"Brain Age" is the type of game that makes you react; this is a game that makes you think--and even punishes trial and error (which I found out the hard way). [July 2007, p.96]

PQ2, like its predecessor, takes this simple idea and shapes it into an entertaining puzzle-solving experience. [July 2007, p.84]

PIQ2 is themed around measuring intelligence, but all it ends up doing is testing rote memorization and dexterity. [July 2007, p.63]

This seems really lazy. You can just play Catherine on steam, ps3, or/and switch and get the exact same experience. With the added benefit of music, beautiful graphics/arts, storyline, etc . . .

PQ2 is not only exceptionally good, it looks like it'll have an almost supernatural longevity, an essentially limitless amount of replay value. It's easily one of the best puzzle games (if not the best) on the PSP.

The puzzles are plentiful and challenging, but the dull looks and worthy brain-training angle make this a dull slog. [Oct 2007, p.113]
