    With what we expected to be the main selling point - the parachuting - reduced to an introductory mission gimmick, Vanguard's bringing up the rear when it comes to WWII shooters. [May 2007, p.60]

    There's so few games, and it gets so madly repetitive, that you may as well spend your pennies on the site itself. [June 2007, p.70]

    • 74 Critic Score
    Fairly humorless, and mostly done with button not stylus, but a good play. [Aug 2007, p.70]

    Awkward and oh so frustrating - it's WWII through and through. [May 2007, p.48]

    • 61 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Cute and fun minigames, for the most part, but lacking drive or motivation for the player, with different tasks getting repetitive quickly. [JPN Import; May 2007, p.50]

    "Zoo Keeper: The RPG." As barmy as that might sound, that's about the best way to describe PQ: CTW. [June 2007, p.71]

    A bit empty in places but worth a go if you enjoys yer killin'. [May 2007, p.42]

    Kororinpa wowed us with its lithe 3D flexibility, but it lied about its depth. Now we're stuck: we can't ever go back to "Monkey Ball," but know we've been cheated. Life is so hard. [JPN Import; Mar 2007, p.48]
    • 60 Metascore
    • 59 Critic Score
    This is by no means the car crash of a game that Ubisoft's withholding led us to expect; it's more of a severe car scrape against a bollard. [June 2007, p.42]

    Basic, derivative, monotonous; but dressed up with some stylish visuals and the odd good bit, TMNT is impossible to entirely dislike, but equally impossible to recommend. [June 2007, p.57]

    Heralded by some as a potential "Pilotwings" replacement, this is in no way as deep, clever or fun. Naff missions tackled in a vehicle not even remotely handling like a plane. [JPN Import]
    • 58 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    Well worth a go but be warned that the designers care not for the concepts of reward, relaxation and human fatigue. It's quite a commitment. [June 2007, p.52]
    • 72 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Deep, involving management sim with an appealing theme and enough comical touches to make you forget that you're really playing a piece of A-level economics coursework. [May 2007, p.59]

    The fact that it's finishable in under four hours makes it just a weeny bit short. But for a side-on retro-fest, it does its job well enough. [June 2007, p.71]

    In English it reveals a lack of depth and some seriously irritating niggles. A real shame. [June 2007, p.50]

    Absolutely cast iron guaranteed to make you smile. [May 2007, p.60]

    Ridiculously easy yet frustrating all at once. [Aug 2007, p.70]

    No matter how well-crafted these features are, they all boil down to gameplay based on a swinging club - the one thing the game can't do. To misquote Twain: "PGA Tour 07 is a good franchise spoilt." [Apr 2007, p.46]

    • 22 Metascore

    It's astonishing that anyone would try and sell this as a complete game. Piffle ball more like. [Apr 2007, p.71]

    Not Pokemon. In fact the very reverse of Pokemon - fixing that which was broken and breaking that which was fixed. D'oh! [Apr 2007, p.67]

    With rabbids like this who needs enemies? Solid but very average platformer starring a fairly unresponsive hero. Still, the music's quite cheerful when it's not driving you mental.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    Plenty of typically interesting Wario ideas in another original and amusing platformer, but it's spoiled by a deeply uncomfortable and annoying control system. [Apr 2007, p.54]

    • 74 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    Huge, meaty, substantial. It's a Wii title without a minigame in sight, yet it's as well suited to a quick thrash down the slopes as it is an all-night sesh. A winter sports game for all seasons. [Apr 2007, p.36]

    Difficulty spikes are the last straw, leaving this as a good idea gone distinctly mediocre. [June 2007, p.70]

    • 69 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Polished and entertaining, but not without moments that make you scream and curse your slumsy playing. This is a great Wii start for a franchise we'd given up on years ago. [Apr 2007, p.42]
    • 34 Metascore
    • 24 Critic Score
    This fighter game gets a big fat F-.[May 2007, p.70]

    • 70 Critic Score
    It's a fun multiplayer-with-the-family experience, not really a keeper. [Jan. 2007, p.40]
    • Nintendo Gamer
    • 62 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    There is the sense that this is a series in need of a real change of direction; but for the time being, rejoice before one of the most entertaining multiplayer games on DS. [Dec 2006, p.42]
    • Nintendo Gamer
    • 82 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    A little low on humour and a little high on fiddliness, this is otherwise a nice RPG to sink your teeth into. [Apr 2007, p.68]
    • Nintendo Gamer
    • 63 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Yes, it's a less charming "Mario Kart," but this game is packed with ideas and fantastic racing. [Apr 2007, p.69]
