Fan of the first? You'll probably have a blast online. [Jan 2008, p.38]

An incomparable gaming experience, well worth the expense. And Wi-Fi (co-op and competitive) means no need to splash out on a second guitar. Deserves to be a rocking hit. [Christmas 2007, p.40]

Genuinely atmospheric and unnervingly scary - a grown up treat for your DS. [Jan 2008, p.60]

Scratch your head in tragi-comic woe as you try to decipher the game's cryptic instructions! [Mar 2008, p.71]

A completely manic fighting game that makes it satisfyingly simple to do some impressively simple moves. [Jan 2008, p.54]

The thrill of the eureka moment is Zack And Wiki's currency. Combine this with a control scheme that puts even first-party efforts to shame, and you've got the easiest Zack And Wiki conundrum to solve: should you buy it? The score's a hint.

A fluid run-jump-fire actioner with something new at every turn. [JPN Import; Oct 2007, p.72]

The best in the series. [Dec 2007, p.68]

Namco have done much better retro remixes. [July 2008, p.64]

Great characters, great value, an addictive story and loads of furious fighting fun. [June 2008, p.51]

Survive like Ray Mears while fretting over how good you look in a grass skirt. It's a whole news Sims experience. [Christmas 2007, p.50]

The only people who'll be able to get through this game are those who already know how to tell the difference between C and F. [Jan 2008, p.65]

Compared to this month's "Thrillville," EA Playground is severely lacking. Don't let the EA brand influence you - the kid in you will much prefer the theme park over the playground. [Christmas 2007, p.53]

As playable as the Wii version. But without some of the Wii game's key features, it feels a bit flat. [Christmas 2007, p.50]

This looks a bit lightweight when you think it's this or "Galaxy" for the same price, but it's a decent addition to Sypro's post-PlayStation gameography. [Christmas 2007, p.62]

Fiendishly hard and rewarding in equal measure. [Dec 2007, p.56]

If you think of it as a kind of a spin on Wii Sports Tennis, then you might enjoy elements of this. Unfortunately, with the disappointing controls you should probably give it a miss.

So yawningly uneventful we were able to play it with one eye, while watching Flight of the Conchords with the other. A waste of disc. [Christmas 2007, p.67]

We can't see what anyone will gain from this that they couldn't gain tenfold from a good novel and a dictionary. [Feb 2008, p.71]

It's highly addictive, some puzzles are fiendish and stylus controls trounce mouse clicks. [Nov 2008, p.75]

This substantial race-against-the-clock ball puzzler will reduce even the most hardcore player to a sobbing emotional wreck in need of institutionalisation. In a good way. Not one for the lazy. [May 2007, p.54]

Only the most hardcore fans are going to persevere with it, and even then it just doesn't work properly. [Jan 2008, p.52]

2D fighters aren't so cool now, so GGXXAC was never going to unite the gaming world like "Street Fighter 2" did back in the early nineties, but it might just unite your frienids. [JPN Import; Nov 2007, p.48]

Imagine "Ninjabread Man" with all the cakes taken out and replaced by musical stuff. Congratulations - you've just invented Rock 'N Roll Adventures! [Christmas 2007, p.65]

As a pinball game, it's up there. As entertainment, it stares blankly at you and occasionally farts. Concrete-proof pinball belongs in the arcade.

A very poor effort that doesn't succeed on any level. [Feb 2008, p.54]

Even with a year to polish it up, Bleach feels like a rushed Wii launch job. Very poor. [Mar 2008, p.59]

Despite having all the components for a promising game, this is a complete disappointment. [Feb 2008, p.65]
