    Exit isn't a perfect experience, but if you can get the feel of the controls, it does offer some smart puzzles and a unique presentation. [Mar 2006, p.120]

    While the gameplay will likely be hit or miss depending on your genre preferences, it’s difficult to deny that Exit's interesting graphical style and presentation that make it one of the more memorable games to be released for the PSP.
  3. If you are into more fast paced puzzled, even though this game has a clock there is little rush with most of the maps (thank god, cause I would be screaming at Mr. Esc to move faster than the crawling pace he moves around at).

    A fun distraction for the PSP, [but] slow and repetitive, sometimes to the point of boredom. Just keep the sessions short. [Apr 2006, p.90]

    Played as intended, though – in short, brain-intensive bursts – this is a very challenging and inventive PSP title, worthy of attention. [Apr 2006, p.120]

    A stylish puzzler, whose slightly unwieldly control system and inevitable repetition are the only minor spanners in the works. [Mar 2006, p.89]

    There's a whole lot of trial-and-error going on here. Add in the awkward old-school controls and things can be quite frustrating.

    While the ideas behind it are solid enough, the execution leaves something to be desired, which is a shame as we were big fans of Mr. ESC. Still it's worth a look. [Apr 2006, p.84]
  9. Computer Games Magazine
    60
    With its jazzy score and terrific art design, it's a sublime bit of style over substance. With most games seemingly afraid of not being generic, that goes a long way. [May 2006, p.93]
  10. A good mental workout that can prove to be addictive, despite its punishing quirks.
  11. For every devilish puzzle that you crack, there's a moment of annoyance due to the clunky controls or slow character movement.

Each level is short enough to do in a few minutes ... once you figure it out. One thing missing is multiple save files so my wife can have her own game history. Full Review »

    Just picked up a copy of Exit and I must say,it is one of the best games out for the PSP. Great graphics,fun puzzles and fantastic art style. Just picked up a copy of Exit and I must say,it is one of the best games out for the PSP. Great graphics,fun puzzles and fantastic art style. Don't listen to IGN's bad review, this is a great game with over 100 levels and more downloadable ones on the way. Very high replay value as I kept wanting to go back and get a higher score on each level. If you want an innovative puzzler, pick this one up right away! Full Review »
