« This game provides a very fun, funny and engrossing experience featuring a cast of interesting and likeable characters. Its stylistic simplicity may deter some, but those who don't mind reading will find much to enjoy. »
« It is not interesting from a technical or aesthetic point of view, but compensates for it with a good development and a certain humor that covers all the story. »
« Props to EA for delivering a solid, entertaining game. Top of the class. [July 2010, p.92] »
« If it had had a more unique storyline than just revisiting high school and re-presenting personality stereotypes from movies like Mean Girls, it might have had more of a hook -- but I don't know that anyone should spend eight bucks to turn back the clock here, because we can all just draw on our own traumatic memories of those years for free. »
