    A short single-player mode makes the 1,000 Wii Points price tag a little on the high side, but the multi-player mode makes up for it. A solid start into what will hopefully be a long lasting franchise.

    The single-player sinks, but the multiplayer battle mode floats our boat. [Issue#24, p.24]

    The game looks good and holds promise, but that promise is never kept – single player just drags on and on with very little challenge, and multiplayer just doesn't have enough to it to extend it beyond a short diversion. And that's only if you have three buddies to play with you.
