    One of the better party games. [June 2009, p.72]

    Initial excitement that this may be the next big thing soon subsides, but the adventure that remains is solid, entertaining stuff. [Apr 2009, p.64]

    No fun. [Apr 2009, p.46]

    Will the Large Hadron Collider end the world? Probably not. Ignoring MaBoShi on the other hand... that's a totally different story. You must get this. [Dec 2008, p.75]

    It somehow turns a shallow activity into a game with all the depth of a puddle. [Apr 2009, p.72]

    • 65 Critic Score
    Complex and hideous, but there's a lot to keep you occupied - if you're of the almost non-existent demographic that'll be interested in it. [Mar 2009, p.71]

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

    • 56 Metascore
    • 28 Critic Score
    Horribly dated and lazy, this mind-numbing puzzler only exists on Wii because of motion controls. [Apr 2009, p.70]
    • Nintendo Gamer
    • 42 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    There's a decent 3D platformer buried somewhere in SPRay, but a mass of bugs, poor design decisions and slipshod localisation makes it very hard to access. [Mar 2009, p.65]
    • Nintendo Gamer
    • 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]

    • 72 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    Spore Wars isn't quite the game we were hoping for but there is potential here for a future franchise if the uninspired level design is given a few tweaks. [Mar 2009, p.56]
    • Nintendo Gamer
    • 64 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Kudos for embracing the stylus, but you really need to have the basics of gameplay down before the snazzy controls. [Jan 2009, p.72]

    • 70 Metascore
    • 53 Critic Score
    A mediocre compilation of five average games. [Apr 2009, p.59]
    • Nintendo Gamer
    • 68 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    An original, challenging and addictive shooter that will keep you coming back to the shop menu to buy the rest of the downloadable levels. Episodic! Ace! [Dec 2008, p.75]
    • Nintendo Gamer
    • 52 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Unusual, fun and insane. [Mar 2009, p.73]

    Save your sesterces for something else. [Dec 2008, p.80]

    • 92 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    Not as perfect as grandad remembers, but its design quirks fade under an onslaught of unrelenting brilliance. [Mar 2009, p.68]
    • tbd Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    Pretty good motion controls, so why ruin them with bog standard, dull events? [May 2009, p.64]

    Epic missions will take a lot of train journeys to finish, but this comes recommended for players who know what they're doing and can tame the irritating controls. [Mar 2009, p.66]

    • 81 Metascore

    It's great for anyone who wants to learn to cook a bit more adventurously or simply expand their repertoire with something that isn't a celebrity cookbook. [Sept 2008, p.71]

    Just pick up a 99p quiz book instead. [Mar 2009, p.72]

    The Wii doesn't have a great history with skating games, but that's no reason to settle for a boring, charmless title such as this. [July 2009, p.72]

    • 70 Metascore
    • 46 Critic Score
    If the balance board controls worked, the game world wasn't so barren and there weren't severe balancing issues, this would be okay. [Feb 2009, p.64]

    There's loads to do. [Feb 2009, p.77]

    Ugly and uninspired, but with a cracking story. [Mar 2009, p.64]
    • Nintendo Gamer
    • 66 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    Mostly horrible, with a side order of decent enough. [Feb 2009, p.58]

    • 49 Metascore
    • 28 Critic Score
    Ultimately, there's no good reason whatsoever to play Castlevania: Judgment, save morbid curiosity. If you love terrible games as kitsch, it's worth a look. [Feb 2009, p.66]

    • 70 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    A brilliant, beautiful adventure that takes everything good about Tomb Raider and polishes it. One of the Wii gmaes of the year. [Jan 2009, p.54]
    • Nintendo Gamer
    • 70 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    A polished platformer with plenty of 'oooh' moments, but has ideas too big for its station. [Jan 2009, p.65]
    • Nintendo Gamer
    • 73 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    The visuals are spiffier, though, and the music is top-notch. [Dec 2009, p.69]
