]

If you fancy saving the world from aliens on your DS, this is worth having a spin on. [Oct 2006, p.70]

Ignore the fighting's mechanical edge and this is about as good a shot as wrestling has at reaching a wider audience. But wrestling fans, beware - this probably isn't for you. [Christmas 2007, p.60]

Fun, frustrating exploration fest that you <I>will</I> want to finish no matter how many times you have to kill Lara to do so. [Dec 2006, p.40]

The constant shift in direction will leave you confused. But there are genuine pockets of excitement amongst the humdrum. [Apr 2012, p.92]

The cutscenes don't look so horribly grainy here either. [June 2009, p.74]

Survive like Ray Mears while fretting over how good you look in a grass skirt. It's a whole news Sims experience. [Christmas 2007, p.50]

It's worth putting up with the nonsense as this is a satisfying action RPG. [Dec 2009, p.68]

Worth a look if you're a connoisseur of action RPGs. [Apr 2010, p.66]

Another strong offering for RPG fans to sink their teeth into, with some great graphical updates, but be warned: this is two parts work, one part play.

New players should jump right in, but veterans might want to think twice. [Jan 2011, p.64]

Much better, faster and smoother on a big screen. [Feb 2008, p.47]

A game first and foremost (and maybe a torture device). [Feb 2009, p.69]

A brilliantly made challenge, but rarely much fun. [Jan 2009, p.64]
