A large stock of firearms is available but a steady thumb is required because there is no auto-targeting.

While this rises above its predecessors, its true potential is hampered by restricted game mechanics.

At first it seems too easy to post sub-par scores, but once the more difficult courses are unlocked - along with stiffer winds, constantly undulating topography and tight fairways - the game is a more satisfying and enjoyable challenge.

Replay value is the weakest link, but the bonus missions attempt to offer some variety. It is best enjoyed in small doses.

While conventional, Ty 3 is diverse family fun at a wallet-pleasing price.

The outrageous characters, puerile gags and crass commentary provide chuckles but the jokes soon become stale. Player reactions after each point also quickly become tiresome.

What scuppers a lot of the enjoyment here is the flakey artificial intelligence of the enemies and the sheer willpower needed to persist through many of the technical glitches.

It may lack challenge, but it's a decent start for newcomers who won't be thrown to the simulation lions.

But if you know the difference between a Mame emulator and a Lame encoder, this could be right up your eight-colour alley.

Only role-playing addicts and fantasy aficionados will see the value in this title.

The puzzles are clever and the variety is terrific, but it can be too tough and frustrating, particularly for the young audience the game would otherwise appeal to.

Just about everything in Ultra Street Fighter II that isn't 25 years old is divisive at best, and at worst seems outright lazy. None of these features take anything away from the excellence of the core game though. The portability of the Switch and its instant two-player chops means not only can you defeat M. Bison on the train, but you can bring out the machine to settle a grudge match with a friend absolutely anywhere, at any time.

Good graphics and intelligent level design help to make this a worthy enough companion to Arthur's elaborate adventures on the big screen.

The only thing blazing will be the tail section of your plane and your fragile patience.

A tabletop-style survival sandbox that you can take on alone or with friends, State of Decay 2 packs in enough scavenging fun to make the occasional malfunctioning weapon or levitating enemy easy enough to endure.

The fact that the characters are so annoying makes it quite enjoyable to see them meet their makers, but it's wise to protect them for as long as possible.

The highlight is a brief but thrilling broomstick chase against a fire-breathing dragon. An underwater interlude is less successful, although it provides variety.

Children of Mana is beautifully presented but it's too childlike to satisfy serious gamers.

Good graphics and intelligent level design help to make this a worthy enough companion to Arthur's elaborate adventures on the big screen.

While the game is well put together I have to question whether this franchise is a good fit. With only two films' worth of content to work with it's clear TT had to really stretch to get this much stuff out of The Incredibles, and that lack of depth doesn't do any favours for the obviously ageing Lego format that's been largely unchanged for more than a decade.

Batman smartly accommodates beginners and never frustrates, but it forgets that much of the pleasure derived from gaming is freedom. Too often you feel you are going through the motions because you can only fight at predetermined positions.

Spectacular sequences include bombing foes as an eagle and battling in the midst of a buffalo stampede. Some tasks feel like players are being asked to jump through arbitrary hoops, but it is the occasionally wayward camera that will cause the most grumbles.

The fact that the characters are so annoying makes it quite enjoyable to see them meet their makers, but it's wise to protect them for as long as possible.

The classification warns of mild fantasy violence, which sums up the game nicely.

The only thing blazing will be the tail section of your plane and your fragile patience.

It's a shame the innovative DS touch screen is hardly used here - play only requires use of the directional pad and buttons. The cat-and-mouse action is still as addictive as ever, but the new changes are not that innovative.

A deep and enjoyable racing game but offers little to stand out from the pack.

While the cars in other games fold and dent realistically, depending on the speed and direction of the impact, damage to Crash 'n' Burn's cars seems artificial, with entire panels suddenly replaced with scratched versions at the merest hint of a high-speed nudge.
