An Excellent Rendition with only one major dissapointment
Overall: (9.3/10) A very well done game with only a couple detractions keeping it from being one of the best in this genre.
Graphics: (8.8/10) Top notch! I mean really good, almost everything is very well done. Well, except for the backgrounds look like airbrushed styrofoam, maybe that was what they wanted, I don't know, but the backgrounds really detract from otherwise great graphics. (just needs hardware lighting :)
Sound: (9.9/10) This is one of the best sounding games I have played in a long time. The music is original and top notch, coinsideing to get the "feeling", but, whearas the music is great, the sound effects are really really top shelf and it's very obvious that a lot of work went into the sound effects. Use 5.1 surround headphones with vibration to get a nice "feel" for it. :)
Gameplay: (8.2/10) Well....I think maybe I was looking for a little more fresh content (Butterfly Escape was pretty inovative) , what is here is done really well, but, a little old now for the genre I think. The powerups are good, but seem to fall into 2 catagories, either a "nuke" or just not really that useful. But the main "gamebreaking" thing is the lack of a custom mouse cursor and low resolution, I mean, on levels where your fireing from the bottom at stuff on the top, you have to move your eyes to see what color is next, serious eye fatigue on a large monitor and really detracts from the gameplay besides the huge windows stock mouse cursor. :( The other main detraction from gameplay I think is the speed. I mean, it's really fast...really fast, to hit stuff at the top you have to "lead your target" about 3-4 balls, I just feel it's a little Too fast...(hopefully i can edit a def file or something to be able to finish it). |

Very Ho Hum.
Overall: Tedious and Boring
In adventure mode, after the 7th level you realise something...that. it is the SAME as everything before it, and i don't think it ever changes. It is a bit of fun at first, blast things makeing matches, ok, that's fun, just not with no variation, and the lvls that come down with "stuff" to shoot, isn't a variation.
Graphics are pretty lackluster for nowadays, sound is ok from what I remember, gameplay is ... tedious and boring. |

It is ok for younger ones
I bought this for my daughter, I luv puzzle games, and yeah, this doesn't have much for puzzle pieces, I dunno, I like it, it has the story which is real world :p. and, the farther i got, ther more i like it, it does start off way too easy for most.
I think the Pictures are what I am not careing for most, they are really close and bad....
The puzzles are ok, for me too :)
the music is better than most |

Gameplay is severely lacking.
I thought the story was kinda neat, but then...You have to play the "game".
You start off with one, and no matter what column you pick, the computer will get 4-8.
The entire game is you trying to play catch upthe olling around numbers of the items just seems...Dumb...
All in all, not fun.
Graphics are pretty lackluster for this day an age.
Sound is alright I guess, no voice or anything. |
