gamertell echochrome logo and screenTitle: Echochrome
Price: $9.99
System(s): PS3 (PSP)
Release Date: May 1, 2008
Publisher (Developer): Sony Computer Entertainment America Inc. (Sony)
ESRB Rating: “Everyone”
Pros: An innovative use of relatively intuitive controls, cohesive artsy atmosphere and wonderfully challenging platform puzzles. Surprisingly addictive.
Cons: Might make you a bit dizzy and large levels make the avatar too small to easily see.
Overall Score: Two thumbs up; 90/100; A-; * * * * out of 5.
