   This game is pure magic. From the characters to the set changes, the platforming to the levels, the humor to the charm, you cant disagree this game is beautiful in every way. Its more then just the graphics, which are a downright marvel. The music is a magnificent opus of cellos and violins, tubas and trumpets..... ...it makes you smile like a young child. This game has so much going for it and its been a joy to play from beginning to where I am at. Sometimes I just want a game to get lost in and have a complete joy playing from start to finish and not worry about leaderboards and difficulty levels....Puppeteer is that game. Its a masterpiece.… Expand

   Just got it today and have finished Act 1 and the first chapter of Act 2. I have just about nothing to complain about with regards to this game so far. Graphics and aesthetics are top notch, voice acting even better, mechanics are fun and the game has a certain charm to it.
   
   If you are looking for a difficult game, though, this is not it. It has its share of QTE's and the gameplay mechanics are simplistic, at least at the point I am in. For me it makes no matter, I don't need every game I play to challenge my skill at every turn of the screen. If you, like me, just like to sit down and enjoy a great story, told by great voice actors, in a game with really good graphics and awesome aesthetics (provided you like them, go check them out on a video), then get this game yesterday.… Expand

   People who are rating this game in the negative scale are out of their mind.
   This game does many new things, many old things better than ever, without ever trying to copy something from another franchise.
   
   The graphics are superb, they pop right out at you looking like they really are made of wood, and are some of the most colourful in the entire generation. The music too, is awesome. It has that epic film score likeness but it's been refined into somewhat of a poppy video game style.
   
   The gameplay is some of the most unique yet and for a first iteration of the game it is executed wonderfully, it starts off slowly introducing jumping and ducking and rolling to get about and dodge enemies, while simultaneously introducing your secondary partner, a cat (and later a fairy) who can investigate the background and foreground for secrets that may lead to lives, power ups, secret heads or bonus stages. The main mechanic is from the scissors (calibre) that Kutaro gains in the first level, cut into enemies, cut around the level via leaves or smoke, cut into bosses, and cut along seams in a furious and fast fashion for a big thrill.
   
   On top of that it introduces new mechanics to the platform genre, a permanent Ninja head power that allows you to throw bombs, a bull head that allows you to smash down on obstacles and more. Once you've completed the game the first time you can go back through from the start and find secrets that lead to enemies and heads never found or fought before with your new head powers.
   
   The bosses as well are some of the finest I've ever seen, there are more than 13 of them, the generals as well as things called Weavers which are like mini-bosses it really feels the best of the Mega Drive-SNES era non-Nintendo platformers brought into Modern era, except being about 3 times as large with more content. The game is actually somewhat of a spiritual successor to Dynamite Headdy, especially with it's head mechanics, and puppet theatre setting, it even has a big bad bear as it's protagonist the Moon Bear King, (it was trouble-bruin or Murayama in the jp version of Dynamite Headdy.)
   
   All I can say is the game will blow you away, and it doesn't try to imitate Mario or Kirby or any other platformer, it fits perfectly among the others, this seems as though it will be another highly rated SCEJ game with critical acclaim that may not sell well at FIRST... but as time goes on, if people let others know how masterfully crafted it is, it might explode like Dynamite.… Expand

   It's funny. It's edgy. It's beautiful. It's Spongebob Squarepants' silliness meets Rocko's Modern Life's ballsiness meets Tim Burton's creepy uncanniness. It's everything you were looking for in a weird game you didn't know you always wanted. (oh, and voice acting is perfect and the music is breathtaking, didn't know where to put that in)
   
   For some idiot reason, the game's only $39.99 full-price so BUY IT NOW!!!!… Expand

   This game is underrated and sadly overlooked.
   It is also the most original game of this generation, other than ThatGameCompany's works.
   
   The visuals are outstanding, and so unique never before seen style and amazing animation. The theatre theme and overlay make it feel like you're playing something different, almost like it's not a game.
   Voice acting is superb, with Picarina being one of the most original and likable characters ever, once you get past the shock that she sounds like a sassy valley girl.
   Gameplay is also brilliant and wildly unexpected. Scizzors as a game mechanic? Crazy right? But it works so well and is so satisfying!
   
   BUY THIS GAME NOW WITHOUT HESITATION. Then thank me later.… Expand

   You may think that Puppeteer is a Little Big Planet copy, but when you actually play it you realize it's completely different. In this game you play as Kutaro, a headless puppet who is in a task to save the moon kingdom, free the captured souls of childs from the hands of the Moon Bear King, epic i know. The gameplay is fun and addictive, Your weapon it's a pair of scissors, Yes scissors, you will find how creative and original using the scissors feels, not only the boss fights but the puzzles that requires using the scissors, also the game art and atmosphere is creative, beautiful and sometimes you feel that you are on a Tim's Burton movie, a good one. This is a game who most likely would look like it was who only children would enjoy but once you play it you realize that is open fun for all ages, a game worthy of your time.… Expand
