The real downer is the price, which is ludicrously sky-high for something so simple. [Feb 2010, p.73]

Very edutaining for the under-eights. [Dec 2007, p.70]

It's hobbled by a poor frame rate and spectacularly horrible visuals. [Christmas 2011, p.76]

Solving puzzles suits the bear-hurling format. It's a shame about the terrible motion controls though. [Aug 2010, p.76]

Pointy, clicky, and not terribly good. [Apr 2008, p.72]

Kingdoms is still playable, but after the delights of the two Puzzle Quests, this is a real letdown. [Nov 2009, p.72]

A novel creation tool, which should give rise to any number of inspired (read: terrifying) creations. [Christmas 2011, p.80]

Kirby's first outing puts the Wii game to shame - pity it's so crushed onscreen. [Christmas 2011, p.81]

That old Samba magic is still there, but the challenge is in beating the controls, not the game. This should have been way better, given the console's strengths. [Nov 2008, p.56]

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

Wi-Fi makes an ideal way for serious layers to practise for forthcoming events. [Mar 2007, p.81]

What could have been a great celebration of a truly odd universe is scuppered by a lack of effort. [Dec 2009, p.56]

Newcomers should steer clear. [Oct 2008, p.77]

There's a surprising amount of depth to the combat, which only makes the sluggish movement and decision to use an isometric view more maddening. [Mar 2007, p.81]

The whole thing feels quite cheap. [Winter 2009, p.70]

Competent. [July 2010, p.71]
