Unique and charming, with a vibe that evokes Banjo-Kazooie and its many imitators. Tearaway does a great job of showcasing the PS Vita's unique feature set, but there is very little depth to the gameplay itself. I also found many of the touch controls to be frustrating, especially drawing coherent shapes in the paper-cutting minigame. Shoving my finger "through" the screen was a really cool feeling, but I definitely did not enjoy seeing my bored face superimposed in the sky.

Tearaway charms with its innovative use of the PlayStation Vita's features and creative paper-craft world, but its simplistic gameplay and short length might not satisfy all players.
