   The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom is one of the most interesting arcade games I have ever played, it's score, storyline, grainy animation, and comical poetry make this game so satisfying. It is very artistic and enjoyable. This is one Platform Puzzle game you have to play. If the pies don't make you salivate the gameplay will everything about this game is original and fun. One of my favorite arcade games I have played, and I have played a lot. You will get so much more out of this game than the money you put into it.… Expand

   An amazing little gem. Winterbottom is loaded with black'n'white-old-school-cinema humor. How often can you play a *good* game in black and white? The graphical style is really great (artsy stuff!) and soundtrack is really "old-school-movie evocative". Winterbottom consists various of short stages, each a puzzle of it's own. It's not a long game, but it's quite inexpensive, and it has good replay value. A great game for anyone who's into indie games, old movies or just wants a blast of "different" gameplay. It's also available for PC.… Expand

   The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom is certainly an unique game, but the mechanics of the game are far too simple to compare to classics such as Braid. If Winterbottom is purely seen from an independent developer standpoint, then yes, it is a highly innovative game considering its low budget. But from a consumer viewpoint, the game is more average than fun. While the mechanics of having clones and controlling time is fun, it is not done so in a clever way. The drawings are very simple, and the missions are much too tedious. The backgrounds are dull and repetitive, it becomes monotonous after the first world. Winterbottom is fun for a couple minutes, but its dullness and monotony overcomes that entertainment. But in a developer standpoint, Winterbottom is an achievement for Indie companies, but that does not cut it in the mainstream audience.… Collapse

   In a world where Indie apparently is forgiven for everything and larger dev houses are punished for minor flaws, it's depressing to see this solid if slighly amateurish game getting such high praise from reviewers. Whimsy is not code for 'poorly drawn' and if this had been released by a major publisher, it's shameless theft of mechanics from better titles would be treated with scorn. It's cheap, it's 'Indie' and few will ever play it or remember it, but it's not that bad. It just doesn't have much of a reason to exist.… Expand
