A decent suspense-filled horror game that looks good for the DS but would probably be more at home on a console. [July 2008, p.98]

An addictive racer with some nice frills, though all but the most dogged may be driven crazy.

There's loads of new stuff in the DS version. The level editor is brilliant. [Sept 2008, p.98]

It lacks the charm of "Picross DS" and has some annoying faults but it's still worth a look for puzzle fans. [Dec 2008, p.69]

As good as the series has ever been. [Jan 2012, p.82]

If you're already played it in the Wii version, exploring it on 3DS is both familiar and different. [Jan 2012, p.91]

Only fun for a quick fix. [July 2008, p.101]

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

Its undeniable charm straddles a proud foundation of good, old-fashioned platformer mechanics. [Apr 2011, p.85]

Great while it lasts, but gives you an immense feeling of guilt afterwards. [Aug 2010, p.93]

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

A few niggling control issues aside, Journey of Dreams is an enjoyable adventure. [Feb 2008, p.82]

Its measured pace is precisely what makes it such a fresh twist on the shooter. [Apr 2014, p.82]

The daftest game on WiiWare by far and easily one of the best. Great for the pirce. [Mar 2010, p.92]

Delivers a deafening roar of an RPG adventure, but its bark is louder than its bite. The beast might've learned a few new tricks, but it can't hide its age.

Sadly, Children of Mana's extremely repetitive gameplay means that if you're playing for an extended period of time the game's appeal wanes. It all depends on what kind of player you are. [Feb 2007, p.76]

Funny, tricky and it'll last you a while. [Christmas 2010, p.93]

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

A brave attempt to make stylus-controlled racing work which pays off surprisingly well. [Apr 2009, p.82]

Purists will probably be outraged at the change to the gameplay mechanics. [Aug 2007, p.92]

A better single-player game but the controls, lack of online and similarity to the last game docks its points. [Aug 2008, p.90]

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

Among the toughest games on the console and none the worse for it. Want to hear what your own screams sound like? You won't find better on the 3DS.

A great turn-based game for younger players who may get confused and bogged down with more serious RPGs. [Jan 2009, p.100]

A solid game that you'll have fun with. It's just a shame that the slightly annoying controls slightly dampen the experience. [Apr 2009, p.89]

The best aspect of the game is the soundtrack. With headphones on you'll be completely immersed. [June 2009, p.87]

Plagued with camera problems, but it's still a decent adventure for Kingdom Hearts fans.

Despite its potential, the Starter Pack feels a little limited. That said, four solid games is not to be sniffed at and we imagine there's far more to come.
