Achingly samey, but wholesome fun in small, level-sized bursts. [June 2011, p.63]

It fails to hit the bull. [Aug 2009, p.76]

With a few tweaks this could have been quite the sports package. But as things stand, it's as missable as an Emile Heskey chance on goal.

It's exactly the same as the GC game. [Sept 2007, p.41]

Hardly likely to set the world alight. [Dec 2006, p.44]

Crude presentation and lack of content don't completely let down what's undeniably a fascinating idea. They try really hard, though making this a worthwhile but insubstantial game. [Jan 2012, p.115]

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

Although it has a good stab at open-world platforming, this soon turns into a chore. [Nov 2009, p.58]

It's the same DDR as it ever was, but the inclusion of even more gimmicks just waters it down rather an improves it. Hard to recommend. [Apr 2010, p.66]

"Quotation Forthcoming"

It's a disheartening slurp backwards when compared to "Eledees," but there are enough unique ideas here to warrant a rental when it comes out in the UK. [JPN Import; Nov 2007, p.46]

Not a bad effort. [Oct 2010, p.65]

A rather sweet entry-level graphics package. [Mar 2011, p.68]

Cute and fun minigames, for the most part, but lacking drive or motivation for the player, with different tasks getting repetitive quickly. [JPN Import; May 2007, p.50]

An action RPG with the plot stripped out and replaced by pure, constant fighting and levelling-up. Sound good to you? Perhaps, but perhaps not if you're a Mana stalwart. [Mar 2007, p.78]

Complex and hideous, but there's a lot to keep you occupied - if you're of the almost non-existent demographic that'll be interested in it. [Mar 2009, p.71]

The presentation will attract younger gamers but unless you're adept at this gaming lark The Chase could prove frustrating. [May 2009, p.78]

Basic, shallow and sickeningly cute, New Inernational Track & Field is fine fo a five-minute blast. Just don't expect to stay entertained for long. [July 2008, p.71]

The lanes are nice and shiny, but "Wii Sports" is still our top banana for Wii Bowling. [June 2008, p.71]

Genre fans won't find much challenge here but it's diverting enough while it lasts. [Aug 2008, p.68]

It might look like a Burnout for kids but it doesn't play that way. [Christmas 2009, p.50]

If you've never heard of Ben 10 you're too old to play it (which is most of us), but for action-loving tykes this is a surprisingly well-made title. [Christmas 2007, p.58]

It would be great if all the buttons were accessible and you didn't have to use a D-pad. [May 2011, p.59]
