    This is easily one of the best eShop titles currently available, which should satisfy any Wii U owner currently starved for games.

    Maybe Stick It To The Man is just a simple platformer with only slightly challenging puzzle elements that can be finished in a couple of hours, but thanks to its quantity and quality of humor and jokes, to me it was one of the best eShop experiences I’ve played on my Wii U.

    Stick It To The Man is a great downloadable titles with plenty of actual laughs and some engaging gameplay to match. With so much that could have gone wrong, you owe it to yourself to check out the game that got so much right.

    Stick It To The Man! is a great adventure game whose only crime is that it's over before you know it.

    Stick it to the Man! is the perfect game to sit down and relax with, to the point that it sometimes feels more like an interactive cartoon than an actual video game.

    Forgetting the length and replay value, Stick It to the Man is a unique title full of harmless fun, which is more than welcomed in a world overpopulated by shooters and action games.

    Its unique blend of psychic gameplay and surreal visuals won't appeal to everyone, but if you want to spend a free afternoon with something completely different then it's well worth a look.

    It can be a little inconsistent in terms of both actions and puzzles but late entry or not this is one of the funniest and best-presented adventures of the year.

    A strange, excellent new take on the genre. [May 2014, p.86]

    As far as humorous unconventional games are concerned, Stick it to the Man fits perfectly among those titles that break the lines of conformity. The whole experience is richly treated to a recipe of originality and humour, helped by a superb sound environment. If only the programming of some of the GamePad functions was improved and longevity more ambitious, this would be an all-round winner.

This game was just like watching my favorite cartoons from Nickelodeon and early Cartoon Network. Some great dark humor and a fair number of subtle references from all sorts of pop culture are also thrown in. As far as gameplay, this is a very simple Point-and-Click style of adventure. If you're familiar with Sierra games, then you will understand the basic game play of "Try everything, and you'll end up with your quest items eventually". There are a few stealth puzzles that are slightly difficult, but most of your time will be spent running around reading minds, grabbing stickers, and then placing those stickers.

    This is a short game...maybe 4 hours if you get stuck on something. I want more of it. Great style, fun story, terrific writing, and impeccable voice actors.    … Full Review »

Great voice acting, smart puzzles, and a jazzy soundtrack with just a smidge of platforming thrown in! Having the map on the GamePad and using the pad to read minds is REALLY cool. I hope the series continues as I loved every minute of it! Worth the download!… Full Review »
