    My friend convinced me to get this and shockingly, it's totally worth it.

    Brillant game! First time I have played 4,5 hours in one gaming session on my Vita. The game is a fun and the graphics are good.
    Well worth spend every penny!

    Funny game, very original and cute...There are a lots of things you can collect, and lots of dlc you can purchase to improve skills in the game. But they still have lot to do, since vita got a touch screen, they should facilitate game control with this feature.

    This game's existence just makes me sad...
    It was created to quote "fulfil a deal" between Marvelous and Konami, and not a single developer from the original game was invited to work on it. It's corporate destruction of art at its worst form.

    A solid re-tread of a Wii classic, but one that lost the charm of its source material along the way. [Jan 2013, p.68]

    A deceptively adult adventure. [Issue#224, p.80]

    An awful English dub further spoils the original's charm, turning a potential killer-app into a right royal waste of potential. [Christmas 2012, p.96]
