    The use of cover versions will instantly turn off most songbirds. [Christmas 2013, p.84]

    Fun and accessible. It's easy to slip into a rut, but there's more there to discover.

    If you plan on getting more Zapper games though, it's worth the plunge. [Jan 2008, p.72]

    • 68 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    It would take a flinty heart not to be moved when iconic characters come into play. [Dec 2013, p.82]

    • 68 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Its difficulty curve may frustrate younger gamers, but Squids Odyssey is a fun and unique, turn-based action game that's worth spending a few squids on. [May 2014, p.85]
    • 68 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    A compelling and addictive farm-sim with a new weekly market-based twist. [Sept 2011, p.94]
    • 68 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    A potentially great game ruined by control issues. Stick with Little King's Story for your RTS adventure kicks.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It works well enough but soon becomes very boring because essentially all you're doing is drawing paterns as fast as you can. [Aug 2008, p.102]

    • 59 Critic Score
    A step back from the grand games we're used to. [Apr 2014, p.78]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 68 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    Solid enough but with pretty basic multiplayer options it's no Mario Kart Wii challenger. [Aug 2009, p.95]
    • 68 Metascore
    • 53 Critic Score
    It's very slow-paced. [Sept 2010, p.97]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 68 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A great arcade blaster let down by the limits of the DS's controls, but it's still good fun. [Feb 2009, p.83]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 68 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    A decent enough game, but it feels massively out of date. One for Tales fans only. [Nov 2009, p.88]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 68 Metascore
    • 51 Critic Score
    Younger gamers and good artists might get more out of it but we'd much rather let Miyamoto draw out characters for us, thank you very much. [Nov 2008, p.103]

    The only real issue are the loading times. [Feb 2012, p.100]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 68 Metascore
    • 89 Critic Score
    The greatest character and planet creation kit ever. If the exploration had been better this would be gold but then you'd probably be paying £30 for it.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    Lumpy in places, thumpy in others, this is generally good fun. [Dec 2013, p.86]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 68 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    A handful of niggles, but not enough to stop this from being more accessible and enjoyable than its predecessor.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    The game you loved, primarily unchanged. [Dec 2013, p.81]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 68 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    This starts out as an ingenious platformer but samey levels mean it gets stale quickly.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Solo players will miss out on a lot. Grab some mates and it's the Wii's best multiplayer game.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    There's no real reason to keep playing beyond the initial weird-factor. [March 2013, p.96]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 68 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    A playable adventure with some clever touch-screen applications, but its disappointing technical cutbacks leave us feeling that our beloved DS can do a lot better. [Dec 2006, p.93]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 68 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    Less chaotic than real cleaning, but that's actually a good thing for once. [June 2013, p.84]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 68 Metascore
    • 61 Critic Score
    A brave attempt at standing out from the sudoku crowd, but its confusing grids and random mini-games make it more frustrating than refreshing. One for multiplayer only. [May 2007, p.79]

    • 68 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    If you're happy to keep paying for very similar Picross games, you'll get more than your money's worth out of this. [Aug 2014, p.87]

    • 68 Metascore

    You can see everything it has to offer within 30 minutes. [Aug 2007, p.96]

    It does the trick, but there are other 20 Point games that offer a lot more content. [Feb 2011, p.97]

    • 68 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    In the grand scheme of things, Table Tennis won't set the world alight. However, taken as the hugely-playable and addictive arcade sports game it is, it's good stuff. [Christmas 2007, p.82]
