    The game never misses a trick to punish recklessness and complacency. [Sept 2014, p.87]

    • 84 Critic Score
    Okay, so Excite Truck skips a few beats in the way of options and multiplayer modes. But at its core it's a fantastic racer with stunning speed and awesome gameplay. [Feb 2007, p.58]

    A classy, thoughtful update that packages the best of the previous Wii Fit games with some ace new mini-games. A genuinely fun flab-shifter. [Jan 2014, p.84]

    • 81 Critic Score
    You'll be amazed at what the developers are squeezing out of the DS. [July 2007, p.78]

    • 72 Metascore
    • 92 Critic Score
    It's a compromise between action and exploration, between the series' history and contemporary trends, between traditional presentation and modern technology. It's the best Castlevania game we've played in years and it might be the best action game we've ever played on a handheld console.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Very much designed to be played by two or four players, this isn't worth it if you're solo. [Christmas 2010, p.94]

    • 72 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    Wii U exposes the series' ancient systems more than ever, but sometimes old dogs don't need new tricks. [Christmas 2013, p.88]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 72 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    Loads to do, tons of moves, great action and numerous characters to play with. This is a vast game that has plenty of Dragon Ball Z characters and plots for the fans. [Mar 2007, p.82]

    As freeform a game as you're likely to get, offering depth beyond measure. [Jan 2008, p.80]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 72 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    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]
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Inazuma Eleven, then, retains its charm, quirks and problems. There are a few new facets, to be sure, but this is fan service at its most serviceable.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Lack of online's a Rock Bottom disappointment but it's still a Stone Cold Stunner for WWE fans. [Christmas 2010, p.77]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 72 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    A classic reworked to its former glory. This works well on othe DS and is great fun, but the silly amount of depth makes it excessively complicated too. [May 2007, p.76]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 72 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Link up with other DS owners and this is essential. [Jan 2008, p.88]

    • 72 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    A clever puzzler. [Christmas 2008, p.99]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 72 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A vast improvement and by far the closest recreation of the PC version on handheld. [Christmas 2011, p.79]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 72 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    There's no fighting game quite like Dragon Ball Z, and BT3 plays brilliantly. [Feb 2008, p.78]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 72 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    A solid and well-made example of what we want to see in a DS racer. Juiced 2 impresses on first play but doesn't leave a unique lasting impression to make it a must buy. [Dec 2007, p.80]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 72 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    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]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    There's not much depth here, but for just 200 Points, this is a decent time waster. [June 2010, p.96]

    It gets hard quickly but should keep you entertained. [June 2010, p.97]

    As much fun as previous DS games, though Potter perhaps doesn't translate quite as well to Lego.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    It gets repetitive, but there's lots to like and plenty of content in here. [Nov 2011, p.95]

    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Requires a forgiving gamer to see it from start to end. [March 2014, p.78]

    • 72 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    This is a highly accomplished party game that stands head and shoulders above the mess of shovelware garbage out there, even if it does lack the depth of its slightly more meaty handheld brother. [Nov 2009, p.65]
    • 72 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    A very pleasant surprise and one of the finest mature games on the Wii. Confront your fears and pick this one up.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    There's not much new here, but this is a gently humorous adventure that Indy fans will enjoy.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    With more balanced controls for the Remote, this would have been so much better. [Nov 2007, p.79]

    • 72 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    With more of everything, plus a couple of neat new features, World Stage is an icy blast.
