Mari Shishido of Capsule Computers writes: "The Johnny series has two previous installments that has had a generally positive reception. The games revolve around Johnny in different roles and even game genres. This particular game shows Johnny in the role of a non combative spy that must rely on his stealth skills rather than taking down enemies. The game certainly starts of strong, giving the player high hopes for the rest of the game, but degrades over time."
PixlBit | "The 3DS eShop can be a dangerous place. Littered with just as much shovelware as gems, it can be tough to know what you're getting into after a brief skimming of the media associated with a given title. In the case of Johnny Impossible, the association with publisher UFO should already be enough to make your spidey-sense tingle, but if you’re still on the fence given its Metroidvania gameplay, let me assure you, it’s no diamond in the rough."
As the saying goes, the third time's the charm. Johnny Impossible is the third entry in publisher UFO Interactive's Johnny video game series. Well, a charm of a game it certainly is not; but neither is it completely impossible for gamers to find at least a slight bit of enjoyment from it.
Before you know it, that big stack of unplayed wonders turns into a plastic bag bound for the used videogame store. Worst of all, that time comes in January, a sad time of year when new releases grind to a halt and you find yourself doing things like talking to a friend in person rather than through an electronic device. Yikes! Who needs that? Well, good news folks. Nintendo seems to know it too and now is as good a time as any to pick up that 3DS and plunge yourself into the joys of the eShop.
