    A fun puzzler, but why should fans spend more money on a game they already played? Stingy stuff. [Jan 2013, p.111]

    • 65 Critic Score
    Though the tempo is rather tricky, Fun Unit's offering takes the cube route to a decent eShop game. [June 2014, p.89]

    • 59 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    We're putting our foot down. Please Sega, no more 10 year old ports. [Apr 2008, p.81]

    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.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    There's no real reason to keep playing beyond the initial weird-factor. [March 2013, p.96]

    Go for Starship Patrol instead. [Sept 2010, p.97]

    If you are prepared to put up with the so-so presentation, Bobby Carrot Forever is a decent puzzler with 60 tricky levels.

    • 65 Critic Score
    What it lacks in charm it (almost) makes up for in tension as you only have three lives. [June 2012, p.109]

    • 65 Critic Score
    An adequate platformer, but we're warning you, wear sunglasses. [Nov 2009, p.103]

    • 68 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    A potentially great game ruined by control issues. Stick with Little King's Story for your RTS adventure kicks.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    With 3D visuals that are reminiscent of Pilotwings Resort, Fun Fun Minigolf Touch looks lovely and it does live up to its name at first, even if you probably won't want to play it for more than a few hours.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    The relatively high price is a bit of a turn-off. [Sept 2012, p.107]

    • 65 Critic Score
    Three or four-year-olds will have a ball, but there's nothing here for Contra ReBirth fans. [Dec 2009, p.99]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 66 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    A robust package that oozes colour and charm, but lacks the variety necessary to maintain excitement and appeal beyond its dedicated fan base. [Sept 2014, p.88]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 62 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    It's technically impressive(ish), but not as fun or funny as the Wii U game. Younger gamers who haven't played GTA will still enjoy it, though.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    It's hard for a game to win hearts when it keeps kicking you in the shins. [Aug 2014, p.82]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 49 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    A slight, but serviceable spin-off that has bags of energy, if little else. [Nov 2013, p.80]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 71 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    The Munchables is a nifty little game, but it's all over far too quickly for us to recommend it as a must-have title.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    A great idea in theory but in practice it's just not as much fun being the good guy.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    It looks great, but you'll end up feeling like a mindless zombie playing it. [June 2010, p.96]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 70 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    It's fun, but for 30 quid, it's no bargain. [Apr 2009, p.87]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 70 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    A classic Saito number that is interesting, compelling and inevitably, just a little too odd to recommend to everyone.

    Mama may be smiling away on the box but you certainly won't be if you buy this after playing her old games.

    Uno
    Virtually identical to the WiiWare version with the added bonus of not letting other players see your cards. [Jan 2010, p.87]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 66 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    As it is, it's just an average port of a game that's just about hanging onto the legacy of some great game design from a few years ago. A little bit more love next time, please.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    Surprisingly competent. [Sept 2011, p.92]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • tbd Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    We love the idea but it needs a bit more meat to justify a full recommendation. [Aug 2010, p.97]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 54 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    Proof that not even bona fide geniuses like Suda51 get it right every time. [Dec 2008, p.73]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 60 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    A decent game with some good ideas let down by an absence of blockbuster thrills.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    A good platformer that's far too short and far too expensive for what it offers. [Feb 2011, p.95]
