    It's the most realistic tennis game on the Wii and great fun to play. If you have even a passing interest in tennis this is worth a look. [July 2008, p.73]

    There aren't many DS RPG's that play and look this good. The only problem is that it may be too basic for the hardened RPG fans it's aimed at. [May 2009, p.88]

    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]

    A very pleasant surprise and one of the finest mature games on the Wii. Confront your fears and pick this one up.

    It's only got two game modes but thankfully they'll last you a while. Great, but there's still room for improvement.

    A sweet little game that offers a nice change of pace from usual RPGs. It's VERY cute though. [May 2009, p.77]

    Other than the new controls this is the same as the PS2 and PSP Meltdowns, but when rolling a blob of mercury is as addictive and challenging as this it really doesn't matter. [Apr 2007, p.88]

    By no means perfect, but it's still a fantastic game that finally gives the blue blazer the sort of fast-paced, slick action he deserves. It's tricky to master but once you do it really shines. [Mar 2007, p.62]

    A perfect, smooth version of a great fighting game, and not much else.

    It offers nothing new but it's a Guitar Hero game with nearly 50 of the best songs in the series' history, so that's not a bad thing.

    The definitive horse game out there, not that that's a hard claim considering the competition. Still, those with a love of equine action will be more than happy with what it offers. [Feb 2008, p.86]

    Boogie is certainly not without its flaws but as a karaoke/rhythm-action game designed to keep a crowd of people genuinely entertained it does the job perfectly. [Sept 2007, p.66]

    Shinobi won't be to everyone's tastes since we're now in an age where games are expected to be easy enough for everyone. But if you like the idea of a game repeatedly handing your backside to you until you learn the ins and outs, Shinobi will give you many hours of fun.
    • 85 Metascore

    A fantastic start to the Wii U's more mature library, this is grim, gritty and, most importantly, hugely enjoyable to play, especially if you're a Zelda fan.

    Hugely detailed, simply set out and even educational, this is the perfect art app.
