    A good puzzler but it's very difficult to recommend paying 25 pounds for it when you can play the similar Fruitfall for free online. Maybe it will get a Virtual Console release after all. [Feb 2007, p.72]

    It's simple, feature-light and there's no variety in here ("Tetris DS" is much better value), but for a budget price it's not a bad stop-gap game. [Aug 2008, p.101]

    Fair play to Ubisoft for playing to the DS's strengths, but this is a lightweight offering.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 66 Critic Score
    A boring old caterpillar rather than a beautiful butterfly - not what we'd hoped for at all. [Nov 2008, p.79]

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

    • 66 Critic Score
    As a basic tennis sim this does a perfectly adequate job. Ignore the more-trouble-than-it's-worth touch screen control system and it plays fine. It's just a pity there's so little to do. [Jan 2007, p.78]

    A nice idea but a little too basic. [Sept 2010, p.97]

    Rio
    A well-executed game that'll certainly keep younger players entertained. [June 2011, p.95]

    "Quotation Forthcoming"
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 70 Metascore
    • 66 Critic Score
    About as fresh, innovative and welcome as a "Last of Summer Wine" re-run. [Apr 2009, p.66]

    Fun while it lasts, which isn't very long. [May 2013, p.86]
    • 61 Metascore
    • 66 Critic Score
    There's a lightweight, throwaway feel to the racer. Still, it fills a gap in the Wii racer genre. [Jan 2008, p.74]

    • 79 Metascore
    • 66 Critic Score
    More physics toybox than game, Little Inferno manages to be both enjoyably mad and annoyingly maddening. Wait to snap it up in an eShop fire sale.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 66 Critic Score
    The story mode won't last long, but there is a random castle mode and a level editor to keep you busy in what is no more than an okay download.

    • 66 Critic Score
    A charming game with a clever gameplay mechanic but not a lot else on top of that. [Feb 2011, p.94]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 61 Metascore
    • 66 Critic Score
    The slowest of slow-burners, yet it offers a huge challenge that deserves better and more varied combat and AI.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 66 Critic Score
    Should keep snap-happy tweens busy. [Mar 2010, p.94]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 58 Metascore
    • 66 Critic Score
    The story's too confusing for words and the action, while enjoyable, is highly repetitive. That said, it's a solid enough package for anyone into the TV show, we suppose. [Nov 2007, p.90]

    • 46 Metascore
    • 66 Critic Score
    A dumbed down on-rails shooter, albeit a half-decent one. [Christmas 2010, p.82]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 46 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    This is the sort of game that's perfect for the Wii Remote as anyone can pick it up. [Jan 2007, p.79]

    Fun multiplayer partly makes up for lousy solo play. You'll need some willing chums. [Mar 2011, p.104]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 70 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Increasingly tired tactics. [March 2014, p.84]

    • 54 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Sadly, this clever take on split-screen shooting just isn't developed enough.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Opoona has a great deal of potential, but it's too frustrating to properly recommend. A missed opportunity. [Aug 2008, p.96]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 59 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    A few great little mini-games mixed with some mediocre distractions, but Tron fans will enjoy. [Jan 2011, p.85]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 79 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Fall for it and you'll fall hard, but its challenges left our fun glands untickled. [Jan 2014, p.82]

    • 65 Critic Score
    It's full of bluster, but it's not going to provide hours of friendship. [Dec 2009, p.95]

    • 65 Critic Score
    Feels like more bitter pill than it should. [Dec 2012, p.109]

    • 65 Critic Score
    While far from perfect, there are more than enough ideas here for Upper Byte to build into something special. For the time being, wait for an eShop sale. [Apr 2014, p.80]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 58 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Vibrant, simple stuff aimed squarely at a generation who know Pac as a superpowered teenage hero, rather than the characterless, quip-free globe of old. [May 2014, p.89]
