IGN writes: "Looksley's Line Up is unlike any game you've ever played, because it looks unlike any game you've ever seen. It's an incredibly innovative and intriguing design with a unique visual hook -- it's in perspective-shifting 3D. Which means that what you see on the screen changes if you look at it from the left, instead of straight on. If you tilt the system downward to look from above, you get a different angle. And so on and so forth, all the way around to every possible viewing position. It's nearly impossible to get a good impression of what it's like from a still screenshot, but once you've viewed it in action, in person, you will say "wow."
"With the launch of the eShop on the Nintendo 3DS last month, users can now download a range of titles directly onto their system, following in the footsteps of WiiWare, DSiWare and the Virtual Console services. With a host of new features, such as StreetPass, motion control and the 3D display, developers now have more tools than ever to use in their games, allowing new ideas and improvements previously not possible. Below I’ve picked out five titles, previously featured on WiiWare and DSiWare, that I believe would make good use of the 3DS’ new features and deliver an even better experience than what’s currently available." -- Wiiloveit.com

Kotaku writes: "When we first saw the pseudo-3D wonder of Nintendo's hidden object game Looksley's Line Up in action, we wondered why we'd ever need a Nintendo 3DS. Now we know.
Looksley's Line Up is a hidden object puzzle game that works by showing you various scenes presented in a perspective-altering sort of pseudo 3D. While looking at a dance scene, for instance, turning the Nintendo DSi in your hand the right way might reveal the shape of a cat or grasshopper. It's up to the player, guided by a rotund white rabbit, to travel through multiple scenes, uncovering hidden objects and words that help unlock the secrets of the game world."
