NWR writes: "Is insomnia getting you down? Prescriptions drugs can be expensive. Inkheart for the DS is far cheaper, and works just as well! Inkheart is a point-and-tap adventure game based on the recent Brendan Fraser movie that, in turn, is adapted from a children's book. In the story, Frasier's character can make objects and people from books come to life just by reading them aloud. If he wanted to, he could make Jurassic Park a reality. You'd think that would make for a pretty kick-ass video game, but you'd be very wrong. I've reviewed pure, unadulterated crap before, but it's only sent me into a violent rage. Inkheart does the opposite: it numbs the palate until you fall into a waking slumber."
WP: "It's hard to imagine that a game about great writing come to life could feature stiff, bland characters with completely wooden and unnatural dialogue and no compelling action. Instead of instilling an interesting in literature, Inkheart makes boring fiction writhe and suffer on the Nintendo DS' two tiny screens."
Snackbar Games writes: "Inkheart for the DS is attempting to capture the magic of the movie based on the book (about a book), but the problem is that a video game, especially one with such terrible graphics, isn't an appropriate medium to do so".
Gamernode writes: "Books and movies don't often translate into magnificent videogames, and Inkheart is no exception. This DS adventure will not be winning any GN Nodie Awards this year, yet still maintains a few redeeming qualities and will appeal to less experienced gamers."
