So many titles been merely mediocre or just plain crap, often barely connected to the TV series and pumped out by publishers keen to cash in on the brand with minimal effort.

title clamps

Considering the PC outing you can download for free from the BBC was created by Sheffield's Sumo Digital (Known as "The best studio in Britain that no-one knows about") with Charles Cecil at the helm, it's unsurprising you'd recommend that over this ;)

  They should be ashamed.
  
  I don't know how they have the nerve to charge £35 for this.
  
  The graphics on the BBC's free adventures are better than this.

Mini-games?

Adventure Game 4

@Grease Monkey The fourth (and final of the current series) downloadable Doctor Who Adventure Game is due to be published on Christmas Day 2010. A second series of them is planned for next year.

As for Return to Earth, I've not gotten around to playing it yet but I did quite enjoy their DS game Doctor Who: Evacuation Earth. Most people seem to claim it is vastly superior to this Wii game.
