    Good fun but lacking the polish that makes Mario Kart Wii the definitive kart racer. [Mar 2010, p.76]
    • tbd Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    For wi-fi multiplayer there's nothing better on DSi but otherwise it's a little lacking. [Jan 2010, p.84]

    • 61 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The very definition of a mixed bag, Game & Wario is innovative, but stingy with it; silly, but a bit of a slog. Beware the bad eggs, cherish the prize ones. [July 2013, p.82]
    • 57 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Provides slightly generic, predictable platform action but has enough variety and class to stand up to scrutiny. So much so that those not into Lightsabers might have fun. [Feb 2007, p.68]

    • 78 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    A solid racer only let down by some muggy looking cars. Just about worth your points. [Aug 2009, p.101]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 74 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    A surprisingly full-featured handheld shooter. [Christmas 2010, p.69]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 78 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    A good kart racer with plenty of content. A solid, if inferior, alternative to Mario Kart DS. [Mar 2010, p.84]
    • 73 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    This game is all about trial and error. You will die frequently and tragically. [Sept 2014, p.82]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 69 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    This is easily the best version of Ninja Gaiden 3, but it's not quite the action masterpiece that fans have come to expect from the series.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The game never misses a trick to punish recklessness and complacency. [Sept 2014, p.87]
    • 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]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 80 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    A good attempt at a tower defence game but it just lacks that little extra magic.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    If only EA had pushed the bizarreness boat out a little further. Still, this is a fun little curio.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    Lacks the oddball charm of the original. [May 2014, p.81]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 73 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    A brave attempt at combining two very different types of gameplay. [Nov 2007, p.84]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 64 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    It'd be the finest licensed game ever if it wasn't ruined by the anti-climactic ending and an atrocious camera. Sadly, all the humour in the world can't really fix that. [Christmas 2007, p.70]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 61 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    Using the plastic rod-and-reel peripheral makes you look like an utter arse. [Christmas 2008, p.100]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 69 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    A solid strategy offering, but one that's not particularly accessible. [May 2010, p.90]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 70 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    Surprisingly deep given how in-depth and graphically impressive it is. [Sept 2010, p.93]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 58 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    A surprisingly good adaptation of the home console game, with decent graphics and some interesting uses of the touch screen. Not a classic but we wouldn't object to a sequel. [Christmas 2006, p.72]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 65 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    One mini-game made us laugh out loud as our cow did an MC Hammer dance. [Jan 2007, p.83]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • tbd Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    A fun card game with the added bonus of single-card multiplayer. Nice job. [Feb 2010, p.86]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 69 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    Props to EA for delivering a solid, entertaining game. Top of the class. [July 2010, p.92]

    • 73 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    More of the same, but with pirates instead of Jedi. Fun for fans of the series.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    It's a nice little pool game. [Dec 2008, p.99]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 78 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    Great for fans, hard work for everyone - it's not bad, just really heavy going. [Feb 2009, p.80]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 50 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    Appreciate Twin Strike for what it is - good, clean budget-priced fun - and you won't be disappointed. [Nov 2008, p.105]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 74 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    It's shorter than we'd like, but completists will get their money's worth. [July 2011, p.92]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 76 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    Much better value than the straight NES port. [June 2009, p.88]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 73 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    It looks cute and sounds great, but it takes too long to grasp its mechanics. [Oct 2010, p.93]
