    You could do much worse. It's a pleasant way to squander an hour or two. [Dec 2009, p.98]

    • 77 Critic Score
    It's more or less identical to that of the Wii version. [Christmas 2011, p.103]

    • 78 Critic Score
    It's a neat cocktail of Castlevania and Metroid - and yes, we realise just how absurd that sounds. [Sept 2008, p.84]

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

    • 76 Critic Score
    This feels more like Guitar Hero Lite than a proper instalment in the classic rhythm action series. [Sept 2008, p.78]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 71 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    We still balk at the effort here, but this remains a good DS game for under a tenner. [Apr 2010, p.91]

    • 78 Critic Score
    A nice take on the Pirates films, but it's too simplistic for seasoned gamers.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    Good fun for a couple of hours, but then its lack of depth starts to show through. [June 2008, p.85]

    • 76 Critic Score
    Forget the license behind it, this is a lovely little 2D brawler. [May 2013, p.79]
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A great way to pass a bus journey. [June 2009, p.88]

    • 71 Critic Score
    Less than ideal for RPG newcomers. Charm wins through, but you'll have to be v-e-r-y patient.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    CRUSH3D is packed with great ideas, but sadly they aren't executed that well.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    It was great back in the day but time hasn't been too kind to Arkanoid. [Nov 2009, p.102]

    • 71 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    A good platformer that's far too short and far too expensive for what it offers. [Feb 2011, p.95]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 71 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    Frenetic and well tailored to the handheld, but lacks story and features.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Takes an old genre and breathes new life into it. Top-down racing hasn't been this fun in ages. [Oct 2009, p.86]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 71 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    Feels horribly out-of-date. [Feb 2011, p.90]

    It's no Chinatown Wars but retro gamers will enjoy spotting the stolen GTA features. [May 2010, p.90]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 71 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    It's not perfect by any means but it's great to see an original take on a familiar genre. [May 2010, p.83]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 71 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    Distinctly lacking in character and longevity. [Christmas 2010, p.70]

    • 71 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    While this looks and feels amazing, there just isn't quite enough of it. [Apr 2011, p.80]
    • 71 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    It's no classic, but if you like your puzzles cute and cuddly you could do a lot worse. [July 2010, p.93]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 71 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    Not an essential purchase, by any means, but definitely one of the better puzzle-related offerings out there for the DS. [Christmas 2008, p.102]

    The Munchables is a nifty little game, but it's all over far too quickly for us to recommend it as a must-have title.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    A better single-player game but the controls, lack of online and similarity to the last game docks its points. [Aug 2008, p.90]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 70 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    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.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    Slightly more than a re-skin of FIFA 10, but not quite enough to make this definitive. [May 2010, p.84]
    • 70 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    This is what you'd get if you crossed "Metroid Prime" with an isometric shooter and a dash of the movie "Aliens." [Jan 2007, p.76]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 70 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Plays a good game, but FIFA 11 owners will be annoyed at how similar it is.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Its measured pace is precisely what makes it such a fresh twist on the shooter. [Apr 2014, p.82]
