  • Summary: Unique to its genre, Crush introduces a valuable new puzzle gaming experience that is wholly suited to the PSP system. Set within a complex, hypnotic 3D world, players use the game's unique crush mechanic to "crush" the environment and transform it into a more simplified 2D platformer. Once flattened, players utilize the 2D space to move to new areas to solve otherwise impossible challenges, and unlock secret items that were previously unobtainable in the 3D environment. Players then "uncrush" the 2D environment and return to the 3D world. Designed for a wide and varied audience, Crush tells the story of Dan, a man with a lifetime of unresolved issues and bottled up emotions that has turned him into a nervous insomniac who is too tired to turn his life around. Desperate for a cure, he turns to hypnosis. It is during this state that he is given one last chance to sort through the wreckage of his past, before he loses the last thing he has – his sanity.

    Certainly a real gem for puzzle fanatics, and anyone looking for something really new and really unique for their PSP has gotten themselves a real head turner.

    Our only real complaint is that 40-odd levels weren't enough to satisfy us, but the fact that Crush left us wanting more speaks volumes about its quality. [Sept 2007, p.79]

    Crush is a one-of-a-kind action puzzle game, and its unique concept makes for a refreshing and bizarre experience.

    The game is full of charm, from the easily-distinguishable block types and hero in dressing gown, to the sequences that detail the game’s story and a delicate hint mode. [July 2007, p.93]

    Inventive, mind-bending topography make you wonder how the designers worked out the level design! Really nicely put together - just difficult enough to make the moment when you solve a puzzle give you a warm, fuzzy feeling.… Expand

    Easily the best PSP game I've played in a long time. Very challenging, and most importantly, fun. Aimed precisely at the handheld crowd (not a dumbed down port), with levels that are (amazingly) exactly as long as your interest in finishing them. Well done, must buy.… Expand

    It's a good game, I'm not arguing against that. Though, the pros and cons of the game makes it a mixed bag. I enjoyed the unique genius puzzle gameplay engine, but I didn't find that too rewarding. The only reward for your hard work is an art gallery. Though, it's fairly lengthly, the only replay value it has is repeating missions.… Expand
