    If you like challenges and are a masochist, this game is for you. Very well designed, but I haven't put a lot of time into it due to the fact that its insanely difficult.

    This game is one tough game to beat. So don't buy this game if you get frustrated when you lose. This game is for pros. One thing why this game is for pros is because you have to look up and down most of the time. Then there are also lots of enemies and hard places to pass. If you played the older version of fractured soul you can see that the 3ds version is redesigned and looks better.This game is one tough game to beat.

This new version has some new features through. One new feature is the leaderboards. This is to show how fast they can beat this selected level. Also, if you want some more challenge, try the bonus levels. You can get them by getting lots of stars. Getting a 5 star is really tough. It's even more harder than playing the game without it! There are only 3 bosses in this game. If you want a challenge then this is a game you should play.… Expand

    This is not an easy walk through game, I died over 500 times in my play through of the 25 levels. It's an interesting idea flicking between the 2 screens and at times my thumbs were in knots trying to keep up.
    The controls are a fairly basic combination of run, jump and shoot and with no power ups to be found and the way through it can get a bit samey.

    This game was one of my favorite games on the 3ds. The unique dimension shifting makes the game fresh. the levels are hard, especially trying to 100% the game. It's very well designed and is worth the $12

    Fractured Soul is a quite clever 2D platformer, but there are too many instant death moments with no nearby checkpoints. [May 2013]

    Its turnaround of ideas eventually won us round. [Apr 2013, p.83]

    Among the toughest games on the console and none the worse for it. Want to hear what your own screams sound like? You won't find better on the 3DS.
