    • Metascore: 50
    • Critic Score 49
    Technically polished and full of character, but as a game it's horribly frustrating. [Christmas 2006, p.70]
    • Metascore: 38
    • Critic Score 49
    Proof that the best idea ever on paper translates into B-grade mush. A stinker. [Sept 2007, p.73]
    • Metascore: 54
    • Critic Score 49

    • Metascore: tbd
    • Critic Score 49
    Not a nightmare, but you'll be wistfully wishing for more excitement. [Sept 2008, p.84]
    • Metascore: tbd
    • Critic Score 49
    In a crowded genre filled with great titles, this is so far off road that it's in a ditch. [Feb 2009, p.78]
    • Metascore: 49
    • Critic Score 49

    A repetitive load of rot. [Apr 2009, p.80]
    • Metascore: 50
    • Critic Score 49
    Go and see the movie instead - it's cheaper, it stars Ricky Gervais and they serve popcorn. [July 2009, p.82]

    • Metascore: 67
    • Critic Score 49
    Even if the Elder Scrolls cold turkey is hurting bad, buying this would still be a daft decision. [Mar 2011, p.92]
    • Metascore: 68
    • Critic Score 49
    It's incapable of holding your attention for long enough to warrant a high review score. [Feb 2011, p.91]
    • Metascore: 54
    • Critic Score 49
    It's not awful just basic to the point of tedium. [Aug 2012, p.84]
    • Metascore: 55
    • Critic Score 49
    The simplicity of the web game is lost in this flabby, oversized spin-off. [Nov 2012, p.85]
    • Metascore: 57
    • Critic Score 49
    Stylish visuals can't save this from being a repetitive and uninspiring experience. [May 2013, p.81]

    • Critic Score 48
    Passes the time of day in multi-player but single player is slow and dull. [Christmas 2006, p.101]
    • Metascore: 56
    • Critic Score 48
    A 14-game collection that inspires only fleeting nostalgia. [Christmas 2006, p.101]
    • Metascore: 59
    • Critic Score 48
    A child safe damp squib of a game that has none of the edge of the cartoon. [Aug 2007, p.73]
    • Metascore: 37
    • Critic Score 48
    A joyless mess that would have looked dated five years ago. In 2007 there's no excuse. [Sept 2007, p.82]
    • Metascore: 56
    • Critic Score 48
    A minigame compilation that lacks any real charm, and simply isn't enough fun. [Jan 2007, p.69]
    • Metascore: 32
    • Critic Score 48
    A first stepping stone to RPGs but this will be too basic for most. [Oct 2007, p.85]
    • Metascore: 68
    • Critic Score 48
    Unfriendly and dull. If Advance Wars had an evil twin, it would probably look like this. [May 2009, p.71]
    • Metascore: 46
    • Critic Score 48

    • Metascore: 53
    • Critic Score 48
    A surprisingly empty game lacking structure or purpose. [Feb 2012, p.93]
    • Metascore: 54
    • Critic Score 48
    The only good thing here is the endless retro mode - a fleeting thrill only. [Feb 2012, p.101]
    • Metascore: 57
    • Critic Score 48
    Pitch-perfect nostalgia spoiled by borderline unplayable matches. [Apr 2012, p.92]
    • Metascore: 45
    • Critic Score 48
    If (only) the stylus recognition worked. [Oct 2012, p.89]
    • Metascore: 44
    • Critic Score 48
    Fiddly controls make this apparently futuristic accelerometer abuser a complete waste of space. [Feb 2013, p.87]
