18 reviews for Mouse: P.I. For Hire – Nintendo Switch 2

  1. Nintedy (verified owner) –

    Great Addition To The Switch 2 Library. – Definitely an addictive game both for the graphical quality as well as the gameplay and story. Also appreciated is that the game is fully on the cartridge and not a keycard so another big plus for that. The game will definitely remind gamers who either grew up during this style of FPS or those just coming into this genre as it plays a lot like the late 80’s early 90’s FPS like Doom and other games during those decades. For the price it’s a no brainer and one that should be quickly picked up before it’s too late as other gamers are sure to be getting their copies as well as unfortunately scalpers looking to make a few sleazy bucks.

    Astounding Products – This product itself was immaculate. The sleek packaging the beautiful pristine condition I recieved it in was so beautiful. On top of all that the product itself is astounding.

  3. FOXXRAIN (verified owner) –

    AWESOME – if you like boomer shooters, noir and the Cuphead animated look then this is for you

  4. COLLINV (verified owner) –

    Fun art style and gameplay – Fun and well realized artstyle, punny and referential dialogue. Gameplay takes most of its cues from Doom, both old and new, with a dash of Bioshock, and is very solid, even if not *quite* up to their level

  5. Slam (verified owner) –

    Easy recommend – Super fun so far and addicting. About 5 hours in. I’m having a great time with it, fluid and runs flawlessly on switch

  6. KenJF (verified owner) –

    Something new – Really enjoyed it. Fun game with a lot of tongue in check easter eggs and a noir flare.

  7. RONNIEC (verified owner) –

    Mouse P.I. – Great game! Nice action game and shooter. Finding clues in each level is fun.

  8. CrashBandicoot5091 (verified owner) –

    Fun Old School Shooter with Style – If you love old cartoons and film noir you will love this game. I would say it feels sometimes like style above substance, as it’s basically just a run and gun first person shooter. There are some detective elements but it’s not as elaborate as I would’ve liked. Very fun cool game and really challenging at times, definitely recommend it. Also full game on cartridge! Physical media forever.

  9. BRANDONS (verified owner) –

    Love this game – I got my product on time an in good condition.im glad i was able to get this game on switch it was cheaper here

  10. egmorro1984 (verified owner) –

    Very fun game!! – Great game nintendo switch 2 is soo awesome i recommend this game to everyone.

  11. SharkbyteJG (verified owner) –

    All Style No Substance – The game is beautifully animated but it gets boring rather quickly. The majority of the gameplay consists of shooting until you clear a room, flipping switches and a lock picking minigame. All of these are done over and over again until they become stale. The game is not very long but I found myself wanting it to end sooner. While there are no glaring flaws with the gameplay aside from how repetitive it is I find this game difficult to recommend.

  12. DUSTINB (verified owner) –

    Mouse PI – Animation is gorgeous and really takes me back, they did a good job with that.

  13. IsmailKidd (verified owner) –

    Fun and Modern Nostalgja – It gives amazing nostalgia in modern style. The art is amazing and gameplay smooth and fully physical copy.

  14. RILEYC (verified owner) –

    Great PHYSICAL game – Good value to have a switch 2 game full on cartridge. Fun to play.

  15. HydroBomb92 (verified owner) –

    Great fun game! – Super fun 50’s gangster era cartoon game with a great story line and game mechanics.
    Switch 2 performs and gives great graphics like a champ! 10/10 recommend

  16. JOSHUAH (verified owner) –

    Fun and Looks Good – Fun game with quippy dialogue and easy to maneuver controls. I enjoy the esthetic that it brings and look forward to finishing the game.

  17. TimothyP (verified owner) –

    Mouse Pi – Game runs smoothly have on PS5 as well. Like the option to play in handheld.

  18. ROBERTR (verified owner) –

    1930s funny – The game was easy to use, offline. I plugged the game in and could play like anygameboy game. The black and white is similar to “steamboat mickey”; with comical rats bouncin, kicken, and shootin. The game is more for adults since the shooting and what happens to the enemy. Great 1930s feeling with sights and sounds of the era. The style is laid back and linear, with characters appearing as a 2-dimensional paper cartoon, which turns and faces you at all times. The environments got a few places to explore and in a 3-dimensional city. Action at yer pace.
