The resulting journey is so singularly devoted to creating a specific tone and atmosphere that you won't likely be able to stop thinking about it until long after you've seen it through to the end.

Like an exceptionally well-done dramatic movie or must-read book just too good to stop watching or put down, Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons has striking visuals, a strong narrative and good-enough puzzles. However, it will be most remembered for its engrossing, dramatic and emotionally charged adventure.

Brilliant, beautiful, and simple! There is nothing like this game and it should be experienced by everyone from casual gamers to the ****'sa shot and touching tale that aged like a fine wine.

I like how short and to-the-point this was. + I think most people will remember the iconic spoiler scene for a long time.
+ The brevity does not overstay its welcome.

A stunning adventure, a powerful trip blessed by an incredible art direction and the first "single player cooperative game". It's not perfect and it's short, but it's worth a ride.

Brothers is a beautiful tale of love and loss, a great way to kick off the Summer of Arcade.

Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons offers one of the most original and refreshing ideas of 2013, and any fan of games that dare to be different has to try this one out.

My only real complaint is that 1200 points may be a bit steep for a game that can be finished in a few sittings and has minimal replay value. Still, it’s a good start to the Summer of Arcade, and anyone looking for something different will do well to check it out.

While Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons occasionally succeeds in tugging at the heartstrings, there’s a heavy-handedness that runs through a good portion of the drama—and that’s off-putting. The unique controls take too long to get used to (considering this is only a three-hour experience), and the puzzles are simple and repetitive. The aesthetics are definitely pleasing, however.

I love this **** story is very touching and even the game play is good.I will give it a score of 7/10 don't think that the score is low because not many Xbox 360 games that I reviewed is not that high.I am telling you guys to go buy this game and try playing it.

A touching and emotional journey that stands out for its innovative gameplay mechanic — controlling both brothers simultaneously to solve puzzles. The story is simple yet heartfelt, delivering a beautiful narrative through gameplay rather than dialogue. While it’s short and sometimes mechanically clunky, the unique approach makes it a memorable experience
