    Lemmings Touch brings that good old formula to the PlayStation Vita, but does not do that exactly right. The touch controls don't go hand in hand with the gameplay, and the graphics look really outdated. Unless you are a big fan of the series, you can better let this game slip through your fingers.

    The gameplay is recognizable and therefore still enjoyable, though the touch features leave a lot to be desired. And was it really necessary to make the tutorial so damn hard?

    Lemmings Touch simply is one big mistake. Managing dozens of Lemmings simultaneously requires extremely precise controls, but the touch sensitive controls of Lemmings Touch don’t come even near to what could be regarded decent. These poor controls are so crucial for the gamer’s experience… the rest of the pros and cons don’t even matter anymore.

    It's wonderful that the lemmings are back! Now with a great twist of mischievous lemmings and cannons and trampolines. Really great attempt toIt's wonderful that the lemmings are back! Now with a great twist of mischievous lemmings and cannons and trampolines. Really great attempt to refresh the series and the graphics are pretty good, a far cry from the original indeed! There's a new option to change your lemmings' wardrobe too!
    All of these would be great and wonderful if this game did not have touch controls.
    You forget all the good the developers have done the first time you miss tap and have to restart the level which you almost perfected. You can move the item bubble around! While this sounds like a good idea it leads to far more missed taps than anything. Precise control is a necessity in lemmings and touch controls ruin it.
    All this could be easily avoided by allowing you to pause at the correct time and enable an item on a particular lemming. I tried to do this to no avail.
    If someone out there is reading this, please get the word to the developers of this niche game on this niche console to fix this sacrilege of a control system.    … Full Review »
