Reviews around soundtrack (5.00 of 5)

  • Beautiful art, amazing soundtrack, cute characters, and quite possibly one of the best plots I've come across

Reviews around platformer (5.00 of 5)

  • This is a surprisingly good platformer and very original.
  • The game is a simple enough platformer for anyone to pick up, yet the story is humorous enough and has enough child like wonder to make that part inside of you smile again like when you'd watch your favorite cartoon on a Saturday morning or getting your very first video game
  • It's a cute fun platformer, but I haven't found it to be a game that I couldn't put down.
  • Truly an awesome action platformer, with a touch of character and world customization.
  • This feels like a proper follow up to the great platformer/adventure games that we got on the N64 and PS2

Reviews around vita (4.74 of 5)

  • The game uses the gyroscope, microphone, cameras, and both front and rear touch screens throughout the game and really shows you what the vita is capable of
  • Don't miss out on the best vita game to ever be released!!!
  • I thought I was going to get a lot more game time considering how this is one of the pricier vita games.
  • It is beautiful, fun, and uses the vita like no other game on the market
  • Not the best vita game by a long shot, but very original, worth playing.

Reviews around gameplay (4.70 of 5)

  • This game's creative gameplay is simply the best game for the Vita so far
  • Great gameplay that will keep you entertained for hours.
  • The gameplay is entertaining, if not challenging for most adults
  • It's not always accurate, due to lack of sensitivity (judging from my own speculations), and that can result in some really irritating gameplay in areas where it really shouldn't be frustrating at all
  • There are lots of creative creatures to interact with, a wonderful world to explore and great gameplay to enjoy

  • Fantastic, original story and game play, overall a wonderful experience
  • Boring bad story
  • Super entertainment game, with a great story and a lot of interaction with the vita

Reviews around art (4.58 of 5)

  • Excellent art, music and concept completely and utterly wasted on overly sensitive, broken touch controls and borderline gimmicky abuse of the camera and microphone, arguably the worst points on the hardware itself
  • This time is not different, this game is so fun, has great art design and music
  • I just finished this game and it's simply unique, wonderful and full of creative art
  • Beautiful art, amazing soundtrack, cute characters, and quite possibly one of the best plots I've come across
  • Very creative art direction, great game play, finally felt like gaming time well spent.

Reviews around way (4.56 of 5)

  • The best way to describe is like Mario 64 meets Little Big Planet.
  • Which is a very neat and fun way to do unlockables within a video game
  • Vita's controls and not just in a gimmicky way
  • The rear touch is used just enough (and in a very cool way); the camera is used just enough, so on and so forth
  • It makes you use all of the Vita's secondary control options like the touch screen and back touch pad, in a friendly and fun way

Reviews around tearaway (4.32 of 5)

  • Tearaway controls like a everyday 3D platformer, though due to the PS Vita having some unique functions that other consoles don't have it takes a very unique twist with how you play
  • The papercraft-comes-to-life style fascinates as it pulls you along from one unfolding streamer to the next
  • Instead, I would say Tearaway's spirit lies in games like Journey, The Unfinished Swan, and others in the same vein; the experience of the game and the player interaction is what truly makes it special
  • Tearaway uses every sensor on the Vita, features fun and compelling (and often challenging) gameplay (you will die a lot!), but the key is that they used the *perfect* balance of all of these elements.
  • Breaking the fourth wall from beginning to end, "Tearaway" offers something truly special.

Reviews around experience (4.03 of 5)

  • This is a lot like littlebigplanet but where LBP excels in multiplayer, this game is an excellent single player experience.
  • Rest assured, the experience is absolutely worth taking, and its refreshing from beginning to end
  • Also taking pictures & paper cutting tend to slog the experience down towards the end.
  • Fantastic, original story and game play, overall a wonderful experience
  • Tearaway is a lengthy, highly original and visually beautiful experience

Reviews around world (3.78 of 5)

  • while it's impressive, it just doesn't have the uniqueness of an imaginary world.
  • You live and tell the story within this super creative world
  • The world they have created is spectacularly creative with tons of potential for anything.
  • The world that you will explore is created entirely out of paper so you will be able to manipulate this world with your god like powers
  • There are lots of creative creatures to interact with, a wonderful world to explore and great gameplay to enjoy

Reviews around point (1.95 of 5)

  • If you own a Vita, and you don't own this game, what's the damn point of owing a vita
  • creative!I really enjoyed it!
  • Excellent art, music and concept completely and utterly wasted on overly sensitive, broken touch controls and borderline gimmicky abuse of the camera and microphone, arguably the worst points on the hardware itself
