    Stepping into the TARDIS is a cool moment, and there are lots of references and encounters that fans will love throughout the short runtime. Unfortunately, that's about as much substance as you'll find. The puzzles themselves are pretty easy, and the environments you find yourself in are underwhelming. Long load times break the flow between each location, movement is slow, and it's not very engaging to play at all. If you're a real Doctor Who aficionado, you may find some enjoyment here, but otherwise, this is a waste of your precious time.

The graphics are great in the first scene, the doctor needs your help. Everything is set up to be a wonderful adventure...until you realize it is a puzzle solving game where you basically have to solve puzzles, often through trial and error as the clues you get are often very vague. The Doctor is very patronizing, which is fine, because the doctor can be that way with lowly humans, but I really don't need to hear the doctor repeat the same cryptic clue every 30 seconds like I'm some kind of moron or something. LIke, literally, I'm solving one of the puzzles which is taking me a little bit of time and I have to hear her spout the same clue over and over again even though I know what I'm doing and just need a few minutes to do it.
    The Tardis controls are horrific to manage and when you make a mistake the doctor makes some pithy comment. Also, later in the game, the graphics seem to be a little blander and less detailed than in the beginning like they just got lazy when they designed it.
    To be honest, I didn't finish the game because it just plain got very frustrating trying to solve some of the puzzles when what I was looking for was a cool adventure.    … Full Review »
