Product Description Critter Crunch is an award winning, arcade-style puzzle game, starring the loveable Biggs. Using his long, sticky tongue to grab critters from vines above, he feeds them to each other until they burst, dropping tasty jewels for him to gobble up. With the intuitive Food Chain mechanic, players will eat their way through a smorgasbord of levels and gorge on a feast of modes, including Co-op and Versus multiplayer.• Stunning Visuals: Hand-animated characters and backgrounds come to life in gorgeous 1080p at 60fps. • 4 Single-Player modes: Adventure, Puzzle, Challenge and Survival offer something for everyone! • 2 Multiplayer Modes: Team up with a friend in Co-op or battle each other in Versus. Both modes are playable locally or on the PlayStation®Network. • Addictive puzzle fun: With the unique Food Chain mechanic, players feed smaller critters to larger ones to make them pop! The longer the chain, the larger the reward! • Tons of variety: Power Ups and Special Critters keep things fresh and offer new challenges. Full HD 1080p requires a HDMI cable and a 1080p native display with an HDMI input supporting HDCP.

Minutes to learn, a lifetime to master March 1, 2010 J. Lee (Morristown, NJ) PROS: easy to learn, varied modes of play
CONS: incredibly addictive (should be a controlled substance)
One of the finest video games I have ever played! The gameplay is remarkably varied (Adventure, Puzzle, Co-op, Challenge) with basic underpinnings that are easy to learn. Instructions embedded within the game are clear.
I started out with the Adventure mode, which is now on hiatus -- in favor of challenging players online. As the other reviews before me have stated, Critter Crunch is beautifully designed and a truly fun game to play. At $7 a download, this is a steal.
One crunch and you'll be hooked. February 14, 2010 Piano Quartz 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
You know that feeling when a game just flows? When the controls are just right, every button press feels meaty and crisp, and every interaction you make with the game world just has a certain, well, crunch to it? That's where Critter Crunch starts. Its foundations are just spot-on; everything feels exquisitely polished from the little details of your goofily grinning, fuzzy Biggs character to the subtle animations of strange tropical birds singing in the game's lushly illustrated backgrounds. Even the most elementary of puzzle games would be fun if they started out this good.
But Critter Crunch doesn't stop there. It keeps building on its simple premise -- feed small critters to larger critters until they pop so you can collect their delicious crystals (the game has a hilariously madcap nature-documentary theme that attempts, at various points, to explain the biology of this). First it introduces combos, then exploding critters, then combo-linking critters, on to vegetarian critters and toxic critters, all the time adding new dynamics to the gameplay. The later levels get pretty complex, but they never quite cross the line into frustrating, and your mind will be getting a good workout as you rush to build massive chain-reactions of exploding critters.
And you don't have to rush all the time, either. There are relaxed, no-time-limit brainteaser levels, standard, on-your-toes action levels, and frenetic, I-can't-believe-I-just-did-that challenge levels. There's always a gameplay style for how energetic you're feeling when you sit down to play. And the way the levels are structured, you can play for as long as you want. Switch on the PS3 for five minutes before you go out, or stay up for a late night of crunching away at the online rankings. For such an addictive game, Critter Crunch isn't very demanding on your time -- although the ease of fitting it into your schedule makes it all the easier to let the hours stack up with this brilliant game.
So many bogus reviews to choose from, hmmmmm. February 12, 2010 Philip Brown (D.C.) 1 out of 17 found this review helpful
How is it that such a "little" game has so many 5-star reviews in such a short period of time?!? Not to say that it's a bad game; I was about to buy it when it occurs to me to be so strange to see so many rave reviews, many by people who seem to have nothing better to do that post rave reviews on seemingly random items. The review system is supposed to a legitimate means of getting experiential information from consumers TO consumers. But is has become perverted and bastardized into a system when ghost writers (aka shills) game the system by posting good or bad reviews for $10-20 a pop for the sole purpose of providing biased disinformation aimed at effecting sales. And the worst part is that just about everyone does it so that makes it ok. No point in having a service like this once it becomes infested.
An especially well made casual game February 10, 2010 Craig (Hayward, CA USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The fifth star is for the bargain price. This is a very well done game.
It's simple - a basic formula with added twists gradually added - but a very nice combination of outstanding puzzles and 'platform' style gameplay.
It's what you want from this type of game - addicting - and more, diverse with the puzzles. It's great how they've made those puzzles with less frustration - a few moves to solve but fun to determine them.
The games seem to go from 'easy' the first half to 'too hard' about half way through on some levels - where you can beat the earlier levels by playing them, the later ones seem to rely a lot on luck as you try dozens of times waiting for the right random creatures. Some challenge levels can seen neigh impossible.
One tip: the game looks like when you hit a new level, you have to beat the first three 'normal' games to get to the puzzle and 'challenge' games on the right, but you can just skip over to them - and beat any 3 of the 5 games to get past the 5.
The music and sound effects are average, what you would expect. The 'cute' factor is the type present in so many of these games, too much for my taste but no big deal.
Its great things are the addicting 'action' gameplay and - my favorite - the well done puzzles.
I think it's one of the best PS3 bargains I've seen.
