Player's Review
Based on the TV show franchise. Follow the 11th Doctor along with his partner Amy Pond as they go on a mission to return themselves to Earth.
This game feels like it was severely rushed, which is probably the reason why it has a lot of bugs, noticeable in most of the areas where framerate is just horrible, and the worst part is that the developers did not care at all about optimizing the whole game. And guess what? It EVEN happens on real hardware!! In the gameplay aspect it also has flaws as well, there are times where your character can accidentally fall to their death, which is obviously worsened by the horrible framerate.
At the end of a level you get to play either one of the very basic minigames, one is where you use the Sonic Screwdriver to fix an electrical box, and a second one where you have to survive from asteroids. By the way, the aforementioned device can also be used to explode the color balloons that either unlock new areas or activate traps to kill any enemy that obstructs your path.
As for the soundtrack, it is from Series 4 and 5, that can be heard in the background during stages and in FMV cutscenes. At the end of the video I include a gallery which is just artwork.
