    Another brave effort at roping in friends and family for pretend sportery but it lacks polish. [July 2009, p.61]

    With a swing of his fist Bowser barges his way into the pantheon of classic Ninty heroes. Expect a wide grin from start to finish.

    A grand old gaming franchise that's looking extremely creaky in 2008 on Wii. [June 2008, p.52]
