  1. All in all, Prism: Light the Way provides a large amount of entertainment in a simple and easy to pick up package.

    Truly brilliant. [Sept 2007, p.88]
  3. But for those looking for a puzzle game that’s a bit off the beaten path, and that isn’t simply another Tetris or Bejeweled clone, it fits the bill perfectly. Don’t let this hidden gem pass you by.

    Fiendishly hard and rewarding in equal measure. [Dec 2007, p.56]

    A clever, original and sweet puzzler that stands out, even on DS. [Dec 2007, p.85]
  6. Prism makes good use of the DS's stylus. It's used to move around the various mirrors, splitters, and prisms, as well as the Glowbow light sources. All commands are solid and inspire confidence.

    Prism is unfortunately 10 bucks too much for a must-buy puzzler at its $30 price point, but it's an addiction that's totally worth tracking down if the concept piques your interest and you're looking for a challenge.
  8. Prism is certainly different than other puzzle games out there, which is nice to see considering all of the cloning that goes on in the genre. However, Prism just seems to be missing that indescribable something that makes a puzzle game addicting.
  9. A nifty little title. It's light, fun, but it's more a diversion than a primary game. However, if a puzzle fix is needed in short bursts here and there, it's hard to go wrong with Prism.

    This game is a test of logic, pushing players to figure out how to channel beams of light to specific targets. [Dec 2007, p.157]

    This is a breath of fresh air for the puzz crowd! I played this all day and was completely addicted. Starts getting mindbending around the This is a breath of fresh air for the puzz crowd! I played this all day and was completely addicted. Starts getting mindbending around the 3rd world. This game should have been titled "illuminatinglobos".working with light, prisims, and mirror placement to get the right color light spectrum to illuminate the little light starved globos is totally original and fun in my book. Dont let the colorful cutesy box art throw you off of this mindbending classic puzzler. thinking man type game will have you stumped.The other gem from secret stash is "nervous brickdown". this is what I like to see. games that are fresh and original. kudos for eidos!
