Although bowling purists will find the fantasy elements to be off the mark, casual players looking for a good time will enjoy the variety and the value-oriented price. [Apr 2005, p.100]- Nintendo Power

If anything, Flushed Away suffers from being too ambitious, but there are many worse crimes a game can commit. [Dec. 2006, p.113]- Nintendo Power

Major Minor's Majestic March certainly isn't the next coming of PaRappa, but young gamers - and the young at heart - should get a kick out of it. [May 2009, p.89]- Nintendo Power

Controlling Pikachu with stylus strokes is actually quite fun, but as a racing game, Dash isn't fully realized. [May 2005, p.90]- Nintendo Power

Summer Sports is boring at best and aggravating at worst. [May 2008, p.89]- Nintendo Power

Still, Freedom Wings has its fun moments, and it's just quirky enough to keep you wondering what lies around the next bend. [Sep 2006, p.84]- Nintendo Power

For older gamers, E.T. offers little to phone home about. [May 2002, p.142]- Nintendo Power
-
- Critic Score
With a big-budget movie comes a subpar video game adaptation--that seems to be the rule. So it should be no surprise that The Incredible Hulk on Wii is...not so great. [Aug 2008, p.90]- Nintendo Power

Straightforward sci-fi action with comic book style and lots of cool gadgets. [Feb 2003, p.155]- Nintendo Power

None of these activities are particularly intriguing, and after playing each one once, you'll have seen pretty much everything the game has to offer. [Jan. 2007, p.116]- Nintendo Power

A creative weapons system and great control make old-school space shooter R-Type III an action gamer's dream. [Apr 2004, p.122]- Nintendo Power

It's immersive gaming that develops at a slow gallop. [July 2002, p.151]- Nintendo Power

To Barrel Blast's credit, it looks like there was a concerted effort to make the game look better--a smooth frame rate and some nice effects spruce up an otherwise mundane racer. [Nov 2007, p.99]- Nintendo Power
-
- Critic Score
It's a decent enough RPG with dull turn-based combat, story integration and item-management conventions that were state-of-the-art in 1992. [Mar. 2007, p.88]- Nintendo Power

Rock Revolutiion is one Rock Band copycat you can afford to skip. [Dec 2008, p.96]- Nintendo Power

It's disappointing, especially given the depth of the other iterations, but this Ghost Recon has its charms. [Holiday 2010, p.89]- Nintendo Power

Given that it's a little more than a lazy arcade port, Tank! Tank! Tank! has no business as a $50 retail release. [Dec 2012, p.82]- Nintendo Power

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
