[PS3, X360] Review Roundup - Catherine
1UP - A - "In an era increasingly defined by developers' ever-growing fear of creating anything that isn't a safe, conservative million-seller, Atlus' willingness to create and publish something as unique as this is truly commendable. Best of all, it's not just a weird game -- it's a great one, too. "

Destructoid - 9/10 - "A fantastic experience with a simple, fun and challenging arcade game at its core. It should not be missed by anyone who wants to enjoy a story with the emotional depth to match its adult themes and with multiple endings and side stories to resolve, there's a fair bit of inducement to return for a second or third pass. The action of the tower climbing is superb."

IGN - 9/10 - "I loved my time with Catherine. In many ways, I was completely blown-away by it. While I'm sure some gamers will be turned-off by its anime-style presentation and difficult gameplay, I implore those of you who are looking for something authentically different and outright fun to give Catherine a go."

Gamespot - 8.5/10 - "But such silliness is the exception in Catherine, rather than the rule. This story-heavy puzzler is mature and occasionally profound, exploring themes like sexual fidelity, personal responsibility, and trust. Catherine doesn't just challenge your hand/eye coordination: It challenges your intellect and your emotions."

GamePro - 4/5 - "Catherine is a game that's about, and made for, mature gamers. Not necessarily because of the story, but more because it's a short, tight design with challenging puzzles that seem to want you to call it a night after finishing just one. It's the kind of thing for adults who aren't as into games as they used to be. They'd have to crank it down to Easy, but that's okay. Anybody else can like it just fine."
