Ultimate I-Spy (Wii)

REVIEW BY ROSS HAWKES: Once the domain of children stuck in the back of the car in a Bank Holiday traffic jam, classic boredom killer I-Spy is now available to play in the comfort of your home.

And that’s where the problem lies with this title. Why would you want to play I-Spy in your own home?

There’s nothing particularly offensive about this title, but it doesn’t have the power to make you want to pull it out of the pile of games sitting in front of your console.

The premise of the game is mainly to find hidden objects and solve puzzles and there are some nice little twists and interactive bits and pieces – such as flying rockets – to try and entice you to keep playing.

But like watching a wildlife documentary on TV, you can’t help feeling that as interesting as it is, there might just be something a little bit more exciting on offer elsewhere.

Multiplayer offers a bit of an extension to the fun with a variety of mini-games to tackle and there’s some nice 360-degree puzzles to tackle too.

For the right price it’ll make a nice addition to your gaming collection, but it’s not something that most Wii gamers will be rushing out to purchase.
