    A great game, perfectly converted to the touch screen. We just doubt there's enough here to keep people playing for more than a few hours. [Dec 2006, p.86]

    • 78 Critic Score
    A nightmare to get to grips with, but once you do it's a pretty impressive shooter. [Christmas 2010, p.92]

    Plagued with camera problems, but it's still a decent adventure for Kingdom Hearts fans.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    Too convoluted and generally annoying to be any real fun - it's a competent effort, but there are genuinely better attempts at the genre on the way if you can wait. [Nov 2007, p.89]

    It's fairly easy but still makes for a pretty, touching story. [July 2009, p.74]

    Lack of tactical options makes you feel powerless. [June 2014, p.76]

    Attractive tennis with a Mario twist, but hobbled by hard-to-aim motion controls.

    If Cooking Mama 3 were a steak, it'd be a medium-cooked one. It's satisfying enough, but it's certainly not rare and it's not exactly well done.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    A solid strategy title for younger gamers. A little polish wouldn't have hurt though. [Sept 2009, p.82]
    • 65 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    A simple but fun on-rails slasher. [May 2008, p.84]

    If you're after a 'serious' football game on the Wii you could do a heck of a lot worse than FIFA 08. If you had concerns about the controls, don't worry - it works. [Dec 2007, p.82]

    Sadly, Children of Mana's extremely repetitive gameplay means that if you're playing for an extended period of time the game's appeal wanes. It all depends on what kind of player you are. [Feb 2007, p.76]

    QubicGames has made an average game and ruined thousands of GCSE English essays. Cheers, guys.

    A weak hide-and-seek game that's as laborious as it is devoid of fun. [Feb 2009, p.49]

    • 65 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It's another decent farming adventure but it's pretty much the same game that Marvelous have been churning out for ten years.

    • 87 Critic Score
    Dillon's Rolling Western is expensive but this tower defence game is also one of the best 3D games available in the eShop.

    You'll find the Wii Remote almost perfectly suited to lifting the toilet seat. [Sept 2007, p.86]

    The Run is really good when the racing is kept simple, but unfortunately it rarely is. Unfortunately, the overall feeling you take away is frustration.
