    If you are a fan of platformers, and want to experience it with a drilling machine, this unique game will please 2D fans. Just expect to be let down in the replay value and sound department.

    It's like being equipped with a six-shooter and only being allowed to pistol whip the bad guys.

    It's a peculiar idea to grasp, but it's impossible to argue with how successfully Game Freak has taken one simple design decision and made it integral to movement, combat and puzzle solving. [Mar 2006, p.95]

    With around 18 levels, Screwbreaker won't present the greatest of challenges to platform junkies, but it is thoroughly entertaining while it lasts. [JPN Import]

    The gameplay's solid, but the story's disposable, the music's forgettable, and everything is just a bit too easy.

    It's an enjoyable game that I'm glad that I own, but it didn't impress me enough that I felt the need to gush all over it. But kudos to Game Freak for coming up with something fresh in the platform genre, as simply conking bad guys on the head was getting tired.

    Cute platform-based arcade adventure that puts you in charge of a driller suit that's not a million miles away from the Big Daddies of BioCute platform-based arcade adventure that puts you in charge of a driller suit that's not a million miles away from the Big Daddies of Bio Shock. Not in the same league as the Metroid or Castlevania games, but if you're looking for something a little lighter this would fit the bill.… Full Review »
