    From the very first level, one can tell this is not a simple shoot-em-up or puzzle game. This is a fully functional and in-depth stealth game with gadgets and accessories seamlessly integrated into the user interface. Now, these gadgets aren't realistic, they're actually mini-games, but it's still fun. The music is catchy during the action sequences and moody during the sneaking missions.

    Overall, Cory In The House for the Nintendo DS is a great, but short, game that is now among my all-time favorites.    … Expand

I stared entranced, soaking in Disney Interactive's new material, chiseling each gameplay moment into the best functioning parts of my brain which would be the only platform for the material for months.

    This is an emotional, psychological experience. Cory in the House plays like a clouded brain trying to recall an alien abduction. It's the sound of a development studio, and its leader, losing faith in themselves, destroying themselves, and subsequently rebuilding a perfect entity. In other words, Disney Interactive hated being Disney Interactive, but ended up with the most ideal, natural licensed game yet.

    The experience and emotions tied to playing Cory in the House are like witnessing the stillborn birth of a child while simultaneously having the opportunity to see her play in the afterlife on Imax. It's a game of sparking paradox. It's cacophonous yet tranquil, experimental yet familiar, foreign yet womb-like, spacious yet visceral, textured yet vaporous, awakening yet dreamlike, infinite yet two hours long. It will cleanse your brain of those little crustaceans of worries and inferior games clinging inside the fold of your gray matter. The harrowing sounds hit from unseen angles and emanate with inhuman genesis. When the headphones peel off, and it occurs that six men created this, it's clear that Disney Interactive must be the greatest developer alive, if not the best since you know who. Breathing people made this game! And you can't wait to dive back in and try to prove that wrong over and over.    … Expand

    This is the top rated Nintendo DS game of all time, and it deserves it. I thought it was a joke at first, but when I gave it a try these reviews weren't kidding. Talk about unexpected!

    This game absolutely blew me away. I was not expecting such a gem from what looked like a very lackluster title. I recommend everyone with a DS to go out bargain bin hunting.

    This game is truly amazing and for a game based on a mediocre television series, it is a wonderful, addicting game with very difficult yet fun puzzles, funny dialogue, and amazing replay-ability with the ability to be different characters and play through different diverse scenarios. I recommend this game to anyone, whether you are a CiTH fan or not

    I sold The Witcher 3 to buy this game. I think that gives you an idea of how good this game is. I just want to keep playing this gem but I need to write a 150 characters review.

Existentialism, social class, politics, and other abstract concepts that cannot be adequately described in the English vocabulary are addressed wonderfully in the game's revolutionary story line, with questions like "Why is Cory in the House?" and "What does it mean to be busta?" The graphics are unlike anything humanity has ever seen. The screenshots do not do Cory in the House's visuals justice; viewing them in motion will guarantee that your retinas experience nirvana. Sound-wise, Cory's tunes outclass any musical composition humankind has ever created. Beethoven's 9th and Sgt. Pepper don't compete to the dulcet, harmonious gift that Cory will grace your ears; he is certainly no busta. The gameplay incorporates and perfects every element that so-called "masterpieces" have come just short of mastering. Cory in the House is simply flawless. Buy Cory in the House. Don't be a busta. Being a busta is bad. I should know. The game told me so.… Expand

Disney crafts a picture that tells a simple, subtle story that works brilliantly in capturing your attention from the first menu onwards. The cast do an immaculate job in their performances and each actor brings something unique to the screen to really make this game standout among other classics. The direction is terrific and they are able to craft a story that uses basic elements to create something truly remarkable with this game. Cory also stars in the film as the lead character, Cory who is a powerful beautiful young boy in the white house. Cory is superb in the part, and his work behind the camera is immaculate, fluent and brings the viewer into a truly special experience. The game is a must play due to its significance to the video game medium. Cory in the House is a game that has stood the test of time, and yet again proves that the best games are the ones that tell a good story that is simple, yet well told and elevated by a talented cast that add so much to the game to make it a truly outstanding piece of media. Video game fans owe it to themselves to check this treasure and Cory is a wonderful actor that has crafted an excellent, engaging and memorable game that you soon won't forget. The game is flawless and it has stood out among other classics. With that being said, is this my favorite of modern games? It isn't, but it definitely is among the finest pieces of work of this era and any era for that matter. I'd have to say that Imagine: Party Babyz is my favorite, with Cory in the House a close second. Either way, this is a sweeping masterpiece of art, one that has stood out and lives on through each decade as an exemplary game that each new player can take something out from the game. Cory in the House is a flawless picture that has its place secured in video game history.… Expand

Cory in the House was just infront of me, i was going to pass it up but it was 99 cent. i took the game to the desk and payed for it, the cashier said with a smile "Cory in the House? oh you're going to love this" and i didn't doubt him at all.

    When i came home i cleared the dust of my DS and sat it in, when i saw the disney logo i felt loved. i sat for a good 3 hours before i needed a break from gods blessing, it was like an angel had delivered the baby jesus to earth, exept that it was a game inside a cover. The cutscenes where amazing, it even has a laugh track. the mini games were fun and the graphics amazing, this is truly an instant classic, a Battle Toads of our generation, amazing writing, glorious graphics and bar raising gameplay. 10/10    … Expand

With a perfect execution of gameplay elements, top-notch graphics that are powered by a great engine, this game sets to be the revolutionary point in the video game history. Without a doubt, this is the title of the century.
