CheatCC says: "Hardcore puzzle fans who also like to dig into adventure titles now and then will find Safecracker to be quite a refreshing and enjoyable challenge - one that can be gruelingly difficult at times. The variety found in most puzzles is enough to keep players from getting bored in that area, though folks used to more excitement and stimulation may find the game lacking. Players with only a passing interest in tough puzzles with a mild adventure flavor should steer clear. Otherwise, it's a good title that fits a very specific niche."

148apps - Safe Cracker, although theoretically based on a good idea, falls short on delivering the bank heist experience that most will be expecting. It's repetitive levels and looping soundtrack certainly don't help.

It's safe to say this wouldn't even be seeing a release on DS without the popularity of Professor Layton, but the two couldn't be more different. Layton is full of character, class and polish; Safecracker is a musty antique, lacking any spark or wit. Do yourself a favour and grab one of the DS's many other accomplished puzzle games before attempting to crack this one.
