An original, challenging and addictive shooter that will keep you coming back to the shop menu to buy the rest of the downloadable levels. Episodic! Ace! [Dec 2008, p.75]

It's got the basics, and fans can have fun, but it's effectively pointless if you've got a DS, and definitely pointless if you've got a GameCube. [Nov 2006, p.74]

If you fancy saving the world from aliens on your DS, this is worth having a spin on. [Oct 2006, p.70]

Worth a look for puzzle fans. [Oct 2009, p.69]

It doesn't reinvent the winter sports genre but it does understand the limits of the board and knows how to be charming with them. A really pleasant surprise. [June 2008, p.48]

A powerful and enjoyable photo editor. [Sept 2012, p.106]

Pretty damn ugly, but will make a little girl happy somewhere. [July 2007, p.70]

Not entirely convincing, and far less smooth than Nintendo's unnamed dog-related game. But it's well put-together feline fun with minigames. [June 2007, p.68]

Rabbids provide multiplayer lunacy and joy in a minigame collection that's one of the nicest on Wii at the moment. [Jan 2008, p.46]

If you like laughing and sweating - and especially both at the same time - this is Olympic gold. Some duff events, but you'll be giggling too hard to care. [Christmas 2007, p.44]

The puzzling work definitely hits the mark like a shovel to the jugular. [May 2008, p.74]

A simple, fluffy and light-hearted affair, but one that will charm your socks off and make you giggle if you give it a chance. [May 2009, p.74]

Mountain? Full marks. The curse? Less impressive. [Nov 2009, p.62]

It's not without its charms even if it's hardly a virtuoso performance. [Aug 2008, p.68]

Several goals behind arch-rivals PES. [Nov 2011, p.65]

This version is way too lightweight to recommend it as truly entertaining outright, but what it lacks in structure, is compensated in spades by its cute charm. [Nov 2007, p.41]

Great value. [Mar 2010, p.75]

Dungeon-crawling is deadly dull. [Dec 2006, p.50]

A game for hardened Gleeks only. [June 2011, p.67]

It looks fairly nice, the city is big and there's plenty to do. [Sept 2007, p.64]

A great toy to mess around with for an hour or two, with enough depth to the missions and extras to keep you coming back on a regular basis for months. [Dec 2008, p.52]

Working yourself into a state of anaemia hasn't - well, actually it has been this much fun before, but with added animal touchery this will still delight. [Nov 2006, p.64]

We know from other versions that this is a solid arcade racer, with fun modifying modes and slick visuals. On Wii it's a nightmare to control. For masochists only. [January 2007, p.45]

We'd wait for the more assured Lego Pirates instead. [Apr 2011, p.60]

Uninspired controls. [Jan 2009, p.70]

Multiplayer has the slight advantage. [Sept 2009, p.73]

A button-masher that's unlikely to set you ablaze. [Dec 2006, p.39]

It's hamstrung by a presentation problem - i.e., you can't read the questions. [June 2009, p.60]
