Attention all parents
If you want an hours peace to soak in the bath or watch the Ashes, then this game is a must! My mum bought this for my daughter and it has to be the best buy of the century! Fizzball is a bounce game, where you have to rescue cute little animals and rehome them in your animal sanctury, rather than breaking bricks. But what makes this game so brilliant is that they have a kids option, which means that your kids won't lose bubbles, and they have an animal pop quiz at the beginning of each round. The quiz is really for younger kids (what animal makes this sound etc), but you can disable it in the settings which is rather cool, as it does grate after a while! Also, you get trophies for reaching certain milestones, which my daughter loves. The graphics are great, the animals are cute, but the sound is really quite annoying, but that's why we have earphones! The only thing about it that slighty annoys my daughter is the range of animals. She keeps saying how random it is to have horses, cats and lions on a farm together! But that is really the only criticism she has, and it is a rather petty one at that. All in all, this is a child friendly, cute, fluffy game that will keep the kids off your back for hours. Who could ask for more?
P.s Once the kids are in bed, switch it to regular mode and it is just as much fun for us adults lol ;o) |

It could have been good but....
it just didn't do it for me. I enjoyed the other brain training games that you play on the DS, so was quite excited when I saw this one, but it just hasn't got that certain something. The aim of it is to do a series of rated puzzles testing your memory, maths, literature, spacial awareness etc. Each rated game comprises of eight different puzzles. You start at pre school and if you do well in the rated games, you will eventually work your way up to University.
The main problem is that you can only do 3 rated games per day, so you can't sit down and really get into it, because you know you have no chance of completing it in one or two plays.
Secondly, I'm not too sure what age it is aimed at. The beginning test are a bit simple and boring for adults, but a bit too complex for most kids under 11ish.
The graphics are good, the music grating after a while, and it is very simple to use and follow ( and the professor is quite sweet in an eccentric Einstein/favourite grandfather type of way), but all in all a bit of a thumbs down :o(
I certainly won't be buying it, and am about to uninstall the trial right now. Who needs a degree anyway ;o) |

They did it again!
I honestly didn't think that they could improve on the MCF series, but they have. The graphics are better, the game play is better and the tasks are more complex than ever. As well as the usual hide and seek element, and the jigsaw element, they have added locked rooms that you have to open. The puzzles to open these doors are deviously cunning and make the whole puzzling experience even better (and at times frustrating!)
Love it, Love it, Love it!!!! |
