Unlike a lot of puzzle games, Downstream Panic has a decidedly organic feel to it. It feels as though you're playing in a virtual eco system. Rent it for sure.
-
85Originality reigns supreme in this unusual masterpiece. A must-own for puzzle fans everywhere.
-
Downstream Panic's Lemmings-esque gameplay is hard to resist.
-
83One hell of an impressive puzzle game. It has a ton of character, and you won't find anything else that makes use of water like this on the system.
-
83Its addictive gameplay will make sure that you play through all 80 missions, and come back for more. Furthermore, it features a solid amount of depth, and its presentation is quite easy on the eyes.
-
80Thin slights against an otherwise engaging puzzler; one we hope doesn't fade from memory due to a light retail presence and serious lack of buzz.
-
80With over 80 levels and a few extra modes to play with, this game should keep you glued to your PSP for some time.
-
However, Downstream Panic! is a solid effort, and for all my gripes about it being shallow, it does its job in keeping you occupied.
-
75Saving cute little fish in Downstream Panic! is a fun though, occasionally, frustrating endeavor.
-
75It may look and feel like Lemmings, but Atari's newest puzzler has a number of tricks up its sleeve.
-
75New tools and enemies are introduced throughout the adventure mode's more than 80 levels, which helps keep things interesting. [Apr 2008, p.84]
-
70The visuals are charming, the sound is muteable, and figuring out how to efficiently use your controlled arsenal is great, but for a game that's all about logically thinking out plans, we could have done without the unpredictability.
-
A fun and addictive experience. It is challenging with a lot to offer and pretty good replay value. With eighty stages out of the box, that's a lot of gaming.
-
In expected fashion the puzzles become increasingly difficult, demanding careful timing and sound logical thinking--navigating the fish through most of the stages is thoroughly enjoyable. [Apr 2008, p.73]
