Crush by Kuju/Sega

Finally an interesting game on the PSP. Really tasty and original puzzle mechanic - flattening the 3D scene into a 2D orthographic view, which then behaves as if its a standard 2D platformer. Pull out of the view and your location will have changed to the corresponding platform within the 3D scene.

    [...] Wow. Developed by internal Sony studios (SCEI), this puzzle title for PSP and PS3 (downloadable) picks up from Kuju/Zoe Mode’s Crush and takes gives it an M.C. Escher flavoured remix. By rotating the camera to a new fixed position, the behaviour of the 3D environment alters radically. Clever use of an orthographic projection allow for different paths in entirely seperate sections to combine to form a new single path. A beautiful, elegant bit of game design. Love it. [...]
