    Not the most original gameplay style but its looks and humour more than compensate.

    If the Wii version of Modern Warfare 3 is your only available option, what you get here is a bombastic, if braindead, accomplished shooter with online multiplayer options that stand above those of most other Wii titles. Modern Warfare 3 Wii is an undeniable guilty pleasure both online and off.

    It looks good and offers some solid thrills. [July 2010, p.94]

    A neat puzzle game with a surprisingly entertaining multiplayer mode. [Christmas 2009, p.101]

    • 70 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    Addictive and good for a quick play, but there isn't much to it and the price is too high. [Mar 2011, p.102]

    It's still worth considering even if you played it on the Wii first time around. [Mar 2008, p.74]

    Occasional glimpses of Lara magic but her good work is undermined by sloppy development.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    While it's not a huge step up from last time, the added modes make it a more complete experience. [Mar 2008, p.72]

    • 81 Critic Score
    It does what it offers as well as you could hope, and it's ideal for anyone who reads in the dark. [Feb 2009, p.84]

    A real curio, this is a smart, original title that isn't quite as enjoyable as it wants to be. [July 2009, p.84]
    • 70 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It's daft, clever, simple and cheap. We want to see more DSiWare games like this one. [May 2010, p.90]

    As a standalone game, Lego Rock Band is entertaining enough. It's fun for kids and should keep them entertained. When you look at the bigger picture and compare it to other versions of the game however, the complete lack of effort that's gone into making sure the Wii version offers similar value for money is nothing short of disgusting and lazy.

    It might be too complicated for a younger audience to enjoy on their own. [Christmas 2007, p.86]

    Never have we seen a DS game fail so badly to capture the fun of its Wii sibling. [Christmas 2009, p.92]

    The 3D completely nullifies the point of having an option for motion control. [Oct 2012, p.96]

    Playing Madden NFL 07 is like when crisp companies started doing foil-wrapped crisps. Although you're promised a new experience, it's pretty much the same thing, though it's still pretty good. [Oct 2006, p.90]

    It won't take you long to get through it, but it's a fun, sturdy platformer while it lasts. [Sept 2010, p.90]

    About as fresh, innovative and welcome as a "Last of Summer Wine" re-run. [Apr 2009, p.66]

    Vintage stuff. [Sept 2009, p.93]

    A pleasant update to an NES classic, and one that's well worth a download.

    If you peer past the disastrous surface, though, you'll find a game that is of a very high standard indeed. [Dec 2012, p.109]

    An accomplished DS game with a great story, if you can deal with the shaky driving sections. [Christmas 2010, p.72]

    • 84 Critic Score
    A deep, engrossing tactical-strategy RPG weighing in with several weeks of play. [Nov 2007, p.93]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 70 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    It's not a great port and we'd have liked more content, but the quality gameplay shines through.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    Surprisingly deep given how in-depth and graphically impressive it is. [Sept 2010, p.93]

    It's Metal Slug. Nothing more, nothing less. [Mar 2009, p.84]

    The best Tenchu in ages and good fun for the most part but this is a series that badly needs a reinvention. [Mar 2009, p.76]
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    IE3's mantra seems to be 'more is less'. Less: work for devs, learning for fans and interest for the uninitiated. It works, but is it really what an exciting series needs?
