    Graphic adventures have a fairly set audience, and if you haven't liked other games that force you to scan a screen, pixel-hunting for clues, then Red Johnson is nowhere near different enough to change your mind. But fans of the old-school definitely won't find another game like this on PSN.
  2. It's stylish and striking--a compelling visual complement to the 10 hours of enjoyable sleuthing and puzzle-solving on offer here. [July 2011, p.82]

    Could be more polished, and a tough sell at four hours with no replay, but certainly a uniquely crafted experience.
