    A great game, but with its insanely short play time, lack of anything extra, and almost zilch replay value, you'll be hard pressed to buy this one right away.

    While it’s possible the casual gamer may be enchanted by the presentation, Panic’s high difficulty level will delight only hardcore players.

    Great concept, graphics, music, and controls are important characteristics of a great product; but so is gameplay, and in this department Stretch Panic is lacking.

    It’s the perfect cross-breeding of "Super Mario Brothers" and "Hooters!"

    Here is proof that originality alone is not a basis for a fun game.

    The novelty of the idea soon gives way to awkward controlling and discombobulating camera angles, resulting in an experience sometimes more frustrating than fun.

    Control is atrocious, characters extremely odd and unappealing IMHO (your mileage may vary on this one), rewards for your trouble very minimal, graphics/sounds very underwhelming.

A fun, irreverant game. It's got a lot of cheeky play. If you have the same attitude you will like it. Stylized graphics make it look whimsical and always modern. Worth a try if you like unique, oddball games w/ lots of personality. A very casual game for cool people.… Expand
