    Overpriced , Generic , Reptitive and boring. These are the words to describe this game, You are better off spending your money on other quality games available on PSN.

    Some great ideas implemented really reall well. It's just a shame that this game remains a bit of a short one trick pony, but what a very stylish pony it is!

    Not as good as they say. I bought this game a while ago when there was no demo for it only because I read some good reviews. after playing for about 4 levels I started to feel tired of the gameplay, it has a great story though I really liked the storytelling narrated like in a book and the characters are interesting too but the game felt like a chore after a while.

    Only on Playstation: Too much hype and delays in the launch of a very simple, short and boring game. Definitely not worth U$19.99

    One of the best downloadable games for the Playstation 3. Stellar graphics, storyline, characters, sound/music, and great and easy to learn controls. Awesome!!! 10/10

    Luckily, theres a demo available. The game is a lot of solo fun! The puzzles are simple and rewarding, getting every green vial is a challenge in itself, each one getting you closer to a level up. It plays smooth and the graphics are great. Worth buying definitely!

    Yet another game I had high hopes for and it falls flat. I mean it is a decent game but way too short and got this tired feeling to it. If this was $10 or maybe $15 I would consider it. My advice, do not buy into the hype (since us in North America have been waiting for it) and give it a pass.

    I read a lot of reviews before buying this game, and would just add a couple of things that weren't clear: 1) I'm an okay gamer, but it certainly took me more than 5 hours to get through; I wonder if some of the reviewers didn't try to get the hard-to-reach chests and experience bottles, which are a big part of it. 2) The last level is nothing like the first 14, in gameplay I read a lot of reviews before buying this game, and would just add a couple of things that weren't clear: 1) I'm an okay gamer, but it certainly took me more than 5 hours to get through; I wonder if some of the reviewers didn't try to get the hard-to-reach chests and experience bottles, which are a big part of it. 2) The last level is nothing like the first 14, in gameplay or difficulty, and was pretty frustrating (again, I'm guessing reviewers didn't want to say they found it hard), although it wouldn't be as bad on the PC version. I'd still completely recommend the game, though.… Expand

    This is the best party game you can have at home without plastic instruments. Loses only for Super Mario Brothers Wii.
    If you have 2 more friends to play local multiplayer dont miss it.

    Great game for 3 players. It could be fun solo too, but I haven't tried it. Beautiful graphics and a very colorful world. The gameplay works very well.

    A pretty 2D platform game that expands on the idea behind 16 bit game The Lost Vikings in which different characters with different skills are utilized to overcome puzzles. Shades of Oddworld can also be seen in the platform/puzzle format as well as its general quirkiness and sense of humour which is no bad thing. It is possible to bodge or fluke your way through from time to time, butA pretty 2D platform game that expands on the idea behind 16 bit game The Lost Vikings in which different characters with different skills are utilized to overcome puzzles.

    Trine is a very special game. It reminds us of classic games like Another World, Flashback or Prince of Persia, but with a new gameplay based in co-op and great visuals. But it's too short and it has just one co-op game mode for 3 players in LAN, which is no good. If not for that, this would be one of the greatest downloadable games yet.

    Trine is an amalgamation of true and tested old-fashioned ideas gussied up with a modern twist, and is never anything less than beautiful, engaging and enjoyable despite its occasional lack of polish.

    Trine is impressive with its beautiful and addictive platforming and Lost Vikings-esque gameplay. However, there's a lack of challenge in the early parts of the game, and the short game time leaves a bit to be desired. Frozenbyte should be applauded for their efforts though, and Trine is well worth the money.
