Bouncebag's Review - February 25, 2009
Full Version (PC)
Overall:
Graphics:
Sound:
Gameplay:
Similar to the Other Ricochet titles... Still Brilliant
Overall a brilliant breakout game with a space theme
it is similar to the Ricochet: Lost worlds title and uses similar items, but infinity has a unique trophy award system and unlockable items, such as special ships (with special power ups) and special balls, with different abilities also. it also has a unique bluey charecter that will enterain kids and adults alike
there is also a Kids mode which is useful as it has unlimited lives, constant safety barrier as well useful for entertaining the children, especially those who are not so good with hand-eye co-ordination.
though the sound is ambiance suitable for the game, but it is a little repetitive. which after several hours can be a little boring.

Ricochet Infinity is our favorite game so far this year!
At macgamingnews we gave this a solid A+. In fact, it's the first game ever to receive an A+ and it definitely deserves it. We loved the previous Ricochet games and this is quite possibly the best one.
Graphics? Top-notch
Sound? Best in class
Gameplay? Completely Addictive
Learning Curve/Difficulty? Right on the money
Richard at the macgamingnews podcast called it "a strong contender for (his) favorite game of the year". We buy and review just about everything for our podcast/show and this one was WELL WORTH THE MONEY, and that's an understatement.

On certain levels, recall is essential for getting those elusive rings, but the ball travels too fast, especially in medium+ skill level, try finding a slow, power up and clearing one side of the play area and swinging the ball from the opposite, clear side into the rings or key bricks
Lost rings:
remember you can click save and exit one the stats screen then replay a level to get all the rings.
User levels:
Use user levels, or create your own to get trophies that may allude you in the official levels. also, these levels extend gameplay and can give you easy rank/points boosts and remember to read the editor documentation before using the level editor, as it contain so information that is useful when creating levels.
If your trying to get "longevity" or "Amazing Breath of Life",
here is a tip for you : when you get "Ball Catcher" bonus always keep a ball on your shield.
This is really for all of the Ricochet Games... Try using the Microsoft Intellimouse Trackball. The large Index and Middle Finger controlled ball allows for very rapid movement on the play field. Fast, accurate and much easier than moving a mouse around.
Even if it seems like you have collected all balls and ships, there are some hidden ones too. Try gaining an outrageous number of Gold Rings, you might find some hidden ships and balls!
If you can't seem to get all the power-ups or Trophies, try playing some user made levels that can be downloaded while in game.
I got the Speed, Zen Master (no power ups in 10 levels) and Traveler Trophies from playing these. Some of them are so easy your only job is to launch the ball.
