    Too similar to the first game, including the not-that-good platforming. [Winter 2009, p.67]

    A contemptible chore. [Winter 2009, p.57]

    Top-class music game with great tunes and difficulty levels to suit beginners and experts alike. Shame about the 'aspirational' pricing. [Winter 2009, p.50]

    • 68 Critic Score
    Simplistic and repetitive and not at all realistic, but quite endearing all the same. [Christmas 2009, p.61]

    There isn't much to separate Africa from the first SimAnimals. [Christmas 2009, p.70]

    This is barely one evolutionary step beyond the likes of Sonic & Sega All Stars Racing. [June 2010, p.71]

    It's the same DDR as it ever was, but the inclusion of even more gimmicks just waters it down rather an improves it. Hard to recommend. [Apr 2010, p.66]

    Works better than the first. [Christmas 2009, p.64]

    25 quid for four minigames. [Christmas 2009, p.70]

    A decent yarn with unashamedly retro mechanics. [Christmas 2009, p.67]

    Bitten by a radioactive librarian, MSHS developed a superhuman ability to suck the life from the room. [Winter 2009, p.63]

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

    • 84 Critic Score
    There's a ridiculous amount of content here for those who fancy it. [Winter 2009, p.84]
    • Nintendo Gamer
    • 75 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    It looks younger and is simpler to play than previous seasons but there's still plenty of challenge here. Goals galore! [Dec 2009, p.54]

    You're basically doing the same thing. [Feb 2010, p.68]

    For non-Bakugan followers this is, quite literally, balls. [Christmas 2009, p.70]

    We don't like it, but can't be bothered to hate it. [Feb 2010, p.66]

    It's totally broken. [Jan 2010, p.74]
    • Nintendo Gamer
    • 80 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    Lovingly crafted, sure, but for a game revolving around the rich variety of jelly beans A Boy And His Blob can be flavourless stuff.

    It addresses just about every criticism we had about the summer game. [Winter 2009, p.44]

    Solid if unspectacular. [Winter 2009, p.64]

    • 39 Metascore
    • 57 Critic Score
    Truly scary and, for fans of the films, probably worth experiencing, but this is frustrating and clumsy to actually play. [Dec 2009, p.62]

    • 62 Critic Score
    Better than average film tie-in. [Christmas 2009, p.70]
    • Nintendo Gamer
    • 54 Metascore
    • 48 Critic Score
    Weak, tiresome and devoid of almost any excitement whatsoever. [Winter 2009, p.66]

    • 59 Metascore
    • 42 Critic Score
    Cuter than it is fun. The Squeeballs need more time in the toy factory before they're unleashed on gamers again. [Winter 2009, p.62]

    They didn't get their heads around the stylus. [Winter 2009, p.70]

    • 61 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    The most interesting thing from the PC original put into a simple platform game that's marred by some unexciting minigames.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 59 Critic Score
    The main problem with Spore Hero Arena isn't that the detail of your creature is lost in a haze of pixels, but that the whole game is rather dull. [Winter 2009, p.70]
    • Nintendo Gamer
    • 48 Metascore
    • 41 Critic Score
    Easy, boring and often massively annoying. Yet another entry on the ever-growing list of sub-par Star Wars games. [Winter 2009, p.56]
    • Nintendo Gamer
    • 82 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A game that doesn't know what it wants to be and ends up much less exciting than it should have been. Atmospheric but empty.
