The game actually starts off promisingly enough. While the Doctor’s sections tend to feature slightly more block pushing and River’s features some awful stealth gameplay, the differences are minimal. Developers Supermassive Games are most known for their LBP expansion packs and it is certainly that game that Eternity Clock draws the most influence from. So what we have got here? The plot switches between the Doctor and River Song, voiced by Matt Smith and Alex Kingston respectively, as they bop along in their sub- Little Big Planet gameplay adventures. It certainly reads like some sort of overwrought and ultimately hollow season finale “event.” The rather bare bones plot sees the TARDIS make an emergency landing on Earth due to a “time storm” and from then on it’s basically every over-the-top all-star fan fiction as Cybermen, Daleks, Silent and more show up for various reasons, necessitating a visit to the Eternity Clock, some sort of giant depository of all time and events that probably contradicts a million Doctor Who stories and audio books.

The Eternity Clock is a 2D platformer on a 3D plane with some for-the-most-part uninspiring puzzles to break up the monotony somewhat. If that makes it worth twenty of your preferred currency unit then so be it, you won’t really need a review to tell you what to do. Second, it is the best Doctor Who game ever. Two things need to be said about Doctor Who: The Eternity Clock. Still, that’s OK, the TARDIS often misses its target dates by much larger margins.

Doctor Who: The Eternity Clock finally arrives on the PlayStation Network, with later releases planned for the Vita and the PC, after missing its original release date by about a month.
