Tournament of Legends won't immediately appeal to Soulcalibur crowd--the controls won't come naturally, but once you learn the ropes(or lack thereof, given that matches don't take place in a ring)you'll find a challenging, well-balanced game that can be a whole lot of fun with friends. [Aug 2010, p.90]- Nintendo Power

Powerful Hyper mode and Force Metals make the turn-based battling fun. [Dec 2004, p.144]- Nintendo Power

What makes the game frustrating is that the viruses appear onscreen randomly and start congealing quickly, so you don't have a lot of time to plan ahead for chaining opportunities--which can be a problem when you're tasked with performing three chains of seven in three minutes. [May 2008, p.88]- Nintendo Power

Although a fixed overhead view makes control awkward on the green, the rest of the controls are intuitive. [Feb 2004, p.155]- Nintendo Power

I admit that I wasn't expecting much from Nacho Libre--games based on comedy flicks don't have the best track records--but beneath the intentionally goofy presentation, silly moves, and photo-cutout-style characters, there's a pretty good wrestling game. [Dec. 2006, p.115]- Nintendo Power

The game's six caddies offer humorous advice as you play. [Dec 2002, p.214]- Nintendo Power

After a couple of mediocre attempts to capture Spidey's movie magic on the DS, it seems that Vicarious Visions has finally gotten it right. [July 2007, p.95]- Nintendo Power

The gameplay changes hardly justify a sequel so soon after the first Star Force, but series fans should have fun regardless. [July 2008, p.87]- Nintendo Power

Still, if you want some old-fashioned Sonic speed on the DS, this collection will do you: it comprises Sonics 1, 2, and 3, Sonic & Knuckles, plus the Knuckles-ized versions of Sonic 2 and 3(without any Lock-On Technology). [Apr 2010, p.87]- Nintendo Power

The game's on the easy side, too, but it's still a solid platform-action title. [jan. 2007, p.114]- Nintendo Power

"Super Mario 64 DS" set a high bar for DS-ified N64 classics; sadly, Rayman DS doesn't alter the gameplay, include new worlds, or throw in any surprises. [May 2005, p.90]- Nintendo Power

2006 FIFA World Cup on the DS is a mixed bag of things that work well and things that don't. [Jun 2006, p.86]- Nintendo Power

The game may be too easy for some, but this spin-off adventure made it to Wii mostly unscathed. [Nov 2009, p.86]- Nintendo Power

It improves upon its predecessor in every respect. [Nov 2009, p.86]- Nintendo Power

In the GBA side-scrolling platformer, George must traipse through the jungle, stow away on a cruise ship, and then chase down an artifact that has been stolen from the local museum--a journey that will eventually lead him back to the jungle from where he came. [Apr 2006, p.86]- Nintendo Power

The game employs more searching and item-use than its predecessor, but the focus is still on frantic fighting. [Sept 2003, p.140]- Nintendo Power

All of the games in the Wii collection sport a surface-level cleverness that makes them brilliant demos of what the Wii means for the future of game design, but only a few of them offer enough depth for repeated visits. [Mar. 2007, p.86]- Nintendo Power

It's massive, it's fun and its multiplayer mode goes beyond that of a game designed strictly to appease Digimon fans. [July 2005, p.97]- Nintendo Power

As a result, although Grimoire of the Rift is another solid effort that's sure to scratch your tactical itch, the original Tactics remains the pinnacle of the series. [July 2008, p.86]- Nintendo Power

Belongs at the top of the color-matching puzzle games heap, along with "Pokemon Puzzle League." [Apr 2003, p.136]- Nintendo Power

Crude content aside, it's a solid and enjoyable BMX riding game. [Feb 2003, p.155]- Nintendo Power

As a game it's fun enough; it retains all of the features from the Wii version of Guitar Hero III, giving you plenty of reason to buy if you're an Aerosmith fan. [Sept 2008, p.86]- Nintendo Power

Though Open Warfare marks a welcome return to 2-D for the turn-based action-strategy franchise, these annelids, are starting to show their age. [Apr 2006, p.83]- Nintendo Power
