Does anybody have this game? Has anybody seen it?

It was reviewed in the June OUSPSM magazine. Sounds like a fun little game (I love puzzle games, especially when they're $10) and I've been looking for it. Haven't seen it anywhere. I was wondering if maybe it just hastn't hit stores yet? It's on EB's website and seems to be available, but I'd rather avoid paying USDs and shipping and what have you.

Anybody? Anybody? Bueller?

It's been out for about a month at EB, Gamestop, Toys R Us (included in their buy 1, get 1 free deal even) Best Buy, etc.

It's a Natsume import of an Art Dink game, but I haven't had a chance to sit down and play it yet.

I've checked more than a couple EBs (like at least 4) and I haven't seen it. Maybe it didn't get released in Canada. Or maybe they only had one and it's gone everywhere I've been?

Anybody in Ontario found one?

I've only seen the game at Toy R Us and Best Buy. It is a pretty addicting puzzler. You have unlimited moves to beat each level and once you do it saves how many moves it took you to clear it. You can then attempt to clear it in less moves. The game starts with 50 levels to choose from, clear those it unlocks 50 more, then I believe 50 more after that.

cool game if you can find it. I'll keep an eye out for it if you want.

It is a pretty addicting puzzler.

That's an understatement. It's yet another entry in the digital CRACK category - especially if you like logic-flavored puzzle games.

I'll write a full review on my site...as soon...as I...stop...playing...Turnabout!

I got mine at Best Buy for 9.99. It looked cool.

It's AWESOME. Like PDF said, it's beyond just addictive, it's one of those games where you have to go one more level, and when you get stuck you simply can't walk away because you're SO close. Of all the PSX releases in the past year, this is by far my favorite $10 title.

Or $8, if you buy it at EBworld.com:

You guys are *killing* me. I knew, after reading about it, it'd be perfect for my portable PSone-ing...

It's just not available here in Canada as far as I can tell. I'd order it from EBWorld, but they want *$17* for delivery. Which makes it almost $40 for me (after conversion). That's *ridiculous*.

I've asked K8Track to take a look around for me and pick up a copy to trade to me. He's a busy guy though so I haven't heard back yet. Either of you guys want to work something simple out in a trade? I *WANT* this game (oddly enough, more than anything for the newer systems at this point).

You know you have too many games, when you have to check your game list to see if you own the title so you can try it for the first time! ;)

I like this game ALOT! I'm biassed thou, cuz I love puzzle games.

I've also seen this one at Toys R Us & Best Buy. In fact I was in BB last night and they still had a couple copies. It's been awhile since I was in TRS thou, but it'd work out cheaper there as it's a buy1 get 1 free. If you like I can run by there today and pick one up if need be.

Just a heads-up - the TRU buy 1/get 1 free deal ended on 6-14, but if your stores are still honoring it, please post! :)
