Create unique creatures from dozens of body parts and send them on a quest to do battle with other monsters.

It's like Pokemon crossed with Lego, and sounds ideal for boys of around seven to 10.

But they'll probably already own a couple of Pokemon games, and within an hour will be back playing them.

Despite the 3D visuals this is simply not a contender - it's plagued with frustrating fighting, fiddly controls and a boring storyline.
