Two of the least memorable lightgun games we're ever played. [Oct 2010, p.61]

It's just another drab city full of shallow rent-a-goon fisticuffs. [Jan 2009, p.56]

Barely a game at all. [June 2011, p.65]

It's dull, unsatisfying far for fans of the movie or the less discerning gamer. [Aug 2006, p.66]

It's samey, stuff, though, even at a budget price. [Aug 2011, p.75]

The fighting's better than expected, but it's outdated, unimaginative and you'd want to wait for it to be cheaper. [Sept 2011, p.71]

Like an awful movie shown in the graveyard shift during a sleepless night, you'll hve fun, but only because there's nothing else going on. [Oct 2007, p.56]

The directional prompts are too vague, and the movement recognition seems even more slapdash than Just Dance's. [Christmas 2011, p.76]

It's just not much fun. [Winter 2009, p.70]

The combat is pedestrian and repetitive. [May 2010, p.69]

And the environments! Catastrophically dull. [July 2008, p.72]

Mario Kart 7 will put this pretender to shame. [Dec 2011, p.75]

Shame the developers don't feel Wii owners are able to handle the "proper" Top Spin, though. [Apr 2011, p.61]

Tedious backtracking. [Feb 2011, p.70]

Harvest Moon should stick to the cow-tending. [Dec 2009, p.70]

Forget calling it 'the one that comes with the plastic wheel'; this is 'the one with the shoddy graphics and limited control.'[January 2007, p.57]

Oozed originality on PS2 a few years back but now feels stale. Wii controls are weak. [May 2008, p.56]

Utterly uninspired stuff in every single way imaginable. [Jan 2008, p.55]

Even with a year to polish it up, Bleach feels like a rushed Wii launch job. Very poor. [Mar 2008, p.59]

If someone could give this a tidy-up with some spot-on physics and some real challenges it could be a gem. Shame. [Feb 2009, p.77]

Uninspired missions, repetitive gameplay, bored-sounding voiceovers, ugly graphics, painful controls. [July 2007, p.46]

It's a rather cute create-a-friend-to-play-minigames-with cart, sadly it's just a little short on the games. [June 2008, p.71]

Outdated, frustrating, repetitive and only intermittently fun. [June 2010, p.68]

An old-fashioned platformer with no challenge, no depth and no real point. Buy some classics on Virtual Console instead. [Winter 2009, p.50]

A very basic DS game dressed up for Wii. [Mar 2011, p.69]

A package riddled with niggles. [Sept 2009, p.69]

Uninspired. [July 2010, p.63]

Offering simultaneous play for eight players (four on nunchuks and four on remotes) with everyone playing on the same game screen, it's certainly a tempting idea. Unfortunately after five minutes with even just a couple of players, all the ball action becomes totally confused, empty and aimless.
