A game that I truly did not see coming. Fans of surreal FMV and/or match three puzzle games should check it out.
In the end, Tokyo Crash Mobs is a good puzzle game that is both helped and hurt by its oddball presentation. On the one hand, the use of people and the off-the-wall cut scenes bookending each level give you some motivation to progress even if the rewards are strange. On the other hand, the presentation can make it difficult to figure out where your person is going to land, potentially ruining a scenario and making you lose the match.
Behind its weird visuals there's actually a game that's quite fun. We might be shocked at the beginning, but once we get used to what it has to offer we'll find ourselves engaged in a bunch of hours of entertainment.
Despite its problems, Tokyo Crash Mobs remains an entertaining and enjoyable romp, and there's more than enough of the classic Puzz Loop brilliance to make it a worthwhile download, especially if you're already a card-carrying fan of Mitchell Corporation's work. It's just a shame that it doesn't improve dramatically on the existing entries in the series, because this is one franchise that deserves to have a genuine renaissance.
There's no real reason to keep playing beyond the initial weird-factor. [March 2013, p.96]
Tokyo Crash Mobs might not be the best version of Puzz Loop around, but in allowing us to briefly abandon our traditional British reserve, it becomes one of the most satisfying variants we've played.
Tokyo Crash Mobs should only really be considered by 3DS owners who dig the look of the game and are Puzz Loop fanatics. Everyone else should look elsewhere - there are plenty of superior puzzlers in the eShop.

Summary Get ready to unleash pedestrian-tossing pandemonium! All Grace and Savannah want is to make it in Tokyo, but what's with all the scenesters, bomb balls, flower displays, and ninjas getting in their way?! And don't even get me started on the UFO abductions, or how easy it is for a visit to Tokyo to end with getting sucked into outer s...
