Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Aqua Aqua is a puzzle game, and as it's name might suggest, it is water-themed. Many years ago, a mystical comet called Soul of Ice collided with a gigantic asteroid, awakening dormant monsters and creating new planets. This is the home of the Aquas, who must battle the grumpy monsters while dealing with environmental catastrophes.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good puzzle game, January 20, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: AQUA AQUA - PS2 (Video Game)

Ever played Wetrix on the N64 or PC or Wetrix+ for Dreamcast? Well, this is the sequel to Wetrix. Basically you are giving a square playing area and you have to build barriers using blocks so the rain and water that falls from the sky won't fall off the board. If too much water falls off the board then your game is over. The game seems easy at first but can get very challenging due to hazards such as earthquakes, the water becoming frozen or a bomb dropping. If you like puzzle games, it is worth getting.

Okay first point the controls are a pain... until you get used to them. Seriously the training mode almost got me aggravated enough to find out how far the Cd could fly. (That undershoot, overshoot correct problem mentioned in another review). After I got the hang of the controls though the game became stangly addictive (I played all the way throught the first 4 stages in one night). The game is very tetris like, but the addition of water and earthquakes makes a drasticly different game (in a good way I'm sick of Tetris).

The game itself can be beaten with practice (the boss monsters aren't to hard to block once you've learned the scoring tricks), but the real challange is to improve your score enough to become "Master" in all worlds and unlock the 5th stage.

Two player mode was underdone (no computer opponent option that I found, and it takes a while to get someone used enough to the game that they can challange you, let them play a few hours first, that lineing up this is the hard part in this game).

Only other flaw was the fixed camera angle (when i built mountains to close to the screen it was hard to see the rest of my board) and no the ability to switch to a view of the litte dudes does not help (it looks nice but worthless)

4.0 out of 5 stars nice puzzle game..., February 27, 2001

if you are into puzzle games and want to play something different from bust-a-move...then this is the game...it's a nice game to get to round out your ps2 game collection...especially for when you have your friends over...one thing...you have to pass the training mode to play the story and vs modes...which is good since it will familiarize you with the controls...but tedious for those who just want to start playing...
