As a happy-go-lucky bit of racket-fuelled froth it'll keep you pleasantly diverted. [June 2008, p.70]

Pro Evo scores a screamer on its Wii debut. Despite iffy defending and no Master League, this is top quality footie action. Champion.

This is a game that rewards patience and routine. [June 2008, p.63]

It's harmless, but hardly worth bothering with. [May 2008, p.74]

Loses a tiny little something if you're not ever going to see the four-player stuff, but it's undoubtedly a very cool and enjoyable hack-'em-up no matter how you play.

Terrible platforming and puzzling. [June 2008, p.58]

It's incredibly slick. [Dec 2008, p.80]

A brilliant Zapper title with plenty to offer. [May 2008, p.52]

Nintendo love spills from every pore and the multiplayer can't be beat, but Smash Bros risks growing too familiar. It never breeds contempt, but it doesn't quite muster that Galaxy magic.

And the environments! Catastrophically dull. [July 2008, p.72]

Quite charming and colourful RTS, with a simple and accessible stylus-only control scheme and a fun multiplayer. Not really that much depth for hardened RTSites though. [Sept 2007, p.65]

A classy cinematic adventure with bite-sized, mission-based gameplay and the most viciously funny script we've ever heard. It's a real gem, and excellent on Wii. [Apr 2008, p.48]

Although not quite as challenging as it could have been, there is still much fun to be had in this quaint little forestry world. [June 2008, p.55]

Not big, not clever, not even funny. [May 2008, p.63]

A mediocre entry in the Bub and Bob saga, too irritating to ever be absorbing, and missing the sparkle of the mighty original. Some nice ideas meet the frustration of poor level design. [Apr 2007, p.56]

Despite a selection of new courses and modes, this feels dated. The tournament mode is enjoyable, but with no multiplayer you'll struggle to have a reely good time.

Pointy, clicky, and not terribly good. [Apr 2008, p.72]

Oozed originality on PS2 a few years back but now feels stale. Wii controls are weak. [May 2008, p.56]

Not bad little quests in theory, but anyone over the age of 11 will find them torturous. [May 2008, p.75]

This is a truly sub-par DQ effort. Genius Sonority managed to spoil "Pokemon Battle Revolution" and they weave that same inept magic here. [JPN Import; Oct 2007, p.64]

Not exactly the dazzling reinvention we hoped for, but Apollo Justice more than holds his own. [May 2008, p.55]

This is too creaky to forgive. [June 2008, p.55]

Perhaps a bit redundant to release what's essentially a two decade old game, but dammit, it still has a place in our hearts. [Mar 2007, p.81]

Lots of variety, good use of the touch screen. [May 2008, p.73]

Not recommended, but not not-recommended. [May 2008, p.64]

Nothing to see here. [May 2008, p.65]

Controls seem fluid once you get the hang of them, but the customisation/grooming is worse than some GBA animal games - and they don't have a ready-made stroking device in the form of the Wii remote. [Jan 2008, p.65]

We can't dismiss it entirely because it does have a nice-looking bonus update of classic Bomberman. But the adventure mode is seriouly poor. Think twice, bomberfans.
