Ross @ FG: Exception is a fantastic if flawed platformer that will catch your eye when you're not even looking. The Finger Guns Review.
All in all, Exception is a great game to pick up and play. It doesn’t involve a lot of thinking, just quick reflexes and the ability to push the right buttons at the right time. The level transformation allows for some unique platforming styles to flourish. There is, however, plenty of room for improvement.
TSA writes: Taking a leaf from the world of Tron, Exception is a fast paced platformer where the main character is a Thread in an old lady’s computer. Unfortunately, this old lady has downloaded a virus which has transformed the thread world, where everything once was about making sure the computer was running fine to one where a virus has convinced the rest of the population to carry out processes that are actively harming the world. As one of the few Threads that hasn’t succumbed to the virus your character is tasked with restoring order by going through different nodes and restoring the system. The story itself is alright but is there to mainly get you from one level to another. It takes a back seat to a game that is a visual feast.
Aaron plays some Exception in an attempt to clean physical and electrical house.
