    Sideway: New York may not be an epic platformer, but it is a great deal of fun and certainly worth the $10 price point. While it may not introduce innovative gameplay, the stylish presentation and imaginative artwork makes it one of those games that gamers will pick up just to show friends how cool a game can be.

    Controls are awkwardly mapped and the music is unbearably repetitive, but exploration is rewarded and the mechanic is neat enough to keep you playing. [Christmas 2011, p.104]

    It's not a horrible game by any means, but it's certainly not a fully realized idea based on what's been shown in this first of three titles.

    I first played this game at Gamescon and really appreciated it. Sideway is a new genre of 2D platformer. I bought it recently and went through the game in about 4 to 6 hours. Worth the 10 bucks I spent on.… Expand

    This lackluster 2d platformer makes you strain your eyes into the buildings perspective. An Urban street style, but nothing I haven't done before. Save your money for Mario Galaxy 2 or Paper Mario instead.… Expand
