    This one's a bit rusty. [Apr 2010, p.93]

    Fun and sweet at first, but overall a bit of a cat-astrophe that would make more sense as an endless runner. [June 2014, p.88]

    The increased precision of Wii MotionPlus is wasted and the result is a game you should steer clear of. [May 2010, p.85]

    It sounds simple, but in reality, this is really tough. [June 2009, p.88]

    The unfortunate fact is that Bubble Bobble has been done too many times before. Yes, it's playable and challenging, but it's also old and far too simplistic for hte modern gaming era. [Mar 2007, p.77]

    Does exactly what it sets out to do. We're just not entirely sure if that qualifies as a success. [Sept 2013, p.89]

    A fun farming sim that suffers at the hands of ridiculous pricing. Only lunatics will hand over 30 notes for this.

    Appreciate Twin Strike for what it is - good, clean budget-priced fun - and you won't be disappointed. [Nov 2008, p.105]

    Scrolling levels are better as you need to concentrate and rely on reactions, but this isn't one we'd recommend seeing through to the end. [Aug 2012, p.103]

    • 50 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A licensed game that manages to work on its own terms, but only just pulls it off. [Oct 2012, p.97]

    • 50 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    Too basic for single-player gaming and too expensive for multiplayer gaming. [June 2008, p.86]

    • 50 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    We applaud Battle For Earth's unique approach to simplistic fighting, but its lack of content and depth won't impress anyone but the most junior gamers.
    • 50 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    It's a dull trek and the stupid storyline doesn't help much. [Christmas 2010, p.91]

    • 50 Metascore
    • 41 Critic Score
    It tries to be different but falls flat on its face. It's repetitive, dull and we doubt that you'd see out the first hour. Avoid. [Sept 2008, p.93]

    • 63 Critic Score
    How this utterly random jumble of ideas even got off the drawing board is beyond us. [Christmas 2008, p.102]

    "Quotation Forthcoming"

    It'll appeal to fans, but this by-the-books platformer takes far too long to warm up. [Aug 2011, p.98]

    It's just a nice idea that doesn't work very well. [Dec 2008, p.98]

    • 81 Critic Score
    The definitive horse game out there, not that that's a hard claim considering the competition. Still, those with a love of equine action will be more than happy with what it offers. [Feb 2008, p.86]
