A brilliant idea, handled carelessly. Some of these oldies are far from golden, but with some fine-tuning, a sequel would be very welcome indeed.

Slick, polished and surprisingly varied for a movie tie-in, this is one piece of blockbuster merchandise that's worth checking out. Just don't buy it for an easily aggravated child. [Oct 2006, p.94]

Simple fun. [Aug 2011, p.91]

One of the better games in the series but yet another lazy port by Capcom. [July 2010, p.92]

Succeeds in offering something genuinely different, but it's still snooze-inducing.

A dreamy platformer. [Nov 2013, p.81]

Freedom and individuality. [Apr 2010, p.89]

The best adaptation of an animated movie we've seen in a long time. [Sept 2007, p.77]

A decent blast for younger gamers and we like that NERF gun!

This is a cut above most monster collection games, but won't change the world. [Oct 2009, p.80]

A fantastic paint package, but don't be fooled into buying the same thing twice. [Mar 2010, p.92]

The camera may be zoomed in a bit too close for our liking and its grappling hook system may be a bit pants, but Moto eXtreme offers hours of compelling gameplay. [Nov 2011, p.93]

A fantastic paint package, but don't be fooled into buying the same thing twice. [Mar 2010, p.92]

If you can bear to look at it, you'll enjoy its tile matching, stat-swelling RPG tendencies. [Oct 2009, p.83]

Star Fox Command has its frustrations but the multiplayer helps make up for these. If you can learn to accept the series' new direction, there's a decent strategy game in here somewhere. [Dec 2006, p.88]

As ever, this game will get under your skin. Little need for Tetris Party vets to shell out though.

This is very hard to put down. [Oct 2010, p.82]

By adding players, Awakened Shadow's solo campaign has suffered. [Oct 2010, p.88]

This feels two decades old and we're not complaining. [Christmas 2013, p.88]

It's a decent darts game and the Wii Remote adds a certain degree of realism to the proceedings. Unfortunately, the atmosphere is more local pub than Ally Pally. [Apr 2008, p.82]

Overlook the odd glitch and this is a fitting tribute to a cherished movie franchise.

Not the most complicated game but it's fun, particularly in multiplayer. [Aug 2010, p.97]

More of the same, a little bit tougher and a little more lame. It's a fiendish, addictive, intelligent game, but if you find yourself cursing, you know who to blame.

An interesting little title that certainly won't appeal to everyone, but will please fans of traditional board games. It adds enough changes to the standard Monopoly formula to make it feel unique and the Easy Rules option means family members of all ages can get involved. An interesting addition to the Wii library.

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

With control issues and the disappointing lack of online co-operative play aside, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance is a mindless and enjoyable action game that should keep comic book fans happy for a while. [Jan 2007, p.70]

This starts out as an ingenious platformer but samey levels mean it gets stale quickly.

Mario & Sonic At The London 2012 Olympic Games is a step sideways for the series. It'll no doubt sell bucketloads, but be warned that if you're getting it you'll need friends handy, since playing it on your own is a pretty underwhelming experience.
