    Genius Sonority has looked beyond the waves this time around and what it has found has helped strengthen the good signals we got last time.

    A great start to the series - if they're all this good, we'll snap them all up. [Oct 2008, p.92]

    Perfect for Phoenix fans who want more cases, but with only four stories you'll be left wanting. It still offers great gameplay, it just doesn't last very long. [Apr 2007, p.82]

    Great fun while it lasts...it's just a shame that this isn't very long. If you don't mind easy games, go for it. [Dec 2008, p.68]

    The lack of any multiplayer modes is a real shame. [July 2009, p.95]

    A cute exterior masks a hardcore heart - it might be brutally hard but it'll have you coming back for more. [Nov 2008, p.94]

    Our favourite game on WiiWare. Most full-price games don't entertain us like this one does.

    • 88 Critic Score
    A brilliant adventure whose shortness is its only drawback. Well worth a look.

    • 80 Critic Score
    Professional, fully featured and a tad bodacious, this undoubtedly sets a high bar for fitness games on Wii U.

    • 73 Critic Score
    Star Fox Command has its frustrations but the multiplayer helps make up for these. If you can learn to accept the series' new direction, there's a decent strategy game in here somewhere. [Dec 2006, p.88]

    While far from being a bad game, Duck Tales Remastered is a huge missed opportunity and a sad day for fans who were expecting so much more.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Toy Story 3 is that rarest of beasts, a movie tie-in that's actually fun and does justice to the film.

    As ever, this game will get under your skin. Little need for Tetris Party vets to shell out though.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    The attention to detail, the personality, the tiny touches; this feels like a game that someone loved making, and you'll love playing it as a result.

    • 83 Critic Score
    It's not very easy to get to grips with but once it clicks it's very difficult to put down. [Sept 2010, p.91]

    It's a tad repetitive, but easily one of the best Alien releases on a Nintendo system.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    This surpasses expectations. It looks great, has fantastic online features and the course editor is brilliant. If only the cars felt a little more like cars. [Oct 2007, p.90]

    A decent Mega Man outing, just one that disappoints with its willingness to lazily sit back and join the dots rather than trying to push the DS hardware at all. [Aug 2007, p.78]

    A fresh take on cooking games, Order Up isn't just another mini-game compilation. [Nov 2008, p.78]
    • 76 Metascore

    A new and promising hybrid that could lead the way for more collaboration. [Nov 2014, p.78]

    The ideal way to get into Wii gaming. It's funny, simple and approachable, and gamers and non-gamers alike should get something out of it. [Christmas 2006, p.62]

    Charming, clever and compelling all at once, this game does everything right.

    Overlook the odd glitch and this is a fitting tribute to a cherished movie franchise.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    There's no doubting the quality of the game but veterans really won't be getting anything new here, so we can only recommend this to players who have yet to see where it all started. And even they might find the controls long past their sell by date.

    • 68 Critic Score
    Ultimately scuppered by its lack of variety. [Christmas 2012, p.106]

    An enjoyable, idiosyncratic experience. Plus you don't have to ask about their holidays. [Sept 2009, p.92]
    • 75 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Its undeniable charm straddles a proud foundation of good, old-fashioned platformer mechanics. [Apr 2011, p.85]

    Joker is a massive jump forwards from the first GBC game of '98. In terms of depth, storyline and sense of real adventure and progression, it's an enjoyable and compulsive game. [Feb 2008, p.76]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 75 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    As a true Resident Evil game it'll disappoint but as a lightgun game with depth and atmosphere, it's a great package. [Jan 2008, p.66]

    Basic. [Nov 2009, p.99]
