    Single-player is a bore, but this is thankfully saved by local and online multiplayer. [Feb 2011, p.84]

    • 72 Critic Score
    Its flaws hint at the game it could have been. As it is, it's a raggedy curiosity well worth checking out.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    Agreeable. [Feb 2011, p.96]

    There's nothing sophisticated under the hood but the choreography is great fun and the music selection is brilliant.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    If you can stomach one more go on the mini-go-round, you could do much worse than this. [Jan 2009, p.99]

    • 69 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    A solid outing for the bandicoot, who soldiers on despite showing signs of age. Kids will love it, adults will be bemused by it and everyone else has played this kind of thing before. [Dec 2007, p.84]

    • 70 Metascore

    It's Metal Slug. Nothing more, nothing less. [Mar 2009, p.84]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • tbd Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    A sweet, inventive mix of interactive screensaver and puzzle game, offering only minimal challenge. [Sept 2014, p.90]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 74 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    Wait for Shin Megami Tensei 4. [Nov 2013, p.88]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • tbd Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    Entertaining as ever, but only get this if you've completed all the original levels. [Jan 2011, p.92]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 63 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    Pricey, given its lack of depth. [Sept 2009, p.95]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 71 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    Accessible, rewarding and rammed with action - but only if you're playing with friends.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    One of the funniest, most interesting games on 3DS, but also one of the most bloated. There's nothing else like it, which is both to its credit and its detriment. [Apr 2014, p.81]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 45 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    Not for everyone, but younger gamers and arcade fans will love it. The multiplayer mode adds a surreal slice of joy, too. [Jan 2013, p.103]
    • tbd Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    An inventive idea executed well. Worth a look to see what the DSi can actually do. [Feb 2010, p.86]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • tbd Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    The horse-averse might want to avoid, but steeple-people will play furlong. [Nov 2011, p.96]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 71 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    Less than ideal for RPG newcomers. Charm wins through, but you'll have to be v-e-r-y patient.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    It's no classic, but if you like your puzzles cute and cuddly you could do a lot worse. [July 2010, p.93]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 79 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    Everything is thrown at you, ramping up the already shocking difficulty level. [Apr 2013, p.90]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 55 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    Gory, gruesome fun but not a game to bust out next time gran comes round for a Wii session. [Apr 2009, p.76]

    • 77 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    So it's a slow dance; a gentle sway of steps with the occasional flourish. That can be far more enjoyable than the most energetic experience - but if you're getting things wrong, the wait to get it over with can be excruciating.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    Excellent in so many ways, but falls down hard due to control shortcomings. [Nov 2008, p.82]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 65 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    A solid strategy title for younger gamers. A little polish wouldn't have hurt though. [Sept 2009, p.82]
    • 77 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    Dull quests make it a step down from the original. [Oct 2010, p.83]

    • 56 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    Ultimately, Lightsaber Duels is only really worth getting for either those who have seen and done everything in The Force Unleashed and crave more Star Wars action or for younger gamers who love the recent Clone Wars cartoons and aren't that interested in the live-action movies.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    For only 700 points (about a fiver) it's a fun diversion. [Sept 2008, p.101]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • tbd Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    It's fast and daft, but you might as well get the DS game that it's based on. [Feb 2011, p.93]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 46 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    As a fun way to spend a half an hour it's not bad. [Oct 2010, p.94]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 77 Metascore

    It's basic, but a solid puzzler. [June 2009, p.87]

    If the Wii version of Modern Warfare 3 is your only available option, what you get here is a bombastic, if braindead, accomplished shooter with online multiplayer options that stand above those of most other Wii titles. Modern Warfare 3 Wii is an undeniable guilty pleasure both online and off.
