An unusual action game with hidden depths that comes into its own in multiplayer. A bit too self-consciously 'kooky', mind. [Nov 2008, p.66]

A disappointing experience if you're only going to play alone, but okay as an online shooter. It's like two games in one - one above average, the other a big rubbish. [Sept 2009, p.62]

It's not a new idea but it's done well on DS, with enough variety to hook you. A good budget addition to a puzzle fan's library. [Dec 2008, p.66]

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

A solid pocket arcade. [Sept 2012, p.108]

A welcome twist on the Pokemon formula, but only an English translation will really uncover the game's possible depths. For now, it's fun and a joy to look at. [Mar 2007, p.75]

Not just for the nippers. A cute, well-crafted minigame collection that'll have you and your family clicking together in harmony. [Feb 2012, p.101]

A robust, well-crafted 3D air combat game. [Christmas 2011, p.74]

With Wii U around the corner, FIFA 12 on Wii was never going to be a revolution. The new FIFA City mode is just wallpaper for what's just FIFA 11 in new clothes.

Still one of the better wrestling games of recent times. [Jan 2012, p.116]

Feels like a step back after the more challenging Bejeweled Twist. [Jan 2012, p.117]

An engagingly simple puzzler rendered a bit clunky by the motion-controlled bits. You'll keep playing, though, and the multiplayer's a good laugh. [Oct 2009, p.61]

This isn't as mind-spinningly enjoyable as we hoped. [Nov 2007, p.54]

Lame controls, rubbish camera, loads of crappy loading pauses. It seems very cheap. [Jan 2009, p.66]

Absolutely cast iron guaranteed to make you smile. [May 2007, p.60]

It's a neat idea but it would shine with a greater variety of tracks. [Oct 2009, p.68]

Dreary racer. [Christmas 2009, p.51]

Totally rough as a solo game and not exactly packed with multiplayer modes, but the number of players and the smoothness of the controls make it worth investigating.

It's highly addictive, some puzzles are fiendish and stylus controls trounce mouse clicks. [Nov 2008, p.75]

Well-presented and very charming. [Apr 2009, p.72]

It will likely spend more time on your shelf than in your Wii, but this is one of the better mini-game titles. However, only consider it if you need a new remote.

An often charming adventure for the CBBC crowd but too flaccid a storyline with too infuriating a score for the rest of us. [Dec 2008, p.75]

It didn't make an impact first time around, and it's unlikely to make one now. Everything Plus has to offer has been done better elsewhere. [Apr 2009, p.65]

Although it's basically exactly the same as the first version, we're still delighted with its twinkling games, soothing tunes and quirky artwork. [JPN Import; Oct 2006, p.66]

A perfectly acceptable pint-sized kart racer. [Mar 2010, p.58]

Like watching Cristiano Ronaldo getting sent off, we enjoyed this a lot. The visuals are ropey, but it's very playable. [Feb 2009, p.68]

Championship-winning concept held back by a few lacklustre mechanics. [Apr 2012, p.91]
