    The slowest of slow-burners, yet it offers a huge challenge that deserves better and more varied combat and AI.

    Many more hits than misses. Only a must if you need another controller, though. [July 2011, p.94]

    Here's hoping that Megaman gets back to his roots in the near future. [Jan 2008, p.82]

    • 55 Critic Score
    Fun in very short bursts, but this is too frustrating and too flawed to be enjoyed for any longer. [June 2009, p.80]

    • 60 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A decent game, but samey and too like the first title to be a real must-buy. [Apr 2012, p.98]
    • 60 Metascore
    • 51 Critic Score
    For a game that's so starved of content, 1,000 Points is a bit hard to swallow. [Feb 2010, p.89]

    • 78 Critic Score
    Something of a rarity - a licensed game that's actually fun. It's no "Resident Evil" but it'll keep the young ones entertained for a while, even if it's a rather short while. [Oct 2006, p.92]

    While we can appreciate what Dust Strikers is trying to do, it just doesn't work. [Nov 2007, p.85]

    One for the Wario hardcore only. [June 2007, p.95]

    • 60 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    It may not have much replay value once all the puzzles are done, but it's a fun story with some real head-scratchers.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    This could be one of those slow-burning games you come back to in between more involving titles. [June 2009, p.81]

    • 80 Critic Score
    Guitar Rock Tour is a great effort. It's a Guitar Hero beater (just about) but with more songs it would have been pretty special.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    A decent game with some good ideas let down by an absence of blockbuster thrills.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    Spyro hasn't the strength to soar into the realms of a must buy title but he's got more than enough stamina to hover above the current crop of average platformers. [Christmas 2007, p.74]

    Sometimes you'll receive a fraction of your rightful score. [June 2011, p.89]

    • 60 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    Mystery Detective looks great but is lacking in the gameplay department because the puzzles are often too obscure to be worked out properly. Trial-and-error isn't much fun. [May 2007, p.84]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 60 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    It's good fun at first but the difficulty ramps up far too quickly and it becomes frustrating indeed. [July 2010, p.95]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 60 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    It's fun in short bursts but this hasn't been updated enough to compensate for its rather shallow gameplay. [Mar 2009, p.83]

    • 60 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    Decent enough, but the price stops us from fully endorsing this one. [Feb 2010, p.85]

    • 60 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The only annoyance is that it takes so long to restart a level, especially when it's so easy to fail. So forget the 3D - this is everything a good puzzle game should be. Simple to play, addictive, challenging and a little bit frustrating.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Underwhelming. [July 2009, p.96]

    It's fun while it lasts but at just four hours long, it's far, far too short. EA, you are a lazy bunch.

    • 85 Critic Score
    Pac-Man Tilt is almost good enough to recommend alone. An ace collection. [Sept 2011, p.88]
    • 60 Metascore
    • 54 Critic Score
    A missed opportunity. [June 2007, p.88]

    Sing Party shows off the huge potential the Wii U has for games of this genre. A few fixes could make it definitive but right now it remains simply solid.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    No, it's not that much different from last time, but that doesn't stop it being just as much fun. Definitely worth a look. [Aug 2008, p.94]

    A good idea, wasted. [Jan 2014, p.75]

    • 59 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Perfect for some and hellish for others. You know the phrase "know your audience"? Make sure you know you're that audience before getting this.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Cheery and great fun with two players, but the solo experience is all rather limited.
