    A potentially great title let down by a terrible camera and one of the most bewildering controller decisions we can remember. Get the Wii version instead.

    There's already a better air combat game on the Wii in the shape of "Heatseeker," but if you'd rather try something more historical this isn't too bad. [Apr 2007, p.78]

    It is, and always has been, a horribly vanilla platformer with very little soul to it. [Christmas 2008, p.103]

    This is the same licensed platform stuff people have been playing for years. [Jan 2007, p.77]

    • 57 Metascore
    • 59 Critic Score
    The classic mode is still decent, but shoddy visuals, no online mode and a basic quest give this a budget feel. [Apr 2008, p.90]

    Fair play to Ubisoft for playing to the DS's strengths, but this is a lightweight offering.

    Style over substance.[July 2009, p.93]

    Connect 4 works and little else. [Feb 2010, p.83]

    Utterly uninspired. [Sept 2007, p.84]

    There really is no excuse for such a poor Wii version. Sort it out Activision. [Jan 2008, p.87]

    The whole thing gets repetitive very quickly. [May 2010, p.91]

    Once you've been through all the photos, there's no replay value to be had. [Oct 2009, p.89]

    It had potential but at the end of the day it just doesn't work. This really needs Wii MotionPlus.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It doesn't do anything so spectacularly well that you must own a copy. [June 2007, p.96]

    One annoyance is that you can't queue up tiles. [July 2010, p.87]

    A decent Potter package. [Christmas 2010, p.84]

    Disappointing. [Oct 2011, p.97]

    If you've played more than a couple of games in your life you'll breeze through this without any hassle. [May 2009, p.88]

    • 56 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    A competent but ultimately soulless and uninspired slash 'em up that doesn't push the DS to anywhere near its full capabilities. [Oct 2007, p.94]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 56 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    Fun, but limited. [June 2010, p.88]

    Vanguard is lacking in atmosphere and intensity - things step up for the final level but it's too late by then. Even without a multiplayer mode, "Call of Duty 3" beats this. [May 2007, p.80]

    Bakushow is the very definition of a cheap and cheerful game - perfect for those whose wit is as sharp as their stylus. [Sept 2008, p.96]

    • 56 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A bit sloppy, but a fun game for safari-obsessed youngsters and arcade enthusiasts. [Jan 2010, p.74]

    • 56 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    A surprisingly fun effort, but it's just not as solid as it should be (the controls in particular) and the overly complex mechanics might put the more casual Sonic fans off. [Mar 2008, p.84]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 56 Metascore

    A huge disappointment. [Apr 2010, p.92]

    The same old Cooking Mama. [Feb 2012, p.104]

    Falls flat at the first hurdle. [Oct 2008, p.95]

    Michael Jackson fans will definitely get something out of The Experience but it's still disappointing.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    Ultimately, Lightsaber Duels is only really worth getting for either those who have seen and done everything in The Force Unleashed and crave more Star Wars action or for younger gamers who love the recent Clone Wars cartoons and aren't that interested in the live-action movies.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 61 Critic Score
    A charming game with limited but decent gameplay. [Mar 2010, p.93]
