- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 November 2010Well, I am well over the 3+ age group but as someone who uses the Nintendo to keep my wits alert and a fan of our friendly Time Lord, I have to say this game is very impressive, added with the actual voices of the Doctor and Amy along with the Professor Leyton style of text boxes to read.
Some of the puzzles are easy, I'm pleased to say, but the mini games are something else. It certainly is a good use of my brain power, calculation and a steady hand is also needed - not much good if you suffer from Parkinsons! Unfortunately, the energy ball mini game stumps me as I don't have a steady hand - no, I don't have Parkinsons (lol) - and so I powered off the device as there is no way to cancel a mini game and nothing in the instructions to tell you how to opt out of the game if you're really stuck! I hope it doesn't reappear when I switch on - I want to confront the Daleks!
Overall, a really good game, ideal for keeping the kids and adults alike amused, and makes an ideal gift for birthdays and Christmas. Well done - let's have some more Doctor Who maybe on PSP... - Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 November 2010This game is great, I may be over the target age for it but I'm a huge Doctor Who fan.
If you like puzzle games like Professor Layton then you'll be in familiar territory, it's like a Professor Layton game but Doctor Who based (same movement structure, character interaction, puzzles etc).
Some of the puzzles are quite easy but that's to be expected with the 3+ age guide on the cover. The trickier ones are the mini games where you have to guide energy balls without them getting destroyed.
I would put the age guide for this game much higher than 3+ (more like 7+) as I doubt a 3 year old could do most of the puzzles on their own (but I guess playing with a parent would be fine!)
Overall a great game! Ideal for Christmas! - Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 October 2012This is a good little game, packed full of puzzles and featuring the voice talents of Matt Smith and Karen Gillan as the Doctor and Amy.
Whilst it is a lot of fun and the cut-scenes are beautifully animated and voiced, the puzzles can get frustrating. None more so than the one puzzle which is unsolvable due to, I assume, a problem when it was programmed - the staff roster puzzle - so don't beat yourself up about it or spend hours trying to solve it because you won't be able to!
Having the real Doctor and Amy's voices makes this game a lot more fun and heightens the authenticity making it worth the money as a gift for the Doctor Who fan in your life. Just don't buy it for someone who doesn't like puzzles because that is really what this game is all about - jigsaw-like puzzles, sliding puzzles, spot-the-difference, verbal reasoning, maze-type puzzles etc. I wasn't expecting it to be so puzzle based but still had fun. It also doesn't take too long to complete (though some of the puzzles might take a while compared to others which are really simple). You can also go back over the puzzles at the end and watch the cut-scenes over again when finished the game - a nice touch especially if you've missed any out along the way.
All in all, a nice game ... if you like puzzles. - Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 January 2011I'm a huge Dr Who fan, I've watched it since I was a child, so because of that I decided I'd get the game, sorry to say it is a huge let down, I contacted the people concerned and have had no feed back what so ever, not good at all
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 September 2013Bought as a Christmas present, and despite having the magic Doctor Who symbols on it, didn't seem to make an appearance after Christmas. Not quite sure why it fails as a game, but if it doesn't draw my fanatical offspring in, I can't think it's going to work for anyone else either.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 September 2013Those who like the "Dr Layton" games will definitely like Dr Who. It's a game with a nice storyline and graphics, lots of puzzles to solve, which will keep you busy for days.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 March 2011This is so much better than the usual run of the mill game where you have to find numerous objects. That is nowe so boring and I am not playing them any more. A bit like Prof Layton, the Dr Who game has puzzles, some of which are really quite, well...er puzzling!! Havent finished it yet but am enjoying it so far.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 September 2011This was bought for my daughter who finished it quite quickly, she's only 9 years of age, so i had ago and found it to be a very simple game to complete. there is onyl one way to go through the game and the help you get in doing so makes it so easy to do, in fact a bit too easy to do.
There are one or two obsticles which can make you faulter but after a quick think you soon crack the code, so to speak, and away you go.
The graphics are pretty good and the voice overs are actually Smith and Gillan, (apparently), which gives the game a bit of credability, but as for playability it falls into the easy to boring section and, once completed, doesn't really appeal to the mind to have another go.
Luckily though Amazon have and offer where they will give you a voucher for certain games, this being one of them, so, if my daughter gives me the nod, i'll be taking them up on this offer, rather than have this game sat on the shelf
In all, not a bad game with some good graphic and game play, but a little too easy to complete and not one of those games you want to play again once completed

5.0 out of 5 starsFun for avid tween Whovian
Much-played game for young avid Doctor Who fan.
Worked FINE on a Nintendo 3DS although it was an older game.
There are a few spots that are tricky and he asked mom to help pass through (a particular slide-type puzzle of a computer chip comes to mind that took poor mom several HOURS to get right! Lol). From my recollection- a player needed to complete the puzzle in order to advance to next adventure. That was a bit frustrating for a younger player- but perhaps other young Doctor Who aficionados are better at puzzles than we are... - BoninReviewed in France on 4 January 2024

4.0 out of 5 starsGood game, works on US Nintendo DS systems
My son received this for Christmas and he really likes the game.. My biggest concern would be if this game would work on an American DS system... It does! So for all you Who fans, fear not. The game works great and is fun, and is true to the series. - RiandiereReviewed in France on 9 November 2013
