Enjoyable Japanese RPG that, despite the graphical overhaul, is showing its age.

Like a pack of footy stickers, you'll find bits you want and bits you don't. Perhaps not the shiny Nintendo gem we'd hoped for, but a fun return to form.

Vibrant combat and lush Disney worlds atone for the dud dual-character idea. [Aug 2012, p.97]

The arcadey approach is an interesting diversion for the series and one that just about pays off. [Nov 2009, p.80]

A generally fantastic series of games let down by some very shoddy ports.

It's got a lot of style and the substance shows up eventually but it's well short of classic status.

From time to time a game really creeps out of nowhere and takes you by surprise. A handheld version of a cult PC game, Trackmania is one such gem. [Dec 2008, p.96]

Weapons are more numerous and better balanced this time. [May 2010, p.82]

A massive handheld RPG crafted with incredible attention to detail and a real sense of fun. [Apr 2010, p.86]

The game's 60 levels and randomly-generated daily missions promise some meaty longevity. Nice. [Oct 2012, p.94]

A nostalgic treat for those who owned a C64 but too punishing and dated for young ones. [July 2008, p.82]

Level-5 successfully overcomes our Inazuma fatigue with a cheery addition to the series that is a great hopping-on point for newcomers. Good stuff.

Classy RPG gaming for a younger crowd. Buy it for your kid brother, then borrow it when no-one's looking. [Nov 2008, p.88]

The lack of any online features is a crying shame, but for 3D racing it's fantastic. [Apr 2011, p.86]

A great art package for anyone who wants to learn about basic painting techniques.

Gets the nod for its accessible controls and online gameplay. It's definitely more about multiplayer though. [Aug 2008, p.91]

A solid knockabout. [July 2009, p.96]

An extremely rewarding tour of duty for the DS. [Jan 2008, p.76]

Beautiful, action-packed and crazy as hell to boot. [May 2008, p.75]

The sort of unique, simple and fun game the Wii needs and does so well. But frustrating hitches and sub-standard graphics tarnish what could have been a classic. [Apr 2007, p.72]

Nintendo keeps promising us new ways to play on Wii U and we can't help but feel KnapNok might have got there first. There's nothing else quite like this.

Tight, breathless platforming challenge. [Oct 2013, p.80]

Flawed, but this is a unique, rewarding experience. [Apr 2010, p.85]

It's good to see Kingdom Hearts on the DS, but this is not up to the standard of previous efforts. [Dec 2009, p.84]

A great looking title with highly addictive mini-games. [July 2007, p.70]

Works well as a gateway into Square-Enix games, but experienced RPG fans will tire quickly. [May 2009, p.78]

An interesting and stylish game that unfortunately lacks the charm necessary to cover the problems of the port.

One for the game-starved only. [May 2013, p.78]
