    Still great, but if you have last year's game there's little reason to shell out. [Dec 2011, p.69]

    • 37 Critic Score
    Unoriginal get competent platforming, dismal vehicle interludes. Devoid of fresh ideas. [Dec 2011, p.68]

    • 80 Critic Score
    A fun, silly, occasionally challenging romp. [Dec 2011, p.67]

    Flacid combat. [Dec 2011, p.66]

    • 66 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Good-looking and fan-pleasing, but a bit short. [Dec 2011, p.65]

    • 69 Critic Score
    The levels are action packed, but it gets too samey too quickly. [Dec 2011, p.64]

    • 90 Critic Score
    As conflicted a Mario game as we've ever played, but an undeniable 3DS achievement. [Dec 2011, p.58]

    • 77 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    We were hoping for something more inventive, more memorable. [Dec 2011, p.56]

    • 56 Critic Score
    Does an awful lot, but it fails to do any of it well. [Dec 2011, p.52]
    • Nintendo Gamer
    • 93 Metascore
    • 98 Critic Score
    A huge departure for Zelda and a proper arrival for motion controls. Link's latest is rule-breaking, dream-weaving, tech-loving, heart-soaring stuff. [Dec 2011, p.45]
    • Nintendo Gamer
    • 66 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    Mario & Sonic fills the multiplayer gap, and does it with good-humoured minigames and a renewed focus on throwaway Olympic fun. As far as party games go, it's the gold standard.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    A lazy, ugly, soulless, cheeky and cheap rip-off. But just about competent with it. [Nov 2011, p.77]
    • Nintendo Gamer
    • 81 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Does little to stand out, but is deep and rewarding once you get the hang of it. [Nov 2011, p.76]

    Explosive Megamix is about as welcome as explosive diarrhoea. [Nov 2011, p.75]
    • Nintendo Gamer
    • 45 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    A contradiction on wheels. [Nov 2011, p.75]

    Ugly sprite work. [Nov 2011, p.75]

    The game becomes the chore it aims to send up. [Nov 2011, p.75]

    It makes Space Jam look like a sophisticated and well-considered movie. [Nov 2011, p.73]
    • Nintendo Gamer
    • 33 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A hasty rush job. [Nov 2011, p.73]

    • 48 Critic Score
    The tracklist isn't bad. [Nov 2011, p.72]

    • tbd Metascore
    • 52 Critic Score
    We find it difficult to recommend something with so little originality or craft. [Nov 2011, p.72]
    • Nintendo Gamer
    • 84 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    A stern memory and reflex test. [Nov 2011, p.69]
    • tbd Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    Forgive the game's ruff edges and pug ugly looks and you'll find there's a fair amount of fun in this barking mad idea. [Nov 2011, p.68]

    • 67 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    Several goals behind arch-rivals PES. [Nov 2011, p.65]
    • Nintendo Gamer
    • 55 Metascore
    • 38 Critic Score
    Thunderously dumb combat in an endless succession of technically borked corridors. [Nov 2011, p.65]
    • Nintendo Gamer
    • 74 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Charming, imaginative. [Nov 2011, p.63]
    • 64 Metascore
    • 56 Critic Score
    Looks like it should be fun but the minigames are mostly sub-Monkey Ball rubbish and the controls leave us as cold as Kawawii's frosty peaks. [Nov 2011, p.60]
    • 83 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Probably best to play the other ones first, but still a fine puzzler if you haven't. [Nov 2011, p.54]
    • 64 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    BlazBlue's gameplay survives the iffy conversion thanks to its sheer infectious energy, but this should have been a great deal better than it is.
    • 36 Metascore
    • 47 Critic Score
    With a few more months' development this might have come good. But in this state not even Professor Xavier could convince us to play it again.
