Doctor Who fans will enjoy this game more than the average person but don’t let the theme fool you, it’s seems like a pretty entertaining game so far regardless if you are a fan or not. Doctor Who: The Mazes of Time comes in two version: a free worldwide version which comes with additional downloadable content and a UK version which will cost you a little and also comes with additional downloadable content as well. The free version is the full game though.
Side Note: The addition content is not free and is non-refundable. There are some issues with the additional content not working on some devices while others seem to be having force close issues. Hopefully the BBC will update this with a fix for those devices.
