Hardly epic and in no way legendary, but this contains mild thrills - if you can come to terms with how outdated it all is. [Aug 2009, p.71]

An unsophisticated disappointment. [Aug 2006, p.67]

This repetitious trudge is nothing to do with Soul Calibur beyond some character skins, and should be avoided unless you want to lose the will to live. [Feb 2008, p.52]

A polished, professional, utterly frustrating and totally nonsensical experience. So much effort has been wasted on this it's tragic. [Dec 2008, p.79]

A sedate management game that's a little lacking when it comes to variety or excitement. [Aug 2010, p.77]

Leaden and clumsy. [June 2010, p.62]

One for the sin bin. [Dec 2009, p.71]

Instantly forgettable. [Sept 2007, p.66]

A must for Bionicle fans and decenet, trashy fun for everyone else. But the controls are poor. [May 2007, p.52]

Boring, truncated and better experienced elsewhere. [May 2011, p.64]

Never trust a board game designer to do a math's professors job. This is too lightweight to be of note. [May 2008, p.72]

Whatever nuance there is to swing control is lost in the five-hour bowler animation. [Dec 2007, p.54]

Cocoto can bore you into thinking you're having a good time, but it's a poorly executed game that's been done much better before elsewhere. [Sept 2008, p.68]

Unusual, fun and insane. [Mar 2009, p.73]

The motion controls don't make for a very intuitive way of playing. [Dec 2007, p.55]

It's neither educational or entertaining enough. [Jan 2010, p.72]

It's not quite original or addictive enough to compete with the best in the casual genre, but this is a polished and fun enough game that's unlikely to be a purchase you regret. [July 2012, p.107]

Smart and cute. [Mar 2011, p.73]

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

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]

It's a massive rip-off of Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training. [Christmas 2011, p.77]

You'd think that the Wii would be suited to a darts game. It may very well be, but this sure ain't it. [Apr 2008, p.67]

Nice characters, though. [Aug 2011, p.69]

A dumb, frustrating and forgettable shooter, but a completely unpretentious one too. [Nov 2009, p.64]

More disappointing than the first outing. [Mar 2009, p.74]

Uninspired. [Apr 2010, p.74]

It tries its best, but it simply isn't good enough. Too frustrating for younger players, and too fussy and inconsiderate for anyone else. Still, if you must... [Aug 2006, p.56]

More a party game than a sports sim, but not a particularly good one. [May 2010, p.64]
