The Critics  
Rise of the arbitrary mascot
The last of our THQ-published Game Boy Advance quartet sets its sights on establishing a faithful Pants puzzlin' hardcore...
"A pure puzzle game in the tradition of Tetris and Dr. Mario, developer Rare's latest project is an addictive and oddly likeable revisitation of the genre's heyday... From the unique characters to the heavily crayon-influenced visuals, the trimmings around the actual puzzles are just as inviting as the core gameplay." - Game Informer
"A fun type of puzzle game not seen in a while with a goofy sensibility as well." - GameSpy
"It's a simple concept that works on many levels, and Rare takes this idea as far as it can with a deep and addictive GBA presentation that's as challenging as it is wacky. Not many game designers can get away with filling the screen with a bunch of colored underpants every five seconds, but Rare does it in style." - IGN
"The puzzles are incredibly easy at first, but they grow in complexity at a good clip. It's odd, tricky and funny." - Nintendo Power
"The offbeat visuals and hilarious commentary from Mr. Pants will draw you in, but it's the classic puzzle goodness that will keep you coming back for more... You'll crack your first smile looking at the title screen, but it certainly won't be your last." - DS Central
"It's Mr Pants is one of those unpretentious pure puzzlers that relies on little more than an ingenious idea to lure you in, and on that basis deserves the very heartiest of applause. With the same sort of instant appeal and practically infinite replayability of Tetris, it joins the pantheon of puzzle gods and goes down as another GBA must-buy - so long as the lack of multiplayer doesn't irk you." - Eurogamer

"Substances were most likely consumed in the board room during the company's pitch for the game, but you know, it's this tripped-out exhibition that gives It's Mr. Pants a unique personality that shouldn't be missed." - IGN
