Sparkling brilliance, gleeful insanity - just needs more remixes. [June 2012, p.89]

Lovely. [Oct 2010, p.47]

An exemplary platformer, and a treat to play with the 3D on. [Aug 2012, p.102]

The Pokemon formula stays unchanged, but Gold and Silver remain our favourites. Essential for Johto newcomers and veterans. [Mar 2010, p.94]

Potent Mario magic, and, by God, that 2D-3D idea is brilliant. But it's got what we call the Pikmin effect: the sense that it'll take a sequel to really bring the concept to full fruition. [July 2007, p.36]

If you can crack our ultra-difficult score riddle, this is definitely a game for you. [Nov 2009, p.61]

Strip away the unmanageable bulk and Pokémon is a truly great RPG. Add it back on later and it remains a flashy, if conventional, entry in the franchise.

The party features raise the bar for multiplayer gaming. [Dec 2009, p.65]

If you've ever delighted in kicking down a sandcastle, demolishing a house of toy bricks or, indeed, playing Jenga, you'll love this. Creatively destructive. [July 2009, p.56]

Huge, meaty, substantial. It's a Wii title without a minigame in sight, yet it's as well suited to a quick thrash down the slopes as it is an all-night sesh. A winter sports game for all seasons. [Apr 2007, p.36]

Witty story, great characters and a bite-size battle system that's ideal for DS. You can't fail to be impressed by this, regardless of whether or not you're a fan of Final Fantasy. [Mar 2008, p.50]

A fantastic action RPG with echoes of Zelda. [Feb 2011, p.62]

A really solid Mario Kart with a terrific online setup. There's plenty here to make up for the disappointment of local multiplayer, but it does stop short of magnificence.

Sure, this is one for the younger gamer, but it's witty, varied and has great visuals. [Dec 2009, p.61]
