The editors didn't like
Using the gamepad is better than the Wiimote
Some of the more modern graphic effects can overpower the rest of the game

Addictive, easy gameplay; DS connection bonuses.
Requires a classic controller or two; multiplayer is too chaotic; graphics too bright, not crisp enough; slowdown.
