    Fun and accessible. It's easy to slip into a rut, but there's more there to discover.

    The Godfather is the perfect example of how Wii controls can make an average game better. It's a shame it doesn't look better, but this is still highly recommended for action fans. [Apr 2007, p.89]

    Modern Hits' career mode still has more going for it than the previous two handheld outings in the series. [Sept 2009, p.87]

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

    In the grand scheme of things, Table Tennis won't set the world alight. However, taken as the hugely-playable and addictive arcade sports game it is, it's good stuff. [Christmas 2007, p.82]

    Enjoyable, old school platforming with a modern twist. You'll need patience though.

    Zen's finally come over to the Light Side. [Oct 2013, p.89]

    Toy Story 3 is that rarest of beasts, a movie tie-in that's actually fun and does justice to the film.

    It's daft, clever, simple and cheap. We want to see more DSiWare games like this one. [May 2010, p.90]

    A great arcade blaster let down by the limits of the DS's controls, but it's still good fun. [Feb 2009, p.83]

    The seeds of discontent yield one of the fullest Harvest Moon crops in recent years. Be sure to stick with it through the slow bits: you'll thank us for it.

    What had the potential to be the best Resi of recent years ends up being merely a solid port. The overall experience still plays best on 3DS.

    As with any rehash of a great, it's the problems that stand out, but the uninitiated will find a huge amount to love. DK's still playing his second fiddle very nicely.

    Simple, solid gameplay. [Aug 2009, p.90]

    A fun quiz game that does exactly what it says on the tin and is good value for the money. [July 2008, p.87]

    A great little puzzle game. [Oct 2008, p.97]

    If you're a Spider-Man fan, this is completely essential. If not, it's still worth a look if you want a fun action-adventure game.

    Given the extra two years Treyarch had to squeeze every last drop of polish from the Wii, this is underwhelming visually. It looks okay for a Wii game - that's the dreaded caveat - but it's not even up there with Metroid Prime: Corruption. Having said that, Modern Warfare is still an excellent shooter packed with options and it should be a big player online so we can welcome it to the Wii family.

    It won't be giving Mario any restless nights, but this is a far better balanced proposition than the 'hog's Wii output and is solid fun throughout.

    It's immensely satisfying gunning down hordes of enemies. [June 2007, p.86]

    Once you get used to the fact that the blob's practically brain-dead, this is a fun puzzler. [Dec 2009, p.74]

    Shame about the small tracklist, as otherwise this is a good adaptation of the console game. [Christmas 2010, p.76]

    Lack of online's a Rock Bottom disappointment but it's still a Stone Cold Stunner for WWE fans. [Christmas 2010, p.77]

    Years of slow innovation have resulted in a game worthy of the LOTR name. Probably not a classic, but the journey there and back again is a treat.

    This could have been as good as "Mario Kart DS" but ditching some fun ideas to make room for the new DS-specific content actually drags the whole thing down. [May 2007, p.72]

    Beneath those cutesy eyes lies the healthy beating heart of a solid adventure game.

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

    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.

    Not too user-friendly, but this is a deep and stylish fighter once you get into it.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    A simple but fun on-rails slasher. [May 2008, p.84]
