  1. Its limitations still show, but with a longer, funnier, and even wackier story, Time Gentlemen, Please! is an admirable follow-up to its freeware predecessor and well worth the small fee for people who've played the first game.
  2. The final product put together by the folks at Zombie Cow Studios is the definition of a game that's greater than the sum of its parts. Pick it apart and you have subpar graphics and minimal sound. Put it together and you have something completely different: a charming, fun, and comical adventure wrapped with loads of nostalgia that was obviously created by a team with a passion for what they do.
  3. Retro-styled adventure games are a spectacularly lonely niche and Time Gentlemen, Please offers a modernised variation of everything you adored about the point-and-click dynasty once dominated by the likes of Time Schafer.
  4. Past the wordy stuff, the way the game is presented is second to none - there's a mix of animation and drawing styles in the cut-scenes and credits that evokes old-school LucasArts, and the in-game animation/design is kooky and amusing but rarely disturbing.

    This is a good time for adventure games and there are superior examples out there, but none more loveable than Time Gentlemen, Please! [Oct 2009, p.123]
  6. This game is sure to delight some old-school gamers out there.
  7. TGP! is an improved LSD trip through the same cracked territory, but with a longer, better story and overall craftier puzzle design.

    Amusing adventure game comes with keen humor; witty dialogues and a sea of absurdity. Not one classic adventure game can be safe from the sharp-tongued couple of heroes. [Oct 2009]
  9. Time Gentlemen, Please! has some memorable dialogues, a dark humor and some nice puzzles. For about 4 euros It's a crime not to buy It.

    Funnier than any game in years, and delightfully rude. Point-and-click adventuring done right for a change. [Sept 2009, p.74]

    It's one of the most outrageous games I've ever played and for that alone I love it. [Oct 2009, p.67]

    Let us remind you of the prince of this gem: 2.99 quid. Buy it, you tight wad. [Issue#25, p.57]
