    Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams looks, plays and sounds terrific. The challenge is balanced nicely with the tight controls and frequent checkpoints, and failure never became overly frustrating.

    Black Forest Games revitalized its series by staying true to the game’s origins while still moving past its blatant clone gimmicks.

    Art and glitches aside, Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams is a surprisingly enjoyable platformer, and the developers have done a lot to breathe life and personality into a series that was never really allowed to live in the first place.

    Very recommended for those looking for an old-school platformer, with classic gameplay and difficulty.

    For gamers looking for a hardcore challenge then this might be the game for you. For casual gamers, this might be a frustrating experience.

    They may not be directly related but Mario’s would-be siblings have some interesting ideas of their own, although they lack refinement to make the most of them.

    Twisted Dreams will drive you mad. You rarely get the sense of reward when you finish a level - just a huge wave of relief that you don't have to suffer through that again.

    Fantastic! I was not expecting anything, I remember Giana sisters being some kind of rip-off mario clone from years ago. But the graphicsFantastic! I was not expecting anything, I remember Giana sisters being some kind of rip-off mario clone from years ago. But the graphics and game mechanics blew me away. Fantastic game with some neat ideas that keep it feeling like a modern title. If you have any interest in platform games at all, you should love this!… Expand

    An old style platform game with very old fashioned game play hidden behind lush modern visuals, which often hinder rather than help you. MarioAn old style platform game with very old fashioned game play hidden behind lush modern visuals, which often hinder rather than help you. Mario is clear, concise and bright. Giana sisters is dark and grim when in the evil/half world and quick switching between this and the light world can (with the over detailed backgrounds) make missing important details, such as spikes, all too easy. Everything kills you in one hit, enemies, spikes, getting trapped in a closing door... everything, Mario always had his mushroom from his first solo outing and the Sisters could do with a few of these as they are no where near as nimble as our modern day plumber.
    If you like out of date game mechanics, where you feel you have played through it all too many times in previously played platform games, masked over by impressive(albeit often grim) visuals with a gimmick or two thrown in for good measure then this may be the game you have been waiting for. If not then don't get tempted...    … Expand

Les graphismes sont bien entendu en 256 couleurs et l'espèce de musique est horrible.

    En plus de s'avérer aussi injouable qu'ennuyeux et con, vraiment très con, le "jeu" est un collectathon de merdes à ramasser sur des niveaux pourris dont on peut changer la "configuration" à la volée pour le meilleur mais surtout pour le pire. Une daube répétitive opportuniste bricolée par 3 pelés et un tondu dans leur cave.    … Expand
