    But overall the game performs on the PS3 without much issue. It's not the best looking game on the market, but I enjoyed the brightly hued color of the stages, despite some of the more repetitious environments that divide the rooms.

    Too easy for older gamers, and a little over the heads of younger gamers, Quantum Conundrum finds itself in a sort of purgatory between the two, and like a younger brother it can't help but live in the shadow of its older sibling's success.

And when they are accompanied by beautiful graphics and great voice overs I really enjoyed the game as a whole but there are some problems Firstly while the graphics are good and crisp it does have some texture pop-in during the beginning or end of each level. along with the big doors taking 15 seconds to open there are some impediments to the pace of the game Second of all I would say that the game should have had more levels as I only felt interested in the game in 1 play through.

    Lastly I believe most of the puzzles are WAY too easy and makes the game less enjoyable overall. however I do love the game in spite of the multiple flaws I'm giving the game a 7/10    … Full Review »

Platforming is way tooThis game may seem very similar to Portal, but has new game-play skills and other cool things that set it apart. Platforming is way too floaty, which makes it much harder in levels that involve platforming, but that does not make it a bad game, for it is still a great game. The ability to change between 4(5 counting your own) dimensions is a genius idea, and is only a bit similar to Portal, because it involves physics. It is funny mostly, but at times the humor is off. However, this is an excellent game, and you should buy it if you are a fan of hard puzzles, intriguing characters, and physics. Fans of Portal will be delighted.… Full Review »

You alternate betweenThis is a really funny game and a strong bet for any Portal fans. This is first person, physics based puzzle game. You alternate between dimensions to trigger switches and buttons to finish the stage. There are some plataforming elements, such as jumping between points, and in my opnion the game fails on this point - I find the jump button rather unresponsive. The puzzles are very clever and the difficulty is just fine. Art is beautiful and narrative keeps you motivated to continue, also being funny and getting some laughs out of you. The game somewhat stutter on textures between stages, but fortunately it disappears quickly and doesn't really happen on crucial moments, such as during a puzzle. There is some replay value to get the fastest time and fewest moves, if you are into that kind of thing (I, myselft, dislike it). It deserves a strong 8 for its current price.… Full Review »
