Compelling and addictive. [Sept 2008, p.101]

A decent adventure, but it'll require persistence to get the most from it. [Oct 2008, p.94]

Better than Black and White, but lacking their freshness. A cracking swansong.

A fun puzzler, but why should fans spend more money on a game they already played? Stingy stuff. [Jan 2013, p.111]

It's a daunting pospect but there are rewards for the brave here. This is a classy, addictive and sophticated RPG. [Aug 2008, p.78]

A must-buy for any newcomers. [Christmas 2007, p.78]

A good attempt at a tower defence game but it just lacks that little extra magic.

Black Ops on Wii is a fantastic shooter packed with all the features of its HD brothers, with the only exception being split-screen multiplayer.

A quirky but smart strategy game that's a great entry point for RPG beginners.

It's the kind of unique game that the Wii was made for. [Aug 2007, p.94]

Thoughtful, pretty and just strange enough. [Christmas 2014, p.85]

Fans of the cult classic and newcomers alike are going to want to splash out on this one.

This is one spin-off that actually tries to mix things up a bit. One for pop music fans.

It's an absolute hoot but if you're after a meaty challenge, you definitely won't find it here.

Road Trip is surprising. On paper it reads like a cheapened, cut-down version of its PS3 and 360 cousin but Ubisoft has really done the Wii justice with this one. Everything from the cartoony, charismatic art style to the well put-together motion control system just fits the console perfectly.
