Give it a shot, and if the game gets its hooks into you like it did me, be prepared to spend a lot of time screaming at the TV -- while having fun, of course.

Crystal Defenders is a good game with the advantages of being easy to learn, having lots of of maps and challenging gameplay.On the other hand, the graphics are a bit poor and if you're not in to this type of games it'll soon get a bit boring.

PSM3 Magazine UK

If you want some laid back strategy that won't test your brain or steal from your wallet (it's 7.99), this is a recommended download. [Sept 2009, p.77]

Playstation Official Magazine UK

Its biggest problem, though, is the competition that's already available on the store. [Oct 2009, p.123]

It's just not enough. [Issue#184, p.85]

[Anonymous] gave it a9:
I enjoy this game it is something my kids can play with out saying daddy how do you use this spell. You can have some quick fun with it and try different strategies with it. I recommend it to anyone who played the nintendo days. Boy how games have change. This game teaches you more then just what you think, some things in life are better to be planned out then just shoot em up and Bash threw. As a future game art designer; its not always about the graphics but how the game plays peace.

Cory H gave it a2:
Terrible port of the game (much better on the Wii). Choppy and unplayable, possibly ported from the iPhone version.
