It had potential but at the end of the day it just doesn't work. This really needs Wii MotionPlus.

Had Sonic Chronicles simply been a standard RPG with generic characters in it, it would still have been a fantastic title. The fact that it actually features familiar faces and backgrounds only adds to the enjoyment.

If you can find this for slightly cheaper then go for it. It's fun but doesn't last very long. [Dec 2008, p.77]

Offers almost everything we want from a BM game. Multiplayer japes don't get better than this. [Dec 2008, p.84]

For just 600 Points, you can't go wrong here. [Jan 2009, p.101]

A decent remake and one worth the attention of puzzle fans everywhere. [Nov 2008, p.104]

The woeful AI and a few clumsy sections detract from what's otherwise a really enjoyable arcade-style experience. But it looks and sounds great and there are enough unlockables to warrant a second and third playthrough.

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

Excellent in so many ways, but falls down hard due to control shortcomings. [Nov 2008, p.82]

It would be a crime if only hardcore gamers enjoyed this. The deepest game on DS, full stop.

A sweet little game that offers a nice change of pace from usual RPGs. It's VERY cute though. [May 2009, p.77]

You've really got to wonder how much longer the fun will last. [Dec 2008, p.101]

LEGO Batman is great fun, but it's too easy and too familiar to get really excited about. [Nov 2008, p.92]

A very clever concept broken by a game that's so linear, you could use it as a ruler. [Feb 2009, p.82]

A treat of a game that's as creative and funky as it is new and interesting - we can't recommend it enough. [Nov 2008, p.77]

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 gorgeous adventure with bags of invention. Behind "Galaxy," this is the second-best platformer on Wii. [Oct 2008, p.74]

Great fun while it lasts...it's just a shame that this isn't very long. If you don't mind easy games, go for it. [Dec 2008, p.68]

It's fantastically dull. [Dec 2008, p.97]

The ultimate retro game and a huge challenge. At around 7 quid, this is essential. [Dec 2008, p.82]

With a bit more to it we'd have no issues giving this a Gold Award. As it is, it's great fun but far too short. [Oct 2008, p.84]

A great little puzzle game. [Oct 2008, p.97]

A decent adventure, but it'll require persistence to get the most from it. [Oct 2008, p.94]

A really tough game to pick up and play. [Dec 2008, p.98]

Funnier than "Episode One." If only that strategy bit wasn't quite so annoying. [Dec 2008, p.87]

It's just a nice idea that doesn't work very well. [Dec 2008, p.98]

Younger gamers and good artists might get more out of it but we'd much rather let Miyamoto draw out characters for us, thank you very much. [Nov 2008, p.103]

Dancing fans will lap it up. [July 2009, p.93]
