    With more than a nod to Trials in TerRover's DNA, the more patient among you will lap up TerRover and all of its wilful insanity.

The controls are playful and fun. The gameplay is all about squeezing your rover through caves and overcoming obstacles and baddies. The levels are very colorful and thought out. The concept is simple but the gameplay physics are challenging as you squeeze every last bit of momentum. IF you get frustrated and bash the controls, the rover tweaks out and make squeaky noises. The sound design is amazing!! I can't help but think that negative reviewers didn't spend 5 minutes to get familiar with how the rover is controlled. Its really not confusing at all. I found the game cute, funny, challenging breath of fresh air in a landscape of games that are only hack n slash or are too easy. Get this if you like platforming, Loco Roco, or just a new experience. There is nothing wrong with this game.… Full Review »

Work out how to use the weight of the rover and gentle application of acceleration and properly timed jumps... unlike the big website reviewers, who obviously havent bothered to do this. the controls require subtlety, and in mastering them and overcoming what initially seems impossible with ease and finesse, lies the joy of the game. i am pretty sad for the developers who have poured a lot of love into terrover, to have it so quickly discarded and rated so poorly by people who should know better.

    in fact, it seems like it has been dropped from the uk ps store new lists, only to be found deep in the menus, and no mention of it on creat's front page. i really hope that proper gamers pick up on the appeal of this game, spend some time learning to DRIVE it, and love it for its impeccable mechanics as well as the visuals.

    funnily enough i feel as if after playing it i could be pretty good at real 4x4 offroading, thats the sort of skillset practice with it awards you.

    probably my favourite ps3 download so far, alongside the pixel junk series. defo ten out of ten, but only now i can appreciate it with my terrover driving abilities honed. very very rewarding.    … Full Review »

The physics behind it are spot on. i love how in different worlds the change the gravity so your jumps perform differently. once you spend about an hour honing your skills, this game will be your first pick for months to come! just BE PATIENT! There are all kinds of things you can do with your mini tank when your good enough. it NEVER gets old!. BRING MORE MAPS AND OBSTACLES!!!!… Full Review »
