4.0 out of 5 stars
Positives:
The plot is brilliant, the writing is great, the acting is marvellous, the graphics are orgasmic and the comedy is genius.
Negatives:
A monkey could program a game more competently. This game is RIDDLED with glitches and bugs. River failing to respond, characters slipping through walls, autosaves and trophies causing the game to crash... And just now, I got killed by a Dalek and respawned at the start of the level again but the elevator I had to use failed to return to its default position - so I was permanently stuck! I couldn't even get another Dalek to turn around and shoot me dead - I had to wait five minutes while the timer counted down. I can stand losing because of my own ability, but not due to poor programming. This game could have been AMAZING if the programmers had done a better job. I'd love to know how the BETA testers actually went on. I bet they were either a bunch of yes-men, or were entirely ignored before release.
Final say:
Don't waste your money. Watch someone else play it on YouTube and treat it like watching an episode of Doctor Who. As an instalment in the series, it's fantastic. As a game, it's awful. The glitches and bugs are more frustrating than the game is entertaining. Sorry, Doctor Who team, but you failed as hard on this as you did with the final Adventure Games instalment. Try harder next time, please.

...................WARNING THIS GAME IS £14 FULL PRICE ON THE PLAYSTATION STORE.................
.................AND £15 BLU RAY VERSION WHEN I BOUGHT FROM AMAZON DIRECTLY ................
let me begin I'm a huge dr who fan since the 70's and I was so looking forward to this game.
things on youtube and press releases from the bbc and supermassive games made this game look desirable....so against my better judgment I risked a purchase from amazon.
(all doctor who games in the past have been poor)
I should have stuck to my instincts as this game is only marginally above the tat released on Nintendo's systems over the past few years.
1.......... the graphics look great yet the 3d gameplay is only to switch camera views.
Nothing wrong with 2d platforming as many a great game it has spawned EG:Mario,Sonic to name a couple.
But this left to right only gameplay is illogical considering you are forced to shimmy a pipe rather than just walk a direct path set out in front of you to get to a other side of the screen which seems stupid for the sake of a climbing bit and because the path goes round the background yet other levels it will follow the same easier paths?
2...........the controls are clumsy as if on roller skates.....it seems to be jittery at the best of times often leading to peril or a missed jump,you will overcome this after a bit.
3.........the puzzles are basic and repeat themselves over and over again......all 6 off them if memory serves me right.
And they will frustrate many a gamer with strict time limits not because they are hard but some need to be done very quickly or result in death.... Read more ›

Overall it is a great game, with a good story line, but it wasn't what i expected, the layout is 2D not a 3D environment, also expected more action than there was. The two player option selection is brilliant, and you both have a role to play there is no lead player, but you can often end up waiting for a while for the other person to complete their task when you both end up in separate places. And the puzzles are brilliant fun, and a tricky enough to enjoy but also get frustrated.
I would reccommened this game if you like Little Big Planet

this game has a lot of good points, but unfortunatly, it also has a lot of bad points too. wasn,t too sure about the side scrolling aspect of it when it was first mentioned, but its not too bad once you get used to it. having said that however, i would have preferred it to be just like the online adventure games.
the storyline was good, what you would expect for doctor who, and the graphics were excellant. one major problem was that you couldn,t save your game whenever you wanted, which can be frustrating when you complete a huge portion, only to go off, do something else, and have to go through it all over again from the beginning.
wasn,t really a fan of the puzzle element, as i found it to be time consuming and repetitive. i also hated the fact that you can die in confrontations with enemies, would rather have a straight forward adventure game in the same vein as the ones done by telltale games

This game is probably the best Doctor Who game and also the worst at the same time. The dialogue is great (even though there is a bug that causes the dialogue to cut out when the Doctor and River meet) and Matt and Alex give great voice performances. I love the references to previous adventures.
The gameplay is pretty good but some of the puzzles can be hard and the checkpoints aren't really spread out well enough.
The really bad thing about the game are the glitches mainly to do with the AI companion. I've had River get stuck and freeze causing me to restart levels. This hasn't just happened once but multiple times.
If you are experiancing glitches please contact:
games.support@bbc.com
Hopefully they'll do a patch to fix the problems.

Could be better
As a Doctor Who fan this game is like watching an episode, just a little longer than usual, but an episode, and that's good. But, the game itself has some important flaws. Read more

Very good effort by Supermassive
A quick 'heads-up': I got this off PSN due to a lot of stocked up credit. This somehow managed to run despite my HDD being nearly dead, so that in itself is amazing. Read more

Boring
Well I actually purchased this as a gift for a friend. She did not enjoy the game at all. There was very little to do in the game and is very basic. :o(

I am a huge fan of Doctor Who, both new and old. Let's just get that out of the way first shall we? But even as a fan, I cannot recommend this game. Read more
