    Reasonably enjoyable while it lasts. [June 2009, p.88]

    Had this been four times longer it would have been one of our favourite games. [March 2013, p.92]

    So basic and cut-down, THQ might as well have called it "My First SmackDown." [Christmas 2007, p.90]

    The brutal difficulty level makes it an acquired taste and it may seem unfairly tough. But Ikaruga fans might find it short when they defeat the final fifth level within an hour. Still, for just 500 Points, this is a good option.

    We're putting our foot down. Please Sega, no more 10 year old ports. [Apr 2008, p.81]

    It's surprising there aren't more ways to enjoy these great little games. [Christmas 2010, p.86]

    An impressive attempt to cram the full F1 season into a Nintendo 3DS.

    Open Season is playable but you won't enjoy playing it. Its dull collecting scenarios and repetitive sound bites will drain your soul. Another bad movie tie-in. [Dec 2006, p.94]

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

    Step & Roll is a happy effort that proves more enjoyable when you ignore the Balance Board, in the single player mode at least. There's enough new stuff in here to keep long-time fans amused, with the multiplayer and mini-game modes being the standout features, as ever. A chimp off the old block.

    Jump, spin platform, jump again, flame baddie, repeat-to-fade. Yes, it's boring stuff. [Aug 2009, p.103]

    "Quotation Forthcoming"

    Basic graphics, basic strategy game. It's not bad, but it's not brilliant either.

    The main problem is all the extra pointless gestures you have to do during songs. [May 2009, p.89]

    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 worthy companion to the Wii U version, it's a very good game and an interesting take on handheld 3D platforming, something still in short supply on 3DS.

    Lacks depth. [Aug 2014, p.86]

    It may well improve your coordination but no more than any other game. [Christmas 2007, p.92]

    A few great little mini-games mixed with some mediocre distractions, but Tron fans will enjoy. [Jan 2011, p.85]

    It's not going to change the world but old-school platforming fanatics will find much to enjoy here. Not half bad. [Mar 2009, p.85]

    Not worth the exorbitant eShop price. [May 2014, p.88]

    It helps to be a Bleach fan, otherwise much of the story will whistle by your ears. [Mar 2010, p.87]

    Frustrating. [Jan 2012, p.83]

    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.

    If you can believe it, this is possibly even worse than the diabolical "Spider-Man 3." [Christmas 2007, p.83]

    One of the better Pokemon spin-offs out there, this is also one of the longer-lasting WiiWare games around.

    It's alright, but not good enough for us to forgive yet another port. [Aug 2007, p.76]

    Not an awful lot here, but it's funny enough to keep younger gamers playing. [June 2011, p.88]

    • 56 Critic Score
    There are two games here: the one you've been led to hope for and the one you play. It's not so much a valiant effort as a nice idea that never got used.
