Brevity is pretty much the only complaint we can level at the game. [Dec 2008, p.81]

Not bad at all. [Oct 2007, p.77]

Far too expensive for what it is. [Dec 2011, p.73]

Putting the controls on the remote was an admirable innovation last year but it's not so clever now. [Feb 2008, p.50]

It's challenging, fast-paced and really rather pretty. [Dec 2007, p.69]

A decent game that introduces some variety to the formula, but it's no match for "Picross DS's" size and scope. [Christmas 2008, p.72]

Lacks the charm, fluid controls and, crucially, wit of the brilliant Wii game. [July 2010, p.56]

A novel update on a classic game, although it's not quite a classic by itself. [Oct 2011, p.77]

It addresses just about every criticism we had about the summer game. [Winter 2009, p.44]

Too similar to the first game, including the not-that-good platforming. [Winter 2009, p.67]

You'll see interesting sights, but this doesn't capitalise on the ick factor or the thrill of seeing our world through a fresh set(s) of eyes.

A dizzying array of stuff will keep you tinkering for a while. [Christmas 2009, p.54]

It sets the standard for Wii golfing controls but is barely any different from its predecessor. [Dec 2007, p.48]

A decent yarn with unashamedly retro mechanics. [Christmas 2009, p.67]

A well-stocked game and a big improvement over Jake's previous outing, but it still feels a bit dry. [Nov 2009, p.73]

It's all fun and games until someone remembers how good SSX used to be. [Christmas 2009, p.62]

It's pretty, and zippy, with lots of reasons to come back for more (e.g. secret areas opening up as you collect Bionicle masks). Fun, but easy. [Dec 2006, p.55]

Spore Wars isn't quite the game we were hoping for but there is potential here for a future franchise if the uninspired level design is given a few tweaks. [Mar 2009, p.56]

There's loads to do. [Feb 2009, p.77]

A decent kick-around. However, AI can be a bit wobbly, the teams are missing their summer transfers, and 06's single-cart multiplayer has rudely vanished. [Dec 2006, p.54]

Don't be fooled by the pointer controls or other fripperies. [Aug 2008, p.75]

A logical evolution of "Guitar Hero." Being able to record our sounds and keep them ensures longevity. [Nov 2007, p.64]

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

The cuteness may drive away sports gamers, and the realistic gameplay may drive away others, but this is surprisingly deep. [Mar 2007, p.56]

No matter how well-crafted these features are, they all boil down to gameplay based on a swinging club - the one thing the game can't do. To misquote Twain: "PGA Tour 07 is a good franchise spoilt." [Apr 2007, p.46]

Simply put, it's a better looking, better functioning version of the original (voice recognition is noticeably improved). It's forgiving and accessible, almost to a fault, but rewards investment with those idiosyncratic movements that Nintendo do so well. And it makes nice use of the hardware. [Mar 2011, p.52]

If you're not keen on challenging dungeon crawls, you can give this a pass. For fans of console roguelikes, however, this is a must-have. [Apr 2010, p.56]

In short: if you've got a DS, get the DS version. If not, get this. [Feb 2008, p.55]
