Dec 30, 201060This block-busting platformer has plenty of quirky charm, but the action is too simple to be interesting for long.
-
Dec 29, 201065With a lack of game types and replay value, Raskulls is a once-through puzzle-platformer that satisfies upon first impressions but fails to hold the attention beyond the first hour of play.
-
Jan 7, 201174There's a lot to do here for a $10 game. You can collect all sixty medallions, complete each Grand Prix on every difficulty level, and battle your friends.
-
Jan 6, 201165If you have a lot of patience, you might find Raskulls' single-player challenges rewarding. Otherwise, you're better off dabbling in the campaign and focusing on the multiplayer.
-
Jan 3, 201180Despite some flaws, Rakulls is the best kind of downloadable title -- a humorous game with elements from well-designed classics, but integrated with a modern touch.
-
Jan 6, 201190Raskulls' crazed, crafted combination of platforming, racing and puzzling always promised to be something worth paying attention to, and so it has proved.
-
Jan 4, 201158I really liked the look and humor in Raskulls. I really did. Sadly, there's not a whole lot more to be had here. The single-player portion of the game is super short and I found very little to come back to after I completed the story, bonus levels or not.
-
Dec 31, 201083Raskulls isn't perfect, but it is lighthearted, funny, and a good value at 800 Microsoft points ($10).
-
Jan 5, 201180Raskulls offers lots of great single-player content and the option to play only your favorite parts is a fantastic bonus. Add to that enthralling energy and an excellent sense of humor and Raskulls' single-player is a blast. Unfortunately, it can also be somewhat short and the multiplayer options are minimal.
-
Jan 10, 201180But while Raskulls' thrills are short-lived, it's a genuinely fresh and fun concept we hope will do well enough for an even bolder(and heftier)sequel. [Feb 2011, p.78]
-
Jan 4, 201160Raskulls is many things – racer, puzzler, platformer – but it struggles to be all these things at once, or to do them equally well. Beneath the charming, brightly coloured exterior, there's a fascinating twist on the block-based puzzler at Halfbrick's game's heart – but you might just miss it when blasting through at high speed.
-
Jan 31, 201183Raskulls is a bit of everything, from a platform to a racing game, quoting a lot of classic games with a fresh and cool appeal. It has a good multiplayer too.
-
Feb 20, 201160Raskulls isn't a very balanced racing experience. [Issue#106, p.105]
-
Jan 10, 201170Another noteworthy title in Xbox Live Arcade, which will please two-dimensional games lovers, although it has very strong competition in the platform's portfolio.
-
Jan 2, 201160Raskulls is certainly not a terrible game, just one that will quickly wear out its welcome.
-
Jan 8, 201185Raskulls is a title that is sure to amuse and entertain for hours on end, with excellent gameplay and a degree of polish that could very well rank it up there among the best Xbox Live Arcade games.
-
Feb 14, 201173The loose controls and the lack of a story doesn't really matter next to the humor and fun of Raskulls, especially when you play with your friends on- or offline. A demo is available, too.
-
Jan 5, 201160It's such a shame that Raskulls is brought down by weak level design.
-
Jan 5, 201182In the end, though, Raskulls is an enjoyable diversion and makes for a nice little addition to your XBLA game library.
-
Jan 13, 201170Raskulls is a fun and clever game, but it won't be for everyone.
-
Jan 4, 201185Run, jump, zap and boost. The game plays out in quite a simple fashion and you'll find yourself rearing to beat your friends' high scores.
-
Jan 20, 201180A charming and enjoyable package. The variety of levels and modes will keep you busy for hours, and the online play provides much in the way of chaotic fun.
-
Jan 4, 201179The biggest knock I can give it is that it's a wash-rinse-repeat experience. The writing was a joy, but the gameplay itself wore thin over time.
-
Jan 14, 201180Thanks to its bizarre atmosphere and addictive gameplay, Raskulls proves to be one of the finest examples of modern high quality arcade gaming. You cannot deny yourself the chance to try it out.
-
Jan 7, 201180The racing issue aside, Raskulls shines whenever the player is left alone to work through one of the ingeniously-designed puzzle levels.
-
Feb 20, 201180Panorama-baitingly addictive. [Mar 2011, p.103]
-
Dec 31, 201070The Raskulls are charming, and that's the strongest point of a fun, engaging and compelling game. It's extremely simple, its gameplay is basic and it's kinda repetitive, but it has so many fun moments that it becomes a great experience for playing both solo or with friends.
-
Mar 3, 201180Funny, addictive and engaging. [Issue#69, p.98]
-
Dec 30, 201075Raskulls is cute, fun and clever, but it won't be for everyone. A more casual player will most likely get a big kick out of racing around bashing bricks, but the more hardcore Xbox owner will long for a more beefy experience.
-
Jan 8, 201180To conclude, Raskulls is a fantastic Xbox Live Arcade title. The unique twist on the puzzle genre and its great multiplayer makes this a title to certainly consider purchasing, despite the lack of replayability after completion of the title's main quest.
-
Jan 18, 201175Raskulls is a well constructed game. It's very clear what developer Halfbrick wanted to create here, and I believe they were successful.
-
Jan 7, 201190The combination of puzzler and platformer makes Raskulls one of the more unique games to hit the marketplace since this summer.
-
Jan 2, 201175Raskulls is determined not to be boring.
-
Feb 3, 201170A humorous platform racing game that is a blast with friends but only for a short time.
-
Jan 4, 201180Along with the great stage design, Raskulls also has excellent character design.
-
Jan 23, 201180Don't expect complex puzzles like the ones found on braid or the frenzied action of Castle Crashers, but Raskulls is a fun game very worth of your time and money.
-
Dec 29, 2010100Raskulls is one of the best puzzle games I've ever played, and the gameplay is extremely varied: check it out.
-
Feb 4, 201171Even if there are new levels or characters added as DLC down the track, it's difficult to view Raskulls as anything but a short-term injection of fun and nothing more.
-
Feb 23, 201160It's only during multiplayer sessions that Raskulls shines, as the campaign is quite bland. But playing against other people at home or over the net can be plenty of fun, as long as you can find other players.
-
Dec 31, 201070There's little truly innovative about Raskulls, and its non-stop attempt to charm (never as funny as it thinks it is) nearly backfires. But with its solid mechanics, well-designed levels, and cute characters, only a grizzled old Gargamel wouldn't enjoy their time with the Raskulls.
-
Feb 25, 201180A fun game that is over all too quickly. The Mega Quest single-player game can get repetitive but offers up some good puzzle platforming action, and the multiplayer options will be a sure hit with your friends. Online gameplay and leaderboards add replayability to the game, but the cutesy art style might sway potential players away.
-
Jan 11, 201180Raskulls is cute, and it's funny - even if it tries a bit too hard sometimes.
-
Jan 5, 201190The bottom line is that Raskulls is a devilishly unique, polished game with a flair and charm missing in most. Worthy of a purchase unless your aversion is something fundamental (like not being on Xbox Live). Raskulls is a superbly crafted platformer which should appeal to everyone.
