Critic Score 32
Do you pine for a game where it takes the best part of an afternoon to kill an enemy? Then this is the uninspired film tie-in for you! [July 2011, p.64]Posted Jul 6, 2011 -
-

Critic Score 59
Basic, derivative, monotonous; but dressed up with some stylish visuals and the odd good bit, TMNT is impossible to entirely dislike, but equally impossible to recommend. [June 2007, p.57] -

Critic Score 30
If you like paintball, book a session of the real thing. [Christmas 2009, p.69] -

Critic Score 31
An overpriced puzzler that presents you with the bare bones of a game. [June 2012, p.106]Posted May 26, 2012 -

Critic Score 16
You'd have more fun if you asked a professional wrestler to try to transform your skeleton into the shape of a moped. [Aug 2010, p.68] -
-
-
Critic Score 63
The action's limited but still amusing, and the music is truly late '60s fabulous. [Sept 2008, p.71] -
-
-
Critic Score 20
It's bewildering as to why this is even a launch game, let alone how anyone thought it would be fun to <I>not</I> drive a car round a crappy looking track with a broken plastic steering wheel. [January 2007, p.54] -
-
-
Critic Score 30
This is such a technical and conceptual mess that EA wouldn't send us a copy - we had to go out and buy it. [Christmas 2010, p.53]Posted Feb 6, 2011 -
-
-
Critic Score 24
This is a dodgy game, even as fishing titles go, and really not worth the effort. [Dec 2007, p.70] -
-
-
Critic Score 50
Definitely not the most offensive game on the shelf for Wii, but not the most enjoyable either. Without multiplayer functionality, life on the water is a rather lonely one. [Feb 2007, p.72] -
-
-
Critic Score 11
The Wii does shovelware better than anyone, but it's really hit a new low with 101-in-1 Sports. [Jan 2011, p.69]Posted Mar 8, 2011 -
-
-
Critic Score 25
Basically, you're fighting suicidal ghosts in a well-lit house. Worst sales pitch ever. [Mar 2011, p.72]Posted Mar 17, 2011 -
-
-
-
Critic Score 20
Treacle-slow gameplay and, unless you love generic sci-fi future visions, very little incentive to soldier on. [Sept 2008, p.67] -
-
-
Critic Score 47
Tables are too squished on the DS screen, making the balls seem massive, but using the stylus to direct the cue and set power is pretty effective. [Apr 2007, p.70] -
-
-
Critic Score 10
I crushed the cart under the wheels of my office chair and chucked the pieces in the bin. [Jan 2009, p.77] -

Critic Score 40
Even die-hard Twilight fans (Twi-hards?) are going to feel a bit short-changed by this. [Apr 2010, p.70] -
-
-
Critic Score 15
At 20 quid for five distractions that might keep you busy for 30 seconds, it's overpriced. [Apr 2007, p.60] -

Critic Score 35
Experimental racing concepts should be tested in the developers' studios, not on shop shelves. [Sept 2008, p.54] -

Critic Score 15
At 20 quid for five distractions that might keep you busy for 30 seconds, it's overpriced.[Apr 2007, p.60] -

Critic Score 15
This miserably commercial effort - well, it's just depressing, and the only positive thing we've got to say about it is thank god it's unlikely ever to be released in this country. [July 2010, p.60] -
-
-
Critic Score 57
Truly scary and, for fans of the films, probably worth experiencing, but this is frustrating and clumsy to actually play. [Dec 2009, p.62] -
-
-
Critic Score 49
This brawler is a step down from the first Panda game - and with barely any drawing elements, it's stupid that uDraw is mandatory. [Aug 2011, p.72]Posted Aug 1, 2011 -

Critic Score 35
There's less meat on this than a turkey carcass after Boxing Day. [Feb 2009, p.68] -
-
-
Critic Score 36
Instead of giving you the game disc, the sales assistant could open the box and curl out a steaming log in there, and you'd have almost as much fun playing with it. [Dec 2008, p.56] -
-
-
Critic Score 39
This is more obscure torture device than game. [Oct 2010, p.60] -
-
-
Critic Score 48
A pale imitation of a far more ambitious game, Alone in the Dark on Wii is too higgledy-piggledy to satisfy. A handful of terrific highs can't make up for hours of lows. [Sept 2008, p.58] -
-
-
Critic Score 10
A collection of rubbish puzzles that will surely train your brain not to let your wallet waste 20 pounds on this sort of crap in the future. You have been warned. [Aug 2007, p.67] -
-
-
Critic Score 25
Surgically extracts everything that makes the anime fun, leaving a lumpen brown mess. [Jan 2011, p.66]Posted Mar 8, 2011 -
-
-
Critic Score 44
At one point, we actually thought we were going to cry. [July 2008, p.73] -
-
-
Critic Score 23
Turns your living room into some kind of talent vacuum. This waste of development time makes three strong brands - Wii, Far Cry, and Ubisoft - look woefully incompetent. [Mar 2007, p.54] -
-
-
-

Critic Score 33
This strives for nothing and doesn't even make it that far. A poor game for a poor franchise. [JPN Import; Aug 2007, p.54] -
-
-
Critic Score 47
Not actually broken in any way, it's just an oddly vacuous and simplistic take on the poisoned ground previously laid down by Hudson. [Nov 2006, p.69] -
-
-
Critic Score 34
So inaccessible, they might as well padlock the game box. [July 2008, p.72] -

Critic Score 62
There's no logic to any of the celebrity characters apart from having a cheap laugh at people currently in the public eye. Jack Black? Schwarzenegger? Why not jam Mika or Gail Trimble in there? -
-
-
Critic Score 48
We applaud the return to nature, but outside of a few icky moments there really is nothing to recommend Necro-Nesia. Go throw a spider at someone; it's a whole lot more fun. [JPN Import; Mar 2007, p.52] -
-
-
Critic Score 45
Cuteness doesn't make up for the lack of an enjoyable game - we hope this only serves a short term in office. [JPN Import; Mar 2007, p.60] -
-
-
Critic Score 40
It might be simple, repetitive and nowhere near worth the asking price, but Urban Champion is a pleasant enough retro diversion for half an hour or so. [Oct 2011, p.76]Posted Sep 28, 2011 -

Critic Score 47
With a few more months' development this might have come good. But in this state not even Professor Xavier could convince us to play it again.- Posted Oct 31, 2011

You just mash buttons and move on. Dire. [Jan 2010, p.74] -

The whole game looks like it was hastily moulded out of plasticine. [Sept 2007, p.70] -

Critic Score 12
Random and mindless, you'd be much better off diving head first onto a rusty nail bed than enduring five minutes of this tedium. [Mar 2007, p.81] -

Critic Score 55
It's harmless, but hardly worth bothering with. [May 2008, p.74] -

Critic Score 65
Jumping, fighting and puzzling for young fans of the movie. Most of it is incredibly easy but there's the odd bit of confusion to slow progress. -

A horrendous mess of a game, horrible to play in every way, short of severing your hands at the wrists and squirting lemon on the stumps. [Mar 2007, p.70] -

We HATE this game. [Aug 2011, p.67]Posted Aug 1, 2011 -

Critic Score 24
The stylus controls are unresponsive, the graphics are uninspiring, the story is inconsequential, the tasks are repetitive and the music's appalling. [Nov 2009, p.72] -
-
-
Critic Score 20
The mini missions are klunky beyond belief with extremely shoddy animation, and they almost always have to be completed in a stupidly short length of time for enjoyment - and that's it. Ideal for morons with low expectations. [Feb 2007, p.82] -
-
-

Critic Score 33
Some environments are so indistinct it's easier to navigate solely with the top screen's map than by looking where you're going. [Issue#56, p.70]Posted Dec 25, 2010 -

Why stick just one rubbish, bad-looking board game adaptation onto a DS cart when you can do four? [Mar 2008, p.70] -

The lanes are nice and shiny, but "Wii Sports" is still our top banana for Wii Bowling. [June 2008, p.71] -

Critic Score 14
An utterly terrible shooter which will, if nothing else, satisfy your recommended daily allowance of mirth...and pvc hotpants. [July 2008, p.68] -
-
-
Critic Score 19
Ugly, repetitive and a waste of the license. It's not quite "Balls of Fury" bad, but getting there. Punch-drunk and pointless. [Feb 2008, p.64] -

Unresponsive to the point of irresponsibility. [Aug 2011, p.79]Posted Aug 1, 2011 -

There's only one word for this experience: wooden. [Feb 2008, p.51] -

Imagine "Ninjabread Man" with all the cakes taken out and replaced by musical stuff. Congratulations - you've just invented Rock 'N Roll Adventures! [Christmas 2007, p.65] -
-
-
Critic Score 67
Inoffensive, with samey levels and enemies, and unchallenging boss fights. [May 2008, p.75] -

Critic Score 28
The gameplay lands with a thud on the "it's just cheap" side of the fence. [Dec 2009, p.71] -

The target game in Wii Play is miles better and more challenging. [Oct 2007, p.69] -

The only people who'll be able to get through this game are those who already know how to tell the difference between C and F. [Jan 2008, p.65] -

It's astonishing that anyone would try and sell this as a complete game. Piffle ball more like. [Apr 2007, p.71] -

Critic Score 35
Very basic platform game with a promising lead character. Not actually awful but it's overpriced at 20 pounds and a little frustrating for younger players. [Christmas 2007, p.65] -

This is the kind of beast your mum wold describe to get you back in the house before curfew. [Oct 2007, p.77] -

Ancient Egypt in glorious clunk-o-vision. If you like "Ninjabread Man" and "Rock'N Roll Adventures," you'll love this, but seriously, what are the chances? [Christmas 2007, p.65] -
-
-
Critic Score 10
A shrine to gaming incompetence. Arriving in the same month as "Galaxy" it's gotta take some balls to release something as totally inept as this and expect people to play it. [Christmas 2007, p.64] -

There's more fun to be had in reading instruction manuals for toasters. [Oct 2008, p.75] -
