    Look, we won't beat about the bush here. It's a game about tanks blowing up other tanks. What more do you want?

    What a stinker. [Aug 2008, p.101]

    How Sega thinks it can get away with this utter detritus is beyond us. [July 2008, p.101]

    The control system and mission structure makes it unfairly annoying at times. [Mar 2009, p.88]

    An old PC game ported to the DS to cash in on people waning to bash their heads in. [May 2010, p.85]

    Feels archaic compared to the likes of Face Raiders. Shame. [Jan 2013, p.110]

    There's a certain amount of tension as the clock ticks, but moving the stylus up and down to mow lawns is both fiddly and a bit dull - you really need to keep all three mowers running at once to succeed. Add in a ravenous dog that wants to bite chunks out of your kids and the result is a gruelling, unforgiving... well, chore.

    A soulless title with poor mini-games, this is a party that needs no pooping.

    Quite why they didn't simply make a new Myst specifically for the DS is the real mystery. [Feb 2008, p.84]

    A dull game that makes no use of the Wii U functionality. [Jan 2013, p.102]

    It's rubbish fun. [Mar 2010, p.94]

    A surprisingly good instalment. Well worth a look if you see it for 20 quid or so. [Apr 2011, p.90]
    • 43 Metascore

    A complete waste of time. [Christmas 2010, p.81]

    • 35 Critic Score
    It takes a genuinely profound kind of idiocy to turn such a romping good series into something so leaden. [Feb 2014, p.91]

    • 45 Critic Score
    A game rendered so easy by the needs of its target market, that it's dead on arrival. Consider this a Surf eulogy. [Sept 2013, p.89]

    The effort has been put in here - it's very easy to make your own Tetris clone by selecting different blocks and a background with the stylus before sharing it with friends via StreetPass or QR codes.
    • 42 Metascore
    • 31 Critic Score
    Just feels like an unfinished mess that's been rushed to the shops in time for the release of the movie it's based on. [Aug 2011, p.99]

    • 42 Metascore
    • 31 Critic Score
    Quite simply a rotten game with woefully little variation in gameplay and turgid mechanics. There's very little fun here an dit's cetainly a long way from 'cowabunga', dude. [May 2007, p.78]

    The game's instant appeal fades quickly. It's cheap but not particularly cheerful. [July 2008, p.86]

    A very unpleasant experience. [June 2013, p.84]

    GT Pro Series has got decent cars and passable handling, but the below average physics and utterly shameful visuals give this a cheap, unfinished feel. [Feb 2007, p.84]

    • 41 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    As movie tie-ins go this is a decent effort - but you'd need to have downed your body weight in butter-beer to claim that it didn't need a little more care, attention and (perhaps) experience in its creation.

    Tyranna-bore-us Rex. Triceraplops.Velocicraptor. You get the picture.

    No ambition, love or visible original thought has gone into this miserable shell of a game. [Aug 2014, p.86]

    Dull and barely related to footie. [Feb 2011, p.93]

    They're actually playable (for the most part) and don't feel rushed or broken. [Christmas 2010, p.91]
