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]

The graphics are awful, the hip soundtrack uninspiring and the pre-match taunting cringeworthy. [Nov 2008, p.75]

The trouble with Line Rider 2 is that while it's not short of options, the core idea can wear tin quite quickly. [Dec 2008, p.81]

It's as a never-before-played adventure that Dragon Quest most impresses. Forgive it its age and appreciate its forward-thinking. We be tellin' yers so.

A game that somehow manages to be incredibly offensive by being so bland and inoffensive that you want to rip its beating heart right out. [Dec 2008, p.78]

Highly amusing premise, but as the game goes on, the returns diminish sharply. Do give it a whirl though. [Dec 2008, p.68]

Save the 30 quid and spend it on a side salad in one of Gordon's restaurants instead. It'll be better and should last longer than this pile of ****. [Dec 2008, p.62]

A great port of a game that feels like it was always made to be played on the move - and with DS controls. [Nov 2008, p.64]

It's not a new idea but it's done well on DS, with enough variety to hook you. A good budget addition to a puzzle fan's library. [Dec 2008, p.66]

Lock's Quest is definitely a slow burner and takes a while to get going. Invest your time, however, and you'll be rewarded with a solid and competent strategy game. [Dec 2008, p.67]

Not particularly flamboyant, but thoroughly entertaining. Forget those block puzzle relics on Virtual Console and give the new blood a go. [Dec 2008, p.74]

Perversely, there are complex ideas in here but the game itself is pretty simple, rather repetitive and often clumsy. [Nov 2008, p.62]

Unashamed, out-and-out action. [Dec 2008, p.76]

You'll think you've snagged a winner to begin with, but reeling in boot after metaphorical boot reminds you that this is the same old Rapala. [Dec 2008, p.63]

If you're not allowed a real fish tank this is a reasonable compromise, but it's really no substitute from the real thing, or for an actual game. [Oct 2008, p.74]

Unbelievably annoying and liable to trigger extreme rage at any moment, but it's as addictive as it is nasty, and worth a punt for masochistic fans of the online original. [Dec 2008, p.71]

An utterly comprehensive yet soulless golf sim. Perhaps it's time the game was reworked instead of just adding another five courses and an idiot mode. [Dec 2008, p.55]

Once you get over the rock hard cornering, you'll be well away. [Mar 2008]

Dogs and cats to play with plus a load of other animals and a small business and a house... Hours of fun for animal-kids. [Dec 2008, p.66]

This is a labour of love rather than carefree gaming enjoyment, but it's one of the best "Moons" in a while. A very happy tenth birthday for the series. [Dec 2008, p.69]

It isn't quite the game we were hoping for, but taken as another Mario sports game rather than a baseball sim, it's as solid and enjoyable as you'd expect. [JPN Import; Sept 2008, p.52]

The whole concept of Helix is better encapsulated in one of "Rayman 3"'s minigames. Alas, Helix isn't even remote-ly fun or entertaining. [Dec 2008, p.74]

A bit disappointing. [Dec 2008, p.79]

Gives you the freedom to keep the game going indefinitely, if that's your thing. [June 2008, p.60]

If you have the 07 or 08 versions then only get this for online play. If not, it's worth a punt. [Nov 2008, p.58]

Almost identical to last year's version, so watch out if you were expecting something new for your 30 quid. [Nov 2008, p.58]

Comical catnip for fans. [Nov 2008, p.72]

There was nothing wrong with it last time, and this is the same except with a more polished track editor. Top stuff for real driving fans. [July 2008, p.69]
