    With a multiplayer option – which would alleviate the unpredictability of your companion when playing single player – and plenty of collectibles as well as stacks of puzzles, The Eternity Clock has a lot to offer but there are just too many frustrations to wholly recommend this.

    Doctor Who fans will get a lot out of the story and excellent voice acting and motion capture, but only gamers with a high tolerance for frustration will find the fun buried in this one.

    Clock takes a puzzle-driven adventure game and mixes it up with a side-scrolling platformer. Not a bad design template in theory, but not so great as implemented here. [Aug 2012, p.86]

    The Eternity Clock is a simple platformer rife with tacky bugs, abrasive puzzles, and timey-wimey guff.

    It's frustrating. More so because the easy bits are so repetitive and simple, while the tricky bits are random and insane.

    The Eternity Clock is shambolic and underfed, even by the Timelord's previous low gaming standards.

    Having played the game on both PlayStation 3, and PC, I can say that this is definitely the inferior version. The game, particularly on PS3,Having played the game on both PlayStation 3, and PC, I can say that this is definitely the inferior version. The game, particularly on PS3, was rushed and many of the great parts of this game do not make up for the flaws of this game as well. I do, however, give it a 7/10 because I immensely enjoyed the game as a Doctor Who fan. I would however, recommend playing on PC as that is, by far, the better version of the game with a lot less bugs.… Expand
