« Childhood nostalgia at its finest. I love everything about this game. The art style, the soundtrack, the gameplay, the polish, and the beautiful and cute charm this game holds. I definitely feel like I love this game as much as I do because of nostalgia, but even without that factor this game is still great. It can certainly be a bit repetitive at times, but everything else about the game is done so well that I can usually ignore it. I would like to say this game is a solid 9 out of 10, but due to nostalgia, I will push it up to a 10. This game is beautiful. »
« Es uno de los mejores juegos que he podido disfrutar en la decada pasada. Pese a su simpleza es increíblemente absorbente De un momento a otro pase de jugarlo casualmente hasta decidir a terminarlo en su totalidad. El juego mas difícil es el de los pasteles y aun así la dificultad es justa. Me gustaría una futura entrega donde exploremos mas el mundo de Purble Place. »
« This game is truly a masterpiece and one of the most influential and greatest games of all time. The never seen before mind blowing design and storytelling along with beautiful visuals, makes something that no game title will ever top no matter what. The heartbreaking story was so sad and beautiful and made me sit at my desk and cry for 72 hours due to the wonderful story with years of development put into it. Gameplay is so great, that I spent a whole 2 years playing the game in my chair without going to the bathroom, digesting anything or blinking one single time. I am now blind because of this great creation of mankind. I will never see my wife or any of my family ever again with my eyes, but it is worth it. I even played the game a second time and I became twice as blind. That's right. Thank you Microsoft and Oberon Media for bringing this game down from the heavens and saving me. I cannot wait for the sequel to come out and it must be even better due to the development cycle reaching 13 years now. »

« The pinnacle of gaming. Never before has there been a game crafted with such finesse and polish. It paved the way for newer games by offering absolutely mind boggling visuals, top notch sound effects, and a heartbreaking story like none other. A must have for all. Microsoft has outdone themselves this time. »
