    While the combat is quite fun, with new skills frequently added, it's also a bit too repetitive, and baddies are quite happy to stand still while you fill them with arrows. [Dec 2006, p.55]

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

    A bumper festive parcel. [Jan 2010, p.74]

    More rewarding and far less cynical than the stacks of horse-pet games. [Oct 2011, p.62]

    This latest attempt to wrestle Pokemon from the hands of children and replace it with Disney's own Spectrobes fails again. [Nov 2009, p.59]

    The lack of single-cart multiplayer is a bit hard on on the piggy bank. [Mar 2010, p.68]

    Another brave effort at roping in friends and family for pretend sportery but it lacks polish. [July 2009, p.61]

    Genuinely playable. [Nov 2006, p.77]

    Patience and perseverance are required. [Dec 2007, p.]

    A cute enough attempt to perk up the Mama franchise but a mere change of scenery isn't enough to disguise the same old gameplay. [July 2009, p.74]

    When cutting and pasting "Mario Kart" into a Pac-Man template, someone forgot to include the folder marked "Incredible Fun." Does anyone really like Pac-Man a a person? [Nov 2006, p.58]

    A delightfully tacky ninja fantasy. [Dec 2011, p.71]

    The tracklist is weaker too. [Dec 2011, p.73]

    A bit of a mish-mash, with environmental puzzles leading into distinct combat sections or explory bits. [Sept 2009, p.72]

    • 61 Critic Score
    Interesting in an "only in Japan" fasion but both the dialogue and the battles drag on. And on. And on. Manga fans will like it though. [Mar 2010, p.59]

    Retro fans will bemoan the left out favourite bits, while newcomers will feel it's a little bit simple. [Sept 2008, p.65]

    A neat idea, completely upended by the punishing difficulty. [Apr 2009, p.71]

    A decent port of the PC game. [July 2010, p.66]

    A good first step, but not brave enough to venture very far. [Oct 2010, p.57]

    Online play with rankings tables and Mii support is the big draw (no pun intended) here. [June 2009, p.73]

    Lacks the charm, fluid controls and, crucially, wit of the brilliant Wii game. [July 2010, p.56]

    Not the best Bit.Trip we've played but a worthy - and different - addition to the series. [Issue#56, p.75]

    Only inflict on youngsters when you're absolutely desperate. [May 2008, p.75]
