    Ugly and uninspired, but with a cracking story. [Mar 2009, p.64]

    • 63 Critic Score
    Hardly an epic tournament, but if you've exhausted Smash Bros or Punch-Out!! you could do worse than try this. [Aug 2010, p.62]

    • 45 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Cribs some good ideas from the Wii title but implements them badly - much like every other element of the game. [Mar 2009, p.69]

    • 40 Critic Score
    A contradiction on wheels. [Nov 2011, p.75]

    • 45 Metascore
    • 38 Critic Score
    Heavy on the boyband adoration, light on the gameplay. [Apr 2010, p.70]

    • 45 Metascore
    • 24 Critic Score
    A terminal case. [Sept 2009, p.73]

    • 50 Critic Score
    Slightly better than the GC version, but that's not saying much. We'd much rather write about the genius of Bruce Campbell. [Mar 2007, p.63]
    • Nintendo Gamer
    • 45 Metascore
    • 49 Critic Score
    Too little, too late. A shameless, lazy cash-in on a venerable series, which ultimately feels totally pointless to play. [Feb 2009, p.70]
    • Nintendo Gamer
    • 45 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    The online multiplayer adds some value, but the core gameplay is repetitive to the max. [Oct 2008, p.74]
    • Nintendo Gamer
    • 45 Metascore
    • 66 Critic Score
    It fails to hit the bull. [Aug 2009, p.76]
    • Nintendo Gamer
    • 45 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Memorable, though perhaps not essential, playing. [Mar 2010, p.75]

    • 45 Metascore
    • 41 Critic Score
    Dull. [Feb 2010, p.69]
    • Nintendo Gamer
    • 45 Metascore
    • 35 Critic Score
    Considering how slick and glossy the presentation is, there's very little spark to the actual gameplay itself. [Sept 2012, p.109]
    • Nintendo Gamer
    • 45 Metascore
    • 26 Critic Score
    A very dull, poorly designed 2D platformer that fails to thrill or challenge. [Jan 2009, p.77]

    • 40 Critic Score
    Quotation forthcoming. [Sept 2010]
    • Nintendo Gamer
    • 44 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    A blatant rip-off that, if anything, isn't derivative enough, stealing only the surface ideas from LocoRoco, but ignoring the invention that lies underneath. [Mar 2009, p.73]
    • Nintendo Gamer
    • 44 Metascore
    • 59 Critic Score
    Don't expect anything taxing but there's just enough content to make this a worthwhile multiplayer title for the younger gamer. [Aug 2008, p.62]
    • Nintendo Gamer
    • 44 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    The source material deserves far better than this. [Apr 2008, p.73]
    • 44 Metascore
    • 41 Critic Score
    This is every bit the under-developed movie tie-in. [Aug 2008, p.63]
    • Nintendo Gamer
    • 44 Metascore
    • 61 Critic Score
    A neat idea, completely upended by the punishing difficulty. [Apr 2009, p.71]
    • Nintendo Gamer
    • 44 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    This game is still proof of how inaccurate the touch screen is capable of being, although we must admit that it is kind of relaxing. [Apr 2008, p.77]

    • 43 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    Sorry to disappoint, but if Safecracker is the ultimate puzzle adventure then we're a small punnet of strawberries. [Mar 2010, p.68]

    • 43 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Just what the doctor ordered - if he ordered brainy but slightly disappointing puzzle action. [Feb 2011, p.75]
    • Nintendo Gamer
    • 43 Metascore
    • 23 Critic Score
    A massively disappointing wrestle-fest that will leave fans with the taste of stale canvas in their mouths. Not good, basically. [Feb 2008, p.71]
    • Nintendo Gamer
    • 43 Metascore
    • 25 Critic Score
    We've never met Josh or Drake, or even seen their TV programme, but after enduring this awful mess of a game we wish we were still completely ignorant of them. [Nov 2007, p.72]
    • Nintendo Gamer
    • 43 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    The game becomes the chore it aims to send up. [Nov 2011, p.75]
    • Nintendo Gamer
    • 43 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Plays like a second-rate attempt to rip off a series that's not enjoyed a distinguished recent past itself. [March 2012, p.99]

    • 45 Critic Score
    Less Deep Blue Sea, and more In The Bin. [May 2008, p.74]
    • Nintendo Gamer
    • 43 Metascore
    • 59 Critic Score
    A good game spoiled quite badly by rough presentation and grainy graphics - not what you want when the whole thing is based on visual puzzles. [Feb 2008, p.63]
    • 43 Metascore
    • 35 Critic Score
    We reckon most kids won't be scared stiff by the monsters here - they'll be bored rigid. [Feb 2009, p.77]
