"This book is pretty good, but it needs landscape mode like the other books from this developer have. Other than that, it`s just what I`d expect from Tin Man Games!"

"Ehhh, humor was fun but a bit too expectedly whacky. Rather obsessed with social justice, which is good where it gets things right, but wearying after a while. It`s rather insultung towards the original work that Hamlet is called sexist for disliking Gertrude for being disloyal, which is framed as him and his father being angry with her for expressing female sexuality, would this criticism really be there if it was one woman murdering a Queen and stealing the King Consort and the King almost immediately ceases grieving and is happy?), and Hamlet`s father is a ghost and thus assumed to be capable of revenge and a bad person for trying to get his son to avenge him when he obviously does not have such a capability in the original story, and the consequences of regicide and the theft of a crown are downplayed in favor of focusing on what a bad person the King is for wanting justice and his son to inherit the crown. Also lacks the ability to go to the exact checkpoint."

"I was hesitant to pick this up. How interesting could a Hamlet CYOA be? The answer is f`n hilarious. Its really well written with great art, totally makes fun of the modern pretention surrounding Shakespeare and all the chars in the play. Even of youre not interested in Shakespeare (like me) the gamebook is still worth getting. If you ever wanted the ghost of hamlets dad to revenge himself by becoming corporeal inside Claudius and exploding him, nows your chance!"

"This is an excellent game. Many possible endings which gives this great replayability. I literally became a ghost and found a pirate ship because I decided to walk across the ocean floor. Speaking of pirates there was an epic pirate battle. This book has so many different layers of complexity and you can pick from three different characters all in the same world. I picked the old guy first thinking I would get an easy playthrough and instead had quite the surprise. Highly recommend. Great Game."

"Strongly recommended that you read/watch the original version (Kenneth Branagh`s film version is long, but easily accessible) before playing. However, there are tons of inside references to the original works, and the comedic timing of the adventure-choosing (as vast as it is) is spot-on and razor sharp. A must buy for high-school/college students that have studied Hamlet in the past!"

"Nice design and idea, but the game itself I found boring, bordering on tedious. Based on the reviews I expected to love it. In fact I uninstalled it within the hour."

"If you loved the book, or if you wanted to read it but books don`t do it for you, this game has it! All the pages are broken into digestible pieces (`paragraphs`) and you get to touch the screen to see new ones. Then, when there is a path to be chosen, I forgot to mention there`s a Shakespearean piano type melody playing. You can turn that off in ``options`` if you want but I like it so anyway, you can CHOOSE the path you want! I`m almost out of space for reviewing."

``...an idea that is, by most conventional literary standards, terrible, but pushed so far past terrible that it wraps around like a comet slingshotting around the sun and comes back as utterly brilliant.`` - Time
``To Be Or Not To Be truly is one of the most purely-entertaining experiences of the year, because Ryan North manages to both live up to my expectations with his take on this literary classic, and also manage to go to places that I just did not expect.`` - Touch Arcade - 5/5 stars
