    Excellent in so many ways, but falls down hard due to control shortcomings. [Nov 2008, p.82]

    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.

    It's the most realistic tennis game on the Wii and great fun to play. If you have even a passing interest in tennis this is worth a look. [July 2008, p.73]

    Merely average: fun in short bursts but don't expect to be playing it in a few months' time. [Mar 2007, p.89]

    Like many NES games, TwinBee is very difficult and there are no continues - but it never seems unfair so even if you're getting pummeled, you'll feel like going back in for more punishment.

    It's brilliant. [Dec 2008, p.96]

    It's basic but reasonably compelling. [Nov 2009, p.98]

    Neat concept. [Christmas 2014, p.93]

    With its limited tower strategies, bland stretches of desert to navigate and repetitive fight mechanics, this is more a case of chide 'em, cowboy.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    It's only got two game modes but thankfully they'll last you a while. Great, but there's still room for improvement.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Genuinely good controls aren't quite enough to hide what is an average game. [July 2008, p.94]

    If you're the sort who prefers single-player adventures though, this isn't the game for you. [Christmas 2007, p.76]

    It's ideal both as a family game or as great post-pub entertainment. [Christmas 2007, p.64]

    • 63 Critic Score
    A fun, old-school romp but it quickly gets samey. Stick to Castlevania! [May 2010, p.90]

    • 81 Critic Score
    A sweet little game that offers a nice change of pace from usual RPGs. It's VERY cute though. [May 2009, p.77]

    A great setting and lots of top shocks - Cursed Mountain is chilling in every sense. [Oct 2009, p.78]

    Basically rhythm action classic "Elite Beat Agents" with Looney Tunes characters. [Sept 2008, p.99]

    Great, but with tighter gameplay and proper online multiplayer we'd be smitten.

    The perfect handheld confection, offering light, accessible gaming that is easy to dip in and out of without making huge demands on you. [Oct 2007, p.92]

    It's nothing new, but it's still a fun story for less than half the price of the DS version.

    Less fun to play than it is to watch. [Apr 2014, p.91]

    It's unique, straightforward and very challenging. [Dec 2009, p.97]

    A quirky version of crazy golf which is fun for five minutes but pales quickly. [Sept 2010, p.95]

    • 79 Critic Score
    With better visuals and touch screen controls this could have been a DS classic. As it is, it's a decent introduction to the genre we shall christen the farm 'em up. [May 2007, p.87]

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

    It feels more like you're controlling a puppet on strings rather than a Lotus Elise. [Christmas 2006, p.75]

    Like Lady Zozo, its heart is in the right place, but its arms and legs are on backwards and inside out. Too monotonous to be entertaining.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    An evolution of the LEGO series, but only a tiny one. If you liked or haven't played the others, you'll enjoy this.
    • 67 Metascore

    If you can stomach one more go on the mini-go-round, you could do much worse than this. [Jan 2009, p.99]

    • 70 Critic Score
    Trivia buffs will have a fun time with this one, even if it isn't too different from the original board game. [May 2009, p.87]
