    Does about as much as you'd hope a notebook on the DSi could do. Fair enough. [Jan 2010, p.85]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 45 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    A technically decent WiiWare game, but it's nothing remarkable. Not essential. [Mar 2010, p.94]

    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A perfectly respectable time-waster. [Sept 2010, p.97]

    • 70 Metascore
    • 66 Critic Score
    About as fresh, innovative and welcome as a "Last of Summer Wine" re-run. [Apr 2009, p.66]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 43 Metascore
    • 32 Critic Score
    An old PC game ported to the DS to cash in on people waning to bash their heads in. [May 2010, p.85]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 60 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    A decent game with some good ideas let down by an absence of blockbuster thrills.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It's only likely to prove its worth after a few weeks of play. [Jan 2010, p.80]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 86 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    The strategy game we never knew we needed, but now we don't know what we'd do without. [Feb 2010, p.78]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 62 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    It's a pity Capcom hasn't optimised this for Wii, but this is a great chance to get reacquainted. [Jan 2010, p.70]
    • 31 Metascore
    • 43 Critic Score
    It just isn't that fun to play. [Jan 2010, p.87]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 84 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    The series continues to entertain and the twist at the end of this one is a cracker. [Feb 2010, p.85]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • tbd Metascore
    • 32 Critic Score
    Extremely basic stuff, this is one WiiWare game that'll have kids bored fairly quickly. [Jan 2010, p.87]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • tbd Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    An inventive idea executed well. Worth a look to see what the DSi can actually do. [Feb 2010, p.86]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 49 Metascore
    • 39 Critic Score
    It's south of average. [May 2010, p.85]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • tbd Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Three or four-year-olds will have a ball, but there's nothing here for Contra ReBirth fans. [Dec 2009, p.99]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • tbd Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    A good idea in theory, but the execution's a bit sloppy. Only for strategy beginners. [Christmas 2009, p.102]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 79 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Insanely hard retro magic. [Apr 2010, p.90]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • tbd Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    It's not the most original game in the world but we enjoyed this cute platformer. [Feb 2010, p.85]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Does about as much as you'd hope a notebook on the DSi could do. Fair enough. [Jan 2010, p.85]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 75 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    It's got a lot of style and the substance shows up eventually but it's well short of classic status.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 44 Critic Score
    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.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    There's not much new here, but this is a gently humorous adventure that Indy fans will enjoy.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Just Dance is a facilitator, not a game. [Mar 2010, p.87]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 69 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    A missed opportunity to right the first game's wrongs. A by-the-numbers platforming experience.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A bit sloppy, but a fun game for safari-obsessed youngsters and arcade enthusiasts. [Jan 2010, p.74]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 80 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    You don't get the resistance bands either, so if you don't have the first game you're at a disadvantage. [Feb 2010, p.83]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 83 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Get the hang of it and this will take over your life in ways that should probably be illegal. [Dec 2009, p.97]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 69 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    A good start for the series. It's just a shame it looks so shabby and is already out of date.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    One of the better Pokemon spin-offs out there, this is also one of the longer-lasting WiiWare games around.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 96 Critic Score
    Bigger, better and harder than NSMB DS, this is the Mario game we were waiting for. Essential. [Dec 2009, p.96]
