    A shadow of its siblings on other platforms. [Christmas 2010, p.87]

    Some great recipes but the experience is marred by fiddly cooking games. [Christmas 2008, p.87]

    Very average indeed. [Apr 2010, p.93]

    The skateboard controller looks the part but doesn't work and seems to hate the game it was designed for. It may yet fall to another game to get the best out of it.

    Fun while it lasts, but you can finish the whole game before your bottle of Butterbeer gets flat.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 54 Critic Score
    Some interesting bits of "art," but it's pointless as they're freely available elsewhere. [Mar 2011, p.103]

    It's hard to care about villagers when they are all generic-faced repetition bots. [June 2014, p.86]

    • 31 Critic Score
    Had so much potential, but this is ultimately a waste of Points. There are countless better games out there.

    The core gameplay is much like the GameCube version, it looks good and its comedy "Star Wars" style is amusing. But it's so glitchy it's almost insulting. A bit of a disappointment, really. [Nov 2006, p.86]

    Underwhelming. [Sept 2014, p.90]

    Endless Ocean, we get - it has a point. This, on the one hand, is ridiculous. [Nov 2008, p.104]

    • 46 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    There's not a huge amount of content, the handling a little wobbly at times, and the tracks tend to get very familiar. [May 2010, p.85]

    • 46 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Could have been so much better but hasn't been fine-tuned well enough. [Oct 2010, p.95]

    Sorry, Sega, but your luck with movie licenses just isn't getting any better. [Sept 2008, p.101]

    • 20 Critic Score
    There's always one dreadful launch game (remember the GameCube's "Universal Tour"?) and Rampage: World Destruction is the Wii's. Even if you once enjoyed "Rampage" you won't like this. [Jan 2007, 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]

    • 46 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    There's a very good game in there, but it's smothered by dull, arbitrary exploring.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    As a fun way to spend a half an hour it's not bad. [Oct 2010, p.94]

    Avoid. [Apr 2010, p.95]

    Should entertain any kids after they've been to see the film. [Mar 2011, p.100]

    The on-rails steering mechanic will be an insult to your gaming ability. [Apr 2008, p.79]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 46 Metascore
    • 66 Critic Score
    A dumbed down on-rails shooter, albeit a half-decent one. [Christmas 2010, p.82]

    • 46 Metascore
    • 43 Critic Score
    Heartbreakingly awful. [Feb 2009, p.84]

    Not for everyone, but younger gamers and arcade fans will love it. The multiplayer mode adds a surreal slice of joy, too. [Jan 2013, p.103]
    • 45 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    The new best worst game ever. Briefly entertaining in a terrible B movie sort of way, but once that wears off this is just insulting.
    • 45 Metascore
    • 48 Critic Score
    So despite all the options - Championship mode, Capture The Flag, four player split screen and a Hot Pursuit mode - the wild handling is a little too much to cope with.
    • 45 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    A half-decent time-management game. [Aug 2009, p.99]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 45 Metascore

    Imprecise motion controls and muddy visuals. [Christmas 2008, p.99]

    A technically decent WiiWare game, but it's nothing remarkable. Not essential. [Mar 2010, p.94]

    Quotation forthcoming. [Sept 2010]
