The game is fun to play and very puzzling, and should provide a difficult game for even the most experienced player. Read Review

I found it very hard to get anywhere in Glider Rider and I suspect it will need a lot more practice to complete it than I have time for. Read Review

Very neat and original game featuring two levels of action. Astounding sound on the 128 tips it into classic status. Read Review
