It'll take more than invisible crates to win us over. [Nov 2009, p.65]

Looks like it should be fun but the minigames are mostly sub-Monkey Ball rubbish and the controls leave us as cold as Kawawii's frosty peaks. [Nov 2011, p.60]

One of the not-at-all-interesting ideas, though, is that there's no tutorial. At all. [June 2007, p.70]

Captivating adventure gaming, sadly ruined by a horrible port. [May 2010, p.52]

It's not great. [May 2011, p.48]

One of the worst Worms games in memory. [May 2008, p.62]

Exactly what you were expecting from a pinball title. That's either a good or bad thing, depending on your level of Tommy-esque wizardry. [Feb 2008, p.74]

Bizarre controls aside, this is an unusually thoughtful port that at least attempts to do something different. [Oct 2011, p.63]

Everything's got that cute MySims sheen but it feels hollow. [June 2009, p.75]

On par with the 360 version of the same name. This will tingle your heart strings just as much as your fingers. [Dec 2006, p.36]

This one is let down slightly by a poor conversion from the PC original. [Feb 2008, p.71]

If Phoenix Wright is a TV season boxset, Time Hollow is an HBO miniseries. It all feels quite minor, but it's certainly intriguing while it lasts. [Dec 2008, p.74]

Amounts to nothing more than walking along a featureless corridor while somebody tells you an abridged version of the GoldeneEye plot. [Christmas 2010, p.72]

Sky-high production values, lavish special effects and great fun to explore with a friend. A highly enjoyable adventure that you'll happily forgive for its shortcomings. [Christmas 2008, p.63]

The relaxing way to shoot things. [Aug 2008, p.74]

Unashamed, out-and-out action. [Dec 2008, p.76]

Predictable but okay. [Sept 2007, p.50]

A slight game, but novel and satisfying. However, it's not for those with a limited supply of patience. [Jan 2011, p.73]

Utterly tiresome. [Oct 2007, p.76]

There's no denying what it does do is gripping, challenging and enjoyable. [Sept 2012, p.107]

No amount of Simpsons love justifies sitting through this much clumsy mediocrity. [Jan 2008, p.42]

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.

Not disastrous, but lacking finesse. [Sept 2012, p.109]

A limited single-player experience is supported by a brilliant (if basic) multiplayer mode. Very much a case of style over substance, but the substance it does have should keep you entertained for a while.

Pillage and plunder in a nice sort of way. Don't expect to be told what's going on, but as soon as you figure it out for yourself you'll be fine. [Issue#56, p.69]
