    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]

    Get Rytmik instead, because it's much easier to get the hang of that. [Mar 2011, p.105]

    It doesn't bring anything groungbreaking to the genre, but with some neat use of the DS Spectrobes offers a solid and enjoyable adventure if you're itching to catch some critters. [Apr 2007, p.70]

    It's perhaps a little easy for experienced gamers, but younger players should have a good time playing it. [July 2008, p.103]

    It helps to be a Bleach fan, otherwise much of the story will whistle by your ears. [Mar 2010, p.87]

    There's no doubting the quality of the game but veterans really won't be getting anything new here, so we can only recommend this to players who have yet to see where it all started. And even they might find the controls long past their sell by date.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    A mixed bag mangled by repetitive combat and a magic system that could have used a little more thought. But behind its failings is a story that is worth sitting through. [Apr 2008, p.66]

    • 72 Critic Score
    A surprisingly fun effort, but it's just not as solid as it should be (the controls in particular) and the overly complex mechanics might put the more casual Sonic fans off. [Mar 2008, p.84]

    This is a satisfying if repetitive puzzler that stays on track throughout. [Aug 2010, p.98]

    This could be one of those slow-burning games you come back to in between more involving titles. [June 2009, p.81]

    Brown trousers all round, if you don't mind the unwieldy control method. [July 2012, p.102]

    Great for a while, but it gets a little carried away until it's so impossible that it's no longer fun. [Christmas 2010, p.92]

    An entertaining platformer let down by a silly pay-to-play unlocking system.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    Hazards are sometimes more Urban Trial and Error, but this is a fun, if slightly shameless, physics-based platformer for £5. Shame it only lasts two hours.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    Rotohex isn't quite as enjoyable as the other two Art Style games but that's not to say it isn't a worthy purchase for dedicated puzzle fans in the market for a smart, relaxing title to while away the hours to. [Jan 2009, p.101]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 69 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    A quality addition to the Final Fantasy family, but the extra add-ons are a bit cheeky. [Aug 2009, p.101]

    Get Starship Patrol instead. [Aug 2010, p.98]

    Never gets boring in single-player mode, but it's even more fun in multiplayer mode. [Apr 2012, p.95]

    The best Sudoku game on DSi, but not worth getting if you have any of the other ones. [Jan 2010, p.84]

    It could have done with a progress meter. [Christmas 2008, p.98]

    This is, in most areas, a brilliant Worms game with great gameplay mechanics, new weapons and nice visuals. But without online it's simply inferior to its DS counterparts. [Apr 2008, p.86]

    Basic. [Nov 2009, p.99]

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

    This flawed gem could have been a classic to rival the games that inspired it. Like its characters, it's well intentioned, but ultimately commits too many sins.
    • 78 Metascore

    RPG fans will find lots to enjoy. [Feb 2013, p.85]

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

    Solid enough but with pretty basic multiplayer options it's no Mario Kart Wii challenger. [Aug 2009, p.95]
    • 76 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    Perfect for Phoenix fans who want more cases, but with only four stories you'll be left wanting. It still offers great gameplay, it just doesn't last very long. [Apr 2007, p.82]

    Step & Roll is a happy effort that proves more enjoyable when you ignore the Balance Board, in the single player mode at least. There's enough new stuff in here to keep long-time fans amused, with the multiplayer and mini-game modes being the standout features, as ever. A chimp off the old block.
