    You're better off buying the PC version honestly, the ps3 version's controls are hard to get used to. Although I would rate the PC game a ten out of ten, I'm not feelin' what 505 games did to the console port. If you can't get terraria on the computer, then this will do as a close second.

If you're a PC terraria fan, there are annoying differences that take a while to get used to and do nothing to improve the game. (ie: lots and lots of menus as opposed to the single inventory +crafting screen) I haven't gotten to the new end content yet, so I can't judge that, but it's hard to go from terraria on PC which is so perfectly designed, to terraria on ps3 which is very awkward feeling.… Expand

    I love this game. Spent dozens of hours on it already. I had not heard of it until coming by it on the psn store. Its very much like an epic NES game. The worlds are HUGE and there are tons of stuff to find and experiment with. Sort of has a Rygar/Kid Chameleon meets Minecraft vibe to it. Be warned though, if you plan on playing this with a buddy online, it has some major connection issuesI love this game. Spent dozens of hours on it already.

    Sure I love this game, I got it on steam also and now they made it for ps3 aswell but I got to say that the controlls are TERRIBLE! It's a pain in the ass to try to place a box in a speciall place even if you aim at it the box just wont fit... unless I just and press the button in just when i'm about to hit the ground.
    Everythings good but the controlls!

    This game initially sucked me and my cousin in with its constructive and role playing elements but soon became quite stale. Here are some of the things that bug me:

    This game is really buggy and the devs are doing nothing to fix it. Online multiplayer does not work. You can never build anything because there are always mobs attacking. Everything is generated and looks the same. Not    This game initially sucked me and my cousin in with its constructive and role playing elements but soon became quite stale.

    Online multiplayer does not work.

    Everything is generated and looks the same.
    Not that many blocks or character customization.
    Very bad camera, hurts my eyes and sometimes randomly zooms in/out in splitscreen.
    Hardmode bosses are not hard but impossible! Even with the best gear, potions, tactics, and friends you will never kill them and get cooler gear.
    Console version addons are nothing special.
    Hard to play with PS3 controllers (you can tell that this was a pc port).    … Expand

    Bad controls but better than mobile. If you have a pc use that instead. It's not a bad game, as well as slightly addictive and extremely fun to play once you get the hang of it, but if you have an old controller then give it a pass. It also does take about as much time to get the best experience from it as an average skyrim playthrough.

    All this digging can be frustrating until you have mastered the right technique. Once you do, you will be hooked for a long time. Exploring a surprisingly large system of caverns underneath the surface of this colourful world, searching for that precious gold nugget. [June 2013, p.94]

    A lot of games tried to copy Minecraft – or at least participate from its' success. But this two-dimensional take on the well known formula is the only game that is able to step out of the shadow of the indie phenomenon that inspired it. It leads you into a unique world full of creative magic and translates well onto consoles thanks to the very good pad controls.
