Retro's starting to pull the same trick it managed for Metroid - Tropical Freeze draws on decades-old ideas and punches them into excellent new shapes.

More of the same, which is no bad thing at all. If you loved the first, you'll feel the same about the second.

You couldn't call this a game, but it's brilliant for budding artists. [July 2012, p.97]

If you're on the lookout for a puzzle game that has a gripping story, a funny script and a cast of colourful characters that offers something a little different, Ghost Trick is a resounding success.

More of the same, which is no bad thing at all. If you loved the first, you'll feel the same about the second.

There's a subtlety of theme and a sense of personality here that is matched by almost nothing else on 3DS. [Oct 2013, p.83]

Serious boxing action that isn't spoilt by silly effects. Don King's Boxing is a great option. [Apr 2009, p.68]

After Shantae: Risky's Revenge, Aliens Infestation and Mighty Flip Champs, this is another excellent game from WayForward. Packed with original ideas but there just aren't enough stages.

Offers hours of fun brain-bending gameplay. [June 2010, p.94]

Still the best WWII shooter around and the Wii Remote and Nunchuk serve to enhance the experience. With a multiplayer mode it would have been pure gold. [Christmas 2006, p.78]

Superb hand-drawn graphics Great voice acting Hint mode is a nice touch New scenes and puzzles.

From time to time a game really creeps out of nowhere and takes you by surprise. A handheld version of a cult PC game, Trackmania is one such gem. [Dec 2008, p.96]

A brilliant turnaround for Bomberman adventuring and a great mutliplayer game for your DS. [Mar 2007, p.76]

There's not so much replay value but the controls give it a new lease on life. [Christmas 2006, p.92]

Mildly disappointing port of an exceptional game that retains its charm.

Repetition is just about kept at bay by delicious artiness and deeply involving combat. [Dec 2009, p.80]

Despite the main game's brief length, Sonic Generations is fantastic fun. As long as you don't mind replaying the same levels to try to better your own records, which is a challenge in itself, this is an essential purchase for Sonic fans.

While it's essentially the same as it ever was, the added bells and whistles make this the best SimCity game on the DS.

A clever puzzler. [Christmas 2008, p.99]

A great expansion for the DS game. [June 2010, p.94]

Hugely enjoyable, if a touch short, but with enough replay value and atmosphere to make it work really well. [Oct 2007, p.88]

Toki Tori 2 features puzzling of the highest order in a world that could afford to be a little more user-friendly. Be brave and give it a go.

Get two people together and it's damn good fun! [June 2007, p.90]

Staggering depth. [Apr 2010, p.80]

Beautiful, action-packed and crazy as hell to boot. [May 2008, p.75]

Goodbye, old friend: it's been one hell of a ride, albeit a very familiar one. Azran Legacy represents a rock-solid end to a Nintendo handheld champion.

It's not perfect but it's greatly improved, and with tons of game modes and tournaments in here, you'll get a solid round of golf out of this. Finally. [Nov 2008, p.102]
