There's less meat on this than a turkey carcass after Boxing Day. [Feb 2009, p.68]

A lazy addition to a series that belongs on DS anyway. [Apr 2009, p.70]

If you like paintball, book a session of the real thing. [Christmas 2009, p.69]

There are some nice DS-specific ideas here, but not enough to keep you playing. [May 2009, p.79]

Another engrossing and attractive RPG adventure. [Oct 2010, p.62]

As innovative as a zero-effort PS2 conversion that makes no use of the Wii's features. [Jan 2009, p.60]

Courses are angular and riddled with pop-up, and the impression of speed is created by what looks like dandruff flying off your car's roof. [Feb 2009, p.76]

Not quite as stuffed with content as "SSX Blur" but the charm-filled SWS takes snowboarding games to new heights with its controls. [Christmas 2008, p.52]

Uninspired controls. [Jan 2009, p.70]

Dark, brutal and cinematic. [Jan 2009, p.57]
