    A potentially great game ruined by control issues. Stick with Little King's Story for your RTS adventure kicks.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    There's no doubting the quality of the game but veterans really won't be getting anything new here, so we can only recommend this to players who have yet to see where it all started. And even they might find the controls long past their sell by date.

    Avoid. [Apr 2010, p.95]

    Not the most complicated game but it's fun, particularly in multiplayer. [Aug 2010, p.97]

    Overlook the odd glitch and this is a fitting tribute to a cherished movie franchise.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 52 Critic Score
    It's suffering from similar feelings of neglect. [Dec 2009, p.94]

    • 51 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    It's a decent darts game and the Wii Remote adds a certain degree of realism to the proceedings. Unfortunately, the atmosphere is more local pub than Ally Pally. [Apr 2008, p.82]

    • 54 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    Proof that not even bona fide geniuses like Suda51 get it right every time. [Dec 2008, p.73]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 74 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    It offers nothing new but it's a Guitar Hero game with nearly 50 of the best songs in the series' history, so that's not a bad thing.
    • 45 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    A half-decent time-management game. [Aug 2009, p.99]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 53 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A straight remake would have been better. [July 2009, p.60]

    Pricey, given its lack of depth. [Sept 2009, p.95]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 68 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    Solid enough but with pretty basic multiplayer options it's no Mario Kart Wii challenger. [Aug 2009, p.95]
    • 70 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    A real curio, this is a smart, original title that isn't quite as enjoyable as it wants to be. [July 2009, p.84]
    • 65 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    A solid strategy title for younger gamers. A little polish wouldn't have hurt though. [Sept 2009, p.82]
    • 73 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    As a first attempt at Wii MotionPlus controls this is a decent effort, but it's not quite the definitive article. [July 2009, p.88]
    • 55 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It's scrappy, inconsistent and boasts over-used motion controls, but there is some fun to be had here. [Aug 2009, p.86]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 56 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    It's not terrible, just awkward. [Oct 2009, p.84]

    Modern Hits' career mode still has more going for it than the previous two handheld outings in the series. [Sept 2009, p.87]

    • 78 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A great choice to lead the Wii MotionPlus charge, combining summertime fun with great gameplay.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    If only the putting was more consistent. If it were, this would be as essential as "Grand Slam." [July 2009, p.80]
    • 84 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    A strategy game that anyone can get into and enjoy, Swords & Soldiers is the best WiiWare game of the year so far.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 57 Critic Score
    It could be so much more if the controls were more forgiving. Don't bother. [Aug 2009, p.102]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 82 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    If you're up for a challenge, this is a fantastic game. Like a lot of puzzle games it can be frustrating but it's worth the bother.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    A quality addition to the Final Fantasy family, but the extra add-ons are a bit cheeky. [Aug 2009, p.101]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 83 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    A charming, addictive and original addition to the growing DSiWare library. [Jan 2010, p.83]
    • Official Nintendo Magazine UK
    • 69 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Although some might turn their nose up at Walk With Me! and what it sets out to do, if you're looking for a useful keep-fit aid or are thrilled by cleverly-presented data, there's no doubt this is a worthy investment.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    The Munchables is a nifty little game, but it's all over far too quickly for us to recommend it as a must-have title.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    Much better value than the straight NES port. [June 2009, p.88]
