“[...]a successful sequel[...]” (GameStar)
“The plot about the extraterrestrials and subterrestrials (a mysterious group of moles) ties the overall story together very well. We also encountered some old friends like the Swampling, Goldilocks, the feministic Little Red Riding Hood, and the wolf.” (GameStar)
Computer Bild Spiele 4/2009 - Overall score: 2.48 (Good)
“Truly funny PC games are as rare as gamers who don’t like frozen pizza. The new Simon is not really a highfrequent joke, but still has a lot of areas who will even make the most stubborn Tester laugh - quite an accomplishment.”
“Everyone of the voice talents is very professional and well casted.”
Games TM 05/2009 - Overall score: 8,0

“It is a great game because of thankfully nice optics and well balanced degree of difficulty.”
„I like the sense of Simon’s humour, he made me laugh many times and he also was able to conjure some real cynically grins in my face.”
„I felt constantly entertained and that is what matters at the end.”

Game Captain - Overall score: 84%
“Simon is even in his fifth adventure still performing very well. The puzzles are fun and require only a little bit of mental work to solve. An excellent idea in this context is the questbook which is filled with lots of hints.”
“Some very well done characters. I especially like the kind of mean Little Red Riding Hood. If these are the kind of characters you already liked in the previous games, you will also like the new game.” (PC Games)
