    If the balance board controls worked, the game world wasn't so barren and there weren't severe balancing issues, this would be okay. [Feb 2009, p.64]

    Riveting stuff, no? No. And neither is this DS game. [Jan 2008, p.65]

    • 70 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Ignore all the neon '80s nonsense going on around it and this is a solid game. There's plenty of it, and it gets tough as old boots as well. [Sept 2008, p.68]

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

    • 42 Critic Score
    This is a basic third-person shooter with really clunky controls. [Issue#56, p.70]
    • Nintendo Gamer
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Not exactly the most thrilling RPG, and the user interface is quite irritating, but it might be of interest. [Dec 2007, p.65]

    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Old games cruelly exposed by a shoddy conversion to DS. [Apr 2010, p.64]

    It makes chess look like [a] snap and will make children cry. [Sept 2007, p.71]

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

    Pokemon. With dinosaurs. Not the most imaginative idea and there's not a lot to it, but Fossil Fighters will scratch that pet-battling itch. [Nov 2009, p.71]

    Really get into it and you'll spend weeks finding the perfect 'solutions". For everyone else, this is a rare actioner on Wii, and very competently handheld. [JPN Import; Mar 2009, p.58]

    • 68 Critic Score
    Why can't film tie-ins be as nicely done as this anime spin-off, eh? [Aug 2010, p.73]
    • Nintendo Gamer
    • 70 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    The racing is repetitive and boring but the monster-collecting and presentation make up for that. [July 2010, p.65]
    • Nintendo Gamer
    • 70 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    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]
    • Nintendo Gamer
    • 70 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    A polished platformer with plenty of 'oooh' moments, but has ideas too big for its station. [Jan 2009, p.65]
    • Nintendo Gamer
    • 70 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    It makes the right moves but doesn't quite scale the heights. And you can be the GameCube version - without Ubisoft's half-hearted Wii controls - for around 20 pounds. [June 2007, p.38]
    • 70 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    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]

    • 60 Critic Score
    Totally gimmick-free puzzling that ends up feeling a little too sparse. [June 2009, p.73]

    • 70 Metascore
    • 53 Critic Score
    A mediocre compilation of five average games. [Apr 2009, p.59]
    • Nintendo Gamer
    • 70 Metascore
    • 53 Critic Score
    Little more than an uninspired remake of a vastly superior original. [June 2010, p.65]

    • 70 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    Vom-inducing adorable RPG-superlite that will be a good way to introduce younglings to the genre, whilst simultaneously making everyone else want to sneer at dogs on the way home. [JPN Import]
    • 70 Metascore
    • 52 Critic Score
    It all just seems a bit unnecessary. [Jan 2009, p.71]
    • Nintendo Gamer
    • 70 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    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]

    Narrow-minded and frustrating, but Pokemon Ranger demands genuine skill. It gets so many things right that the RPGs get wrong. Give it a whirl. [May 2007, p.67]
    • Nintendo Gamer
    • 69 Metascore
    • 59 Critic Score
    If you're not already a magic buff, and you're under 13, this will easily entertain you. [Feb 2008, p.64]
    • Nintendo Gamer
    • 69 Metascore
    • 49 Critic Score
    The flimsy core betrays a bevy of neat ideas nabbed straight from the film. [Aug 2008, p.63]
    • 69 Metascore
    • 54 Critic Score
    The soul-sappingly slow racing lets this down. [Aug 2011, p.68]
    • Nintendo Gamer
    • 69 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    Good in parts, but disappointingly light on features and poor value for money compared to most other Mario sports games. [JPN Import; Oct 2006, p.60]

    • 69 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    Kororinpa wowed us with its lithe 3D flexibility, but it lied about its depth. Now we're stuck: we can't ever go back to "Monkey Ball," but know we've been cheated. Life is so hard. [JPN Import; Mar 2007, p.48]
