The enemies are dim-witted but manage to stay alive longer than they should thanks to awful hit detection. [Oct 2005, p.100]- Nintendo Power

- Critic Score
The level design is straight-forward to a fault. [Oct 2005, p.101]- Nintendo Power

- Critic Score
With a few more enemy types, longer levels and a higher difficulty level, Gumby vs. The Astrobots could have joined the ranks of great GBA platformers. [Oct 2005, p.97]- Nintendo Power

A solid title with good football sense and strong gameplay. [Oct 2005, p.97]- Nintendo Power

Despite my curmudgeonly grumblings, the good far outweighs the bad. In addition to the vastly improved passing game, there are tons of new player animations, the AI is smarter than ever, and there are even more ways to adjust each play before the snap. [Sept 2005, p.82]- Nintendo Power

It's still fun; just not nearly as compelling as its source of inspiration. [Oct 2005, p.101]- Nintendo Power

The remake has some minor improvements, including the ability to continue playing from where the previous game ended. [Sept 2005, p.83]- Nintendo Power

- Critic Score
A great introduction to space shooting for the DS and a worthy successor to "Shin'en" and Majesco's "Iridion" games for the GBA. [Sept 2005, p.85]- Nintendo Power
-
- Critic Score
The overall game makes a lackluster effort at capturing the spirit of the film. [Aug 2005, p.85]- Nintendo Power
-
- Critic Score
If the game was made harder by having a time requirement or more difficult enemies to negotiate, it could be very solid. [Sept 2005, p.84]- Nintendo Power

The pacing and movement restrictions (particularly in areas where the paths take needlessly circuitous routes) will frustrate players who are looking for more conventional play, but for those who stick with it, the experience will be highly rewarding. [July 2005, p.96]- Nintendo Power

Rough around the edges as it is, the game is still a satisfying battle-intensive adventure. [Aug 2005, p.83]- Nintendo Power
-
- Critic Score
The drawbacks are that the gameplay is basic button-mashing, and you can get past most enemies (in Medium difficulty) with standard attacks. [Aug 2005, p.81]- Nintendo Power

Just as good as, if not a tad better than, their predecessors. They're just not any different. [Aug 2005, p.81]- Nintendo Power

We're crossing our fingers that the next Batman title lets us play the comic book hero like we really want to. [Aug 2005, p.80]- Nintendo Power

- Critic Score
With a little more depth and developer love, this could have been a top DS title. [Sept 2005, p.84]- Nintendo Power

The majority of Canvas Curse's medals are tied up in Rainbow Run, so the replay value is considerable, and perfect for hard-core sketch gamers. [Aug 2005, p.82]- Nintendo Power
-

The game is solid, displaying the attention to detail you'd expect from a Nintendo-published platformer. [Aug 2005, p.84]- Nintendo Power

It's interesting that the enemies are so much smarter than your own squad members. [Aug 2005, p.81]- 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
