Small Radios Big Televisions Reviews
Imagine if the format wars created a video game.
Small Radios, Big Televisions might be small in scale but it's large in impact.
Small Radios Big Televisions is a different kind of experience for sure and it isn't for everyone. If you like adventure games with challenge this isn't for you and if you like games with clear stories this isn't for you either. If you want a point-and-click adventure game that is easy to get through with a wonderful, soothing soundtrack than you should give Small Radios Big Televisions a shot.
Small Radios Big Televisions is a good game to wind-down and play after a tough day.
While overall short, mild control issues, and a little bit of repetitive puzzles solving it delivers a bizarre and fun ride. This game begs to be fleshed out into something much bigger. But if you are a puzzle fan and would enjoy a short endeavor into Small Radios Big Televisions, grab your tape deck and press play.
There's a creative idea behind it all, but it barely manages to mask the monotonous, frustrating and illogical gameplay.

When I first sat down to play my copy of Small Radios, Big Televisions, my faith was already in the Adult Swim brand. Coming a long way since the day of flash games, this network-born publisher cradles creativity. When you play an Adult Swim game, it very much feels like someone gave the reins over and said "Hey, great idea my indie friend. Let's take it and run with it." Rarely am I ever disappointed by anything coming out with the AS name attached.
Excellent presentation alone doesn't make a great game, and without a real hook to pull players into the experience, Small Radios Big Televisions feels like a teaser for something that could have been much more than the sum of its parts.
