"The Stretchers is a deceptively simple co-op game that manages to be fun for every second of it&s;s brief run time, delivering interesting levels and hilarious chaos as your shout at your partner (or left hand) to just pick up …"

"But honestly, that&s;s a frustration worth enduring because of how amusing experience this can be. While I wouldn&s;t say the single-player option is an afterthought, it&s;s quite evident The Stretchers is made to be played with another person. Or even …"

"There were a few minor problems, mostly with precise movements, but never anything that soured the fun. Overall though, I can&s;t help but admire the things Tarsier Studios put in. The Stretchers is a good time."

"The Stretchers may not be the deepest experience, but its creativity comes through in spades, giving you a great challenge to experience with a friend. Its solo mode doesn&s;t function well, the game is overall fairly short, and the controls …"

"Out from nowhere, an hilarious joke, The Stretchers is a fun and clever two players game, with an ideal pace and constant renewal. Whether cutting across the fields with the turbo throttle and the waving gyro&s;s siren or consulting on …"

"The Stretchers is a jovial, anarchic affair. It looks like a Dreamcast title and, in some respects, feels like playing one too. That comparison isn&s;t meant as a pejorative to say it&s;s dated, as it isn&s;t, and certainly it has …"

"There&s;s a charming aesthetic to The Stretchers, bright and colourful and aimed squarely at kids, but the slapstick, ragdoll humour will appeal to grown-ups too"
