    Art Style is one of the best uses of 3D we’ve seen in a puzzler and is a great start for Nintendo’s new brand. [Christmas 2008, p.121]

    By tying efficient progress to this random system, rather than old-fashioned player skill, Cubello ultimately fumbles the delicate balancing act, which can be the difference between a very good puzzler and a great one, and so it proves.

    Not only is the title incredibly original and clever, it's amazingly intense and is quite possibly the most intimidating puzzler I've played in a very long time. Seriously, having a huge cube structure hurtling towards you at menacingly high speeds is not for the faint of heart. By far the best of the Art Style series, vastly better than that soulless waste that is ROTOHEX.    … Full Review »

Maybe I was just too spoiled after playing World of Goo or the overall concept didn't agree with me.… Full Review »
