    • Metascore: 54
    • Critic Score 47
    And levels that bit wider than the DS screen? Irritating and just plain rubbish, a bit like this game. [June 2006, p.79]
    • Metascore: 41
    • Critic Score 47
    The handling is awful, with cars skidding all over the shop as it's easy to oversteer. [Feb 2007, p.84]
    • Metascore: 54
    • Critic Score 47
    Dull, dumb predictable and annoying to play. Sorry, Scooby. [Christmas 2006, p.101]
    • Metascore: 50
    • Critic Score 47
    In an attempt to be a game for all, it turned into a game for no one. [Jan 2008, p.78]
    • Metascore: 58
    • Critic Score 47
    A horrendous collection you'll never want to revisit. [Jan 2008, p.78]
    • Metascore: 39
    • Critic Score 47
    Fun for young gamers but no real substance as a "real" racing game. [Aug 2008, p.83]
    • Metascore: 71
    • Critic Score 47
    The levels are colorful but dull, and after a mere five minutes a lurking sense of deja vu descends. Dead poor. [July 2008, p.82]
    • Metascore: 25
    • Critic Score 47
    AMY
    Everything good about Amy is undone by laborious puzzles and miserable controls. [March 2012, p.95]
    • Metascore: 66
    • Critic Score 46
    Ploddingly dull retro RPG. Half the 30 hours is backtracking. [June 2006, p.80]
    • Metascore: 42
    • Critic Score 46
    It's not really much of a game, unless you really like watching cut-scenes and fighting. [Jan 2007, p.65]
    • Metascore: tbd
    • Critic Score 46
    It technically functions as a shooter. But it needed to be a lot better to fits its gimmick. [Apr 2008, p.75]
    • Metascore: 60
    • Critic Score 46
    Passable as a single-player game but completely falls apart in co-op. Avoid. [Christmas 2008, p.64]
    • Metascore: 38
    • Critic Score 46
    We accept there's a place for this sort of thing, but it fails on the standard of its minigames. [June 2010, p.78]
    • Metascore: 53
    • Critic Score 45
    For a game featuring a carefree monkey, this is linear and boring. [Oct 2006, p.84]
    • Metascore: 47
    • Critic Score 45
    A one-trick pony, and that trick's been done better elsewhere. Giddy up and get outa here. [Oct 2008, p.78]
    • Metascore: 44
    • Critic Score 45
    Dodgy monster beat-'em-up that doesn't get anything right. [Mar 2008, p.79]
    • Metascore: 50
    • Critic Score 45
    We love original ideas, but there's no point in crazy innovation if you don't nail the basics. [Sept 2008, p.80]
    • Metascore: 58
    • Critic Score 45
    The kind of thing you'd regret downloading to your mobile. But more expensive. [June 2008, p.71]
    • Metascore: 53
    • Critic Score 45
    Zack and Wiki remain the only pirates worth dealing with on Wii. [Oct 2008, p.84]

    As far as bears go, this is Pooh. [Sept 2010, p.103]

    • Critic Score 45
    Creaky. [Oct 2010, p.75]
    • Metascore: 50
    • Critic Score 45
    Undeniably inventive ideas are spoiled by a steep learning curve, poor signposting and duff controls. [Issue#232, p.89]
    • Metascore: 36
    • Critic Score 45
    Tedious in a way we can barely describe, and almost broken in places. Don't buy this. [Sept 2006, p.76]
    • Metascore: 50
    • Critic Score 45
    Yoostar doesn't so much put you in the movies as put you next to a mangled clip of the movies. [June 2011, p.89]
    • Metascore: 45
    • Critic Score 45
    Limited promise is buried under an avalanche of technical failings in this derivative FPS. [Oct 2011, p.86]
    • Metascore: 68
    • Critic Score 45
    It's still just a bit too steep at 4.50 quid. [Christmas 2011, p.89]
    • Metascore: 59
    • Critic Score 45
    Less is more, even when girl-punching is involved. [Feb 2012, p.95]
    • Metascore: 58
    • Critic Score 45
    Nothing more than Bland Bland Racing. [Sept 2012, p.101]
