As great as it is, we can't believe we've waited two years for this. [June 2008, p.80]

This offers some very poor football action with frustrating, nonsensical gameplay and awful visuals. [May 2008, p.94]

There are a few unnecessary tweaks but they don't ruin the challenging old-school platform action. We'd wait to see if the NES version arrives on the Virtual Console though. [Mar 2007, p.88]

The surprise smash hit of the winter? We hope so, as this puzzler is one of the console's very best games. [Dec 2008, p.78]

Impressive in some places, but downright clumsy and unpolished in others. Proof that trying to squeez a 'big' console game onto the DS isn't always gonig to work. [Apr 2008, p.91]

The definitive horse game out there, not that that's a hard claim considering the competition. Still, those with a love of equine action will be more than happy with what it offers. [Feb 2008, p.86]

The classic mode is still decent, but shoddy visuals, no online mode and a basic quest give this a budget feel. [Apr 2008, p.90]

It's still worth considering even if you played it on the Wii first time around. [Mar 2008, p.74]

Its style and sense of humour turn a simple slash 'em up into something genuinely enjoyable. [Mar 2008, p.64]

As freeform a game as you're likely to get, offering depth beyond measure. [Jan 2008, p.80]

A deep, fulfilling and rewarding strategy epic. [Mar 2008, p.80]

Samurai Warriors will hurt you in ways that you've never been hurt before. [Apr 2008, p.80]

Visually, it's a horrid mess of jagged polygons and smeared textures. [Apr 2008, p.76]

You'll often have to tediously meander through the game's various locations. [June 2008, p.88]

A surprisingly fun effort, but it's just not as solid as it should be (the controls in particular) and the overly complex mechanics might put the more casual Sonic fans off. [Mar 2008, p.84]

A few niggling control issues aside, Journey of Dreams is an enjoyable adventure. [Feb 2008, p.82]

A better single-player game but the controls, lack of online and similarity to the last game docks its points. [Aug 2008, p.90]

The Wii Remote hasn't been used well here and it's trickier than playing it for real. And it's Jenga - do we really need this? [Apr 2008, p.88]

It's like a compilation of gaming's worst moments, wrapped up in a film license. [Feb 2008, p.20]

Good fun for a couple of hours, but then its lack of depth starts to show through. [June 2008, p.85]

It might make the hardcore gamer in us cringe at its mainstream appeal, but that doesn't make it any less enjoyable. [Feb 2008, p.85]

There's no fighting game quite like Dragon Ball Z, and BT3 plays brilliantly. [Feb 2008, p.78]

Ridiculously addictive. [May 2008, p.82]

Better than being in the arcades and with more extras than an all-you-can-eat buffet, Ghost Squad gets a high five from us. Future shooters take note: the bar has been set high. [Feb 2008, p.68]

A mindless slog that not even devoted fans will play through. [Oct 2008, p.98]

The disappointing lack of multiplayer modes aside, this is almost the perfect strategy package. [Feb 2008, p.62]

Fiendishly addictive. [Jan 2008, p.83]

It's a tough game but for all the wrong reasons. For Trauma Center die-hards only.
