By Jason StettnerAlfred Hitchcock – Vertigo provides an exciting story that goes deep into the darkest depths of crazed obsession, but is stuck within a rough shell featuring poorly aged mechanics and presentation.
TheSixthAxis
By Adrian BurrowsAfter a thrilling opening, Alfred Hitchcock Vertigo descends into utter farce. This awkward attempt at a narrative adventure is hampered by ridiculously long loading times, terrible animation, and awkward vocal performances. Give this one a wide birth and just go watch the film instead.

By Panagiotis PetropoulosAlfred Hitchcock: Vertigo attempts to adapt the screenplay of the film of the same name by this great director, being a mediocre adventure game, with tedious ups and downs in its pace.
Hey Poor Player
By Andrew ThorntonAt times the story of Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo can be interesting, but it never fully comes together. Succeeding neither as an homage to a great director’s work or on its own terms, it might be better served if it didn’t have the expectations its name provides, but that wouldn’t make it a great game. There are simply better adventure games more worth your time available this year.

ByVertigo can't really live up to its name. It's an interesting adventure with some well made plot-twists, but it is one you will soon forget.
