The game is undeniably lovingly made, but it's also disappointing brief. It's - yep - the fastest fun in the west.

The genre-mixing is a nice enough idea but you end up with an exhausted puzzler with some pretty flimsy RPG elements tacked on. It all seems a little flat. [May 2007, p.90]

Simple fun. [Aug 2011, p.91]

If you're after an eight-player game on the DSi this may be worth a punt. [Oct 2010, p.97]

EscapeVektor looks good but lacks charm, and just going up, down, left and right over lines is a little boring. Solid retro gaming, but with a lingering feeling of style over substance.

An entertaining platformer let down by a silly pay-to-play unlocking system.

A fun puzzler, but why should fans spend more money on a game they already played? Stingy stuff. [Jan 2013, p.111]

A very accomplished platformer, but one that will only appeal to hardcore gamers who relish retro difficulty levels.

A good attempt at a tower defence game but it just lacks that little extra magic.

You don't get the resistance bands either, so if you don't have the first game you're at a disadvantage. [Feb 2010, p.83]

Seriously lacking in key areas and too pricey - EA should have skipped this and gone straight to "Rock Band 2" instead. [Nov 2008, p.98]

Fiendishly addictive. [Jan 2008, p.83]

Everything is thrown at you, ramping up the already shocking difficulty level. [Apr 2013, p.90]

An overly complicated puzzler that tries to do too much with a simple idea. [Feb 2010, p.88]

Fun, but if you're not obsessed with your heart rate, the original's similar - and cheaper. [Jan 2011, p.78]

Fall for it and you'll fall hard, but its challenges left our fun glands untickled. [Jan 2014, p.82]

It's perhaps a little easy for experienced gamers, but younger players should have a good time playing it. [July 2008, p.103]

Thoughtful, pretty and just strange enough. [Christmas 2014, p.85]

More physics toybox than game, Little Inferno manages to be both enjoyably mad and annoyingly maddening. Wait to snap it up in an eShop fire sale.

RPG fans will find lots to enjoy. [Feb 2013, p.85]

Great for fans, hard work for everyone - it's not bad, just really heavy going. [Feb 2009, p.80]

The mixture of Sega and Sumo should have made for a game that was as accomplished as it was nostalgic. Instead, it's just a bit flat.

With a good story and fantastic visuals, this Dragon Ball game could have been brilliant if it had better controls and combat.

The gotta buy 'em all mentality is as ferociously addictive as ever, but the delightful characters deserve a more imaginative, better made game. [Christmas 2012, p.108]

So it's a slow dance; a gentle sway of steps with the occasional flourish. That can be far more enjoyable than the most energetic experience - but if you're getting things wrong, the wait to get it over with can be excruciating.

It's all far too familiar. [Dec 2011, p.98]

Slick and well made, but a little too complex for its own good. [Feb 2014, p.83]

It's basic, but a solid puzzler. [June 2009, p.87]
