What players say

This is great. I've been hooked on Mr Driller lately, and this is one great game. 5 separate types of gameplay, with one of them being classic which you can spice up with different characters, and others providing unique challenge. Great story and voice acting. Whole visual representation is to p notch, you almost never would've guessed it's originally GC game. If you like puzzles, or just curious - it's no brainer...

Its fun for a bit but it's not as good as the PSX version, which I play almost every day in the toilet on a handheld. The movement and flow just isn't the same as this version, the PSX version is a masterpiece.
