    While this may be short, it is great fun.

    It's impossible not to have a good time with this game unless you're just into NASCAR or blasting people's heads off.

    While this clever European import proves there are still fresh and innovative concepts for PC gamers, the fun is over too quickly. A skilled player will be able to complete all 14 episodes in about two or three hours.
  5. GameSpy

    It's everything reality television should be -- cruel, funny and heartless -- but it's over all too quickly.
  6. Adrenaline Vault
    70
    Despite its brevity and sadistic humor, you receive an odd sense of satisfaction when your pranks work. Although hardcore gamers might find this title a bit beneath their level of sophistication, most who enjoy electronic recreation will find this release quite fulfilling.

    Brevity is the main drawback here: you can beat the whole game in just a few hours. But it's funny while it lasts. [Nov 2003, p.126]

    Ever played "Secret Of Monkey Island," "Day Of The Tentacle," "Full Throttle" or "Sam And Max Hit The Road"? Then you’ll love Neighbours From Hell.
  9. Computer Gaming World

    It's a bit repetitive, and it should be about four times longer—an experienced prankster can finish it in a single afternoon. Other than that, this one is a keeper.
  10. IGN
    70
    An amusing puzzle game with some interesting twists. It's not very long and it's not very difficult, but it is charming and addictively entertaining.
  11. GameZone
    70
    Easy to get started and few commands required to play the game. Unfortunately you repeatedly play some of the same pranks over and over, but still quite entertaining.
  12. GameSpot

    Neighbors From Hell's simple gameplay mechanics and quirky theme make it a fun, albeit easy and short, strategy game reminiscent of the classic '80s computer game "Spy vs. Spy."
  13. Game Chronicles
    63
    The combination of puzzle-solving and strategy works well, but there simply are not enough episodes and environmental variations to keep the player engaged for more than 5 hours at the maximum.
  14. Computer Games Magazine
    60
    Surprisingly well made and entertaining. [Jan 2004, p.76]

    Excruciating brevity is Neighbours From Hell's most hideous drawback, and we can't imagine you sat there a week from purchase playing the same levels over and over. There's a disturbing lack of variety as well.
  16. G4 TV
    40
    Its galling brevity combined with the inability to actually watch many of your tricky labors make it a one-shot deal at best, with little replay value -- except perhaps in real life.
