Just as it did on Vita, the genius behind Tearaway's design philosophy shines on PlayStation 4. Tearaway: Unfolded for the PS4 isn't a remaster or port, it's a game remade from the ground up for a new platform.

Clever and holistic use of the PlayStation 4's features; Heartfelt and thought-provoking themes of creativity and personal storytelling; Charming and endearing humor and tone; Budget title at $40

Some of the original game's features are relegated to a companion app; Still a relatively short game

Tearaway is a really unique game with a truly unique story. I was impressed by its world when I first got a gli...

The Vita-exclusive has dared to step over to console. So does the handheld masterpiece have to make compromises to fit its new home?

More than a mere HD remaster, Media Molecule has rebuilt its Vita classic with entirely new gameplay for the PlayStation 4.

If you didn't know already, I don't think you'd tweak that Tearaway Unfolded started life on the PS Vita. As one of the handheld's premiere titles, Media Molecule made great use of in-built camera, touch screen and rear touchpad, yet now on PS4 it's as if it was meant to be here all along.

A noble effort to recreate one of the PS Vita's best games on a home console, but the end result never feels quite as elegant or organic as the original.

Incredible presentation and wonderfully realised graphics; Clever use of the DualShock 4 and PlayStation app to create different inputs and customisation options

Many of the mechanics, particularly the combat, are fairly superficial; Almost none of the control gimmicks work quite as well as the original and the pacing is considerably worse

After spending a weekend playing Tearaway Unfolded I'm starting to understand how acid heads feel after one of those life altering trips you hear about. I have to keep checking myself from grabbing the nearest person by the collar, shaking them, and yelling into their face, "You don't understand!

Tearaway Unfolded on PS4 really blurs the boundaries of our world and the virtual world with some modern platforming mechanics

Tearaway Unfolded is a charming, creative and just plain fun platforming game filled to the brim with customisation, creation and puzzle-solving. For returning fans, you'll enjoy discovering all the new and redone content that Media Molecule put the effort in to differentiate it from just being a...

+ New/completely remade content; + 1080p/60fps makes graphics even more gorgeous; + Huge amount of creation and customisation

- Touchpad too finicky for drawing; - Scraps battles get old quick; - No item to aid post-game collection

If you played Tearaway , you already know it's easily one of the best games for the PlayStation Vita. While I won't ever deny LittleBigPlanet 's appeal and charm, I will probably always see it as a robust set of innovative creation tools that happen to come with a game that's as dull as it is...
