  1. Stylish, vintage puzzling let down slightly by some wonky controls. [Jan 2009, p.96]
  2. EXIT DS is a flawed classic in the puzzle game genre but there's definitely enough here to be worth checking out if you haven't played any of the other versions in the three years since the game's original release, you don't mind hair-tearing frustration, and you have the patience to get to grips with a control scheme that should be far more intuitive than it is.
  3. Exit DS is an incredibly frustrating title because at its most basic core it's fun and incredibly well designed. It’s an absolute shame that Mr. Escape’s adventures are marred with imprecise controls and one insidious game design choice.
  4. In most ways, Exit DS is essentially the same game as the two earlier versions, only with weaker graphics and horrible controls.
