It's brilliant, compelling, and the Wi-Fi score stakes are high. [May 2008, p.65]

We want the fancy controller. [Sept 2008, p.70]

Ignore all the neon '80s nonsense going on around it and this is a solid game. There's plenty of it, and it gets tough as old boots as well. [Sept 2008, p.68]

Cocoto can bore you into thinking you're having a good time, but it's a poorly executed game that's been done much better before elsewhere. [Sept 2008, p.68]

A great concept hampered by some boring level design and clumsy interfaces. [Sept 2008, p.56]

Jake Hunter should come with a health warning: may caus lung cancer. [Sept 2008, p.71]

Despite our misgivings about the game's long-term appeal, Soul Bubbles is still considerably more polished and better produced than the vast majority of DS software.

It's not without its charms even if it's hardly a virtuoso performance. [Aug 2008, p.68]

It makes a nice Wii Channel. Could have done with something more substantial. [June 2008, p.67]

There's a certain amount of fun to be had smashing everything to pieces, but no longevity. [Oct 2008, p.76]

Abomination more like. [Sept 2008, p.70]

A perfect foil for the well-received film, well designed and executed. But their respective running times are rather too close for comfort. [Oct 2008, p.71]

As essential as buying the DVD box set of the first three films. Just a bit Lego-ier. [Aug 2008, p.54]

Treacle-slow gameplay and, unless you love generic sci-fi future visions, very little incentive to soldier on. [Sept 2008, p.67]

Ideal for dip-in, dip-out puzzling play, but with the smarts to outlast many other titles. [Aug 2008, p.74]

LOL certainly brought out the funny in the NGamer office, but apart from that this is about as lightweight as DS games come. [Sept 2008, p.64]

Bone idle. Soulless. Death warmed up. Putting the grim in Grim Reaper. Afterlife? No life. We could go on, but we can't will ourselves to. Avoid.

Retro fans will bemoan the left out favourite bits, while newcomers will feel it's a little bit simple. [Sept 2008, p.65]

Don't be fooled by the pointer controls or other fripperies. [Aug 2008, p.75]

You can look at Wii Fit in two ways. On one hand it's a pretty comprehensive selection of exercises, cleanly presented and given a novel twist thanks to the board. Alternatively, you can see it as a series of lacklustre tasks that beautifully demonstrate the technical abilities of the board, decorated with the silly lifestyle trappings we're willing to overlook as long as Ninty keep delivering the proper gaming goods.

Very poor value for money. [JPN Import; June 2008, p.68]

A teeth-grindingly stupid premise belies a few okay gameplay ideas. [Aug 2008, p.75]

A good game spoiled quite badly by rough presentation and grainy graphics - not what you want when the whole thing is based on visual puzzles. [Feb 2008, p.63]

A shallow affair when played solo, but with seven of the sports providing a good grin in multiplayer, this is a decent addition to the mini-game genre. [July 2008, p.66]

It doesn't reinvent the winter sports genre but it does understand the limits of the board and knows how to be charming with them. A really pleasant surprise. [June 2008, p.48]

Genre fans won't find much challenge here but it's diverting enough while it lasts. [Aug 2008, p.68]

Massively enjoyable, tantalisingly addictive and packed with possibilities. [Aug 2008, p.73]

A Very Ignorant Purchase. [Aug 2008, p.75]
