    With a multiplayer option – which would alleviate the unpredictability of your companion when playing single player – and plenty of collectibles as well as stacks of puzzles, The Eternity Clock has a lot to offer but there are just too many frustrations to wholly recommend this.

    Witty dialogue, terrific voice acting and great music. Shame about the actual game. [August 2012, p.69]

    Doctor Who fans will get a lot out of the story and excellent voice acting and motion capture, but only gamers with a high tolerance for frustration will find the fun buried in this one.

The game, particularly on PS3,Having played the game on both PlayStation 3, and PC, I can say that this is definitely the inferior version. The game, particularly on PS3, was rushed and many of the great parts of this game do not make up for the flaws of this game as well. I do, however, give it a 7/10 because I immensely enjoyed the game as a Doctor Who fan.
