    Echoes has already made its debut on Xbox Live Arcade, but it fits quite well in the PSP Mini library. In fact, it's one of the best PSP Minis available, which may not be saying much due to the scant library filled with sub-par games, but it's definitely a crystal in the rough.

    Echoes may well be the best download only game on PSP; an essential purchase.

    For a $3 Mini, Echoes fits the bill quite well.

    It is a fun, rewarding game, perfect for the train or bus and at just a handful of dollars, is worthy of your consideration.

    It can be needlessly frustrating at times thanks to the control, but it's a good little game that demonstrates exactly what PSP Minis should have been doing from the outset.

    If PSP Minis were TV, Echoes would be the weird arty cartoon that ran for about five minutes at 3am. [Jan 2010, p.115]
