As the game starts you select one of four characters, although as the game has four player 'pass the pad' multiplayer you can have all characters in one section, each with their own description which is pretty funny. From this opening the pure amusement and humour of the game come to the forefront and whilst the gameplay is simple brilliance – a style of game play that's often overlooked – it really is the games humour that makes this game stick out as something special.
Pocket Gamer: Blue Toad Murder Files doesn't feel like a port of a PS3 game. It feels like a title that's found its rightful home after a couple of years of wandering. The simple gameplay translates perfectly to the touchscreen of your iOS device, and the gentle pace is perfect for an evening spent reclining on the sofa.
It's by no means a perfect game, and there are some issues with load times in particular with this version, but if you're looking for a series of interconnected mini-games held together by comedy stereotypes then you're in for something of a treat.
