A missed opportunity to right the first game's wrongs. A by-the-numbers platforming experience.

A solid strategy offering, but one that's not particularly accessible. [May 2010, p.90]

Rattles off the backboard. [Oct 2010, p.95]

There's not so much replay value but the controls give it a new lease on life. [Christmas 2006, p.92]

Shinobi won't be to everyone's tastes since we're now in an age where games are expected to be easy enough for everyone. But if you like the idea of a game repeatedly handing your backside to you until you learn the ins and outs, Shinobi will give you many hours of fun.

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

Better than being in the arcades and with more extras than an all-you-can-eat buffet, Ghost Squad gets a high five from us. Future shooters take note: the bar has been set high. [Feb 2008, p.68]

Unless you're gagging for a handheld strategy game and have already played Nintendo's offering, it's not worth taking the risk. [Jan 2009, p.99]

Props to EA for delivering a solid, entertaining game. Top of the class. [July 2010, p.92]

This will impress you if the best FIFA you've played is the Wii or 3DS version, but veterans will note that it's a hollow shell of this year's 360 and PS3 releases.

Some slightly dodgy mechanics aside, this is a truly excellent dungeon crawler.

Combat ultimately gets dull far too quickly. [Oct 2010, p.91]
