A strong idea, executed with few frills. It's worth experiencing, but your fun may be short-lived. [Jan 2011, p.73]

The score is for people who like this sort of game. [Christmas 2009, p.70]

It builds on the films' best bits and dumps the worst. [June 2011, p.60]

It can get repetitive over time and the level design feels uninspired. [Feb 2007, p.59]

Not really that innovative. [Oct 2008, p.62]

Reworked, modernised but still definitely a retro experience, the original Tomb Raider proves there was substance behind all the hype. [Jan 2008, p.41]

Paradoxical. A celebration of old school and simplicity appearing on a machine capable of so much more. Accept that it won't push the Wii, and it's highly enjoyable. [Mar 2007, p.50]

Hardly the deepest RPG ever, but it's a fast-paced bots 'n' boobs romp, with more energy than a tap dancing meerkat. [Aug 2009, p.75]

Solid and playable but not terribly exciting. [Christmas 2009, p.65]

Clumsy design holds it back from true greatness. [Christmas 2010, p.46]

There are a few duffers here but the good definitely outweighs the bad. [Jan 2009, p.70]

Pretty, and pretty hollow. [July 2011, p.76]

It's nice to see someone trying something new, but they're overreaching. Not so great action and not so great strategy gets you this confusing pile of not so great stuff. [July 2007, p.69]

We're still torn whether to play top-to-bottom with 3D on or side-to-side with 3D off. Either way, this is the best PES on any format in ages.

Has more than enough inspired moments to help you see past the shortcomings. [Dec 2007, p.61]

A decent portable version. [Christmas 2010, p.74]

An RPG that dares to be different, plot-wise, but still starts you off fighting worms and skellingtons in cobwebby old dungeons. [Dec 2006, p.38]

A skimpy package that you'll probably finish in record time. Definitely exciting, but also a great advertisement for videogame rentals. [Feb 2007, p.54]

A full console game intelligently squeezed into a handheld. [Sept 2007, p.58]

Harvest Moon should stick to the cow-tending. [Dec 2009, p.70]

The open-world omission is a massive blow, but inter-hero banter, co-op capering, and dozens of DC characters elevate this above the typical Lego tie-in. [Aug 2012, p.94]

A bafflingly deep card battle experience to look forward to. [June 2010, p.71]

a little mindless, but still fun. [March 2012, p.101]

It's a labour of love for fans of the anime and, as such, is about as hardcore an intro to the DBZ universe as you could imagine. Underneath the layers of story there's a spectacular fighter. [Feb 2007, p.60]

Older gamers may find themselves getting a little bored, but this is a good action title for young fans of the original film. [Mar 2007, p.63]

Okay, so it doesn't win the award for most action-packed adventure on Wii, but it is a beautiful, innovative and very different kettle of fish. A breathtaking experience. [Christmas 2007, p.46]

Genuinely atmospheric and unnervingly scary - a grown up treat for your DS. [Jan 2008, p.60]

Controls have been streamlined, but the game engine is due a massive overhaul. [Issue#56, p.54]
