This games is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I do not remember when was the last time that I enjoy so much a game. Catherine is perfect in very much senses. Great graphics, great puzzles, great sound and oustanding story. Besides, is a mature game, fun and interesting. Just it is a MASTERFUL PIECE.

Catherine is a great puzzle game. Don't let the other reviews fool you - it's not "like" some other game and it's not an RPG or RPG-esque game and it's MUCH more than some mini-game flash-fire phenom like "perturbed fowl".

You wont find a game as unique, addicting and creative as Catherine..in modern day gaming. A strange mix between challenging puzzles and dating sim where your decisions alter the outcome of the game.

The rating "mature" can be applied to any game with a gratuitous amount of violence, cursing, or sex, but Catherine is an M-rated game with a difference: It actually IS mature. It deals with many real-life situations, such as infidelity, obsession, and alcoholism.

Atlus latest release Catherine is the most mature game that i have came acrossed. There is not doubt that the game is full of sexual innuendo but the real sense of maturity comes from the subject matter that game covers.

For a game I spent a lot of time avoiding before E3, post-E3 I've written and talked a lot about Catherine . Like the game's blonde love interest, once you've had a taste of what the game offers, it is really hard to stay away.

Basically, and briefly, as I age (nearly 40) I am truly growing tired of my favorite pastimes inability to keep me interested. Once in a while something comes along that while not triple A in gameplay, is presented in such a unique and trend bucking way that my imagination is once again captured.

Catherine is an unprecedented exploration of the pleasures and horrors of love. As Vincent, a man recently succumbed to the irresistible beauty of the game's titular diversion players find themselves swept into a treacherous love triangle.

Editor's note: Catherine is released in Europe this week. Here we present our review of the North American release of the game, first published in July last year. To the best of our knowledge it's still accurate with respect to the European version.

Atlus has created a challenging, clever title that explores complex issues and marries them to solid gameplay. Catherine is a surprisingly good game.

Intriguing plot, good presentation and voice acting; Moderately high degree of difficulty; Extra challenge levels available outside the main campaign; Hypnotic title screen

The social interaction aspect isn't for everyone; some of the cut-scenes drag; some choices present a blatant false dichotomy while others appear superfluous
