Product Description

NEVES is a unique puzzle game that challenges players to think critically as they align pieces and build figures that correspond to a silhouette. Each puzzle features seven wooden blocks, requiring the player to combine them to form specific figures ranging from simple items like a sword or key to more complicated ones such as birds or airplanes. With the innovative controls of the NDS, it's as easy as ever to position your pieces, but solving the puzzles can be anything but!

Watch the video at the top of the page; that's what sealed the deal for me.

This is an ancient Chinese game played with tangrams, and will be familiar to many people already. Of all of the DS games that "anyone" could just pick up and play, this one takes the cake. You don't really have to like video games at all to enjoy this. The skills needed to be really good at the harder puzzles are also tested in standard IQ tests, which means this game really does start to challenge your gray matter sometimes. It's also done in an intentionally relaxing manner, so it's always more fun than it is stressing which is extremely rare for video games. The presentation, just like the game itself, is very "bare bones" and may bore people looking for more bells and whistles. The music is best when it's turned off, which is actually cool if you want to listen to your own music because there's no need at all to hear anything in this game. If you're looking for excitement, this isn't it. If you're looking for a simple, laid back brain challenger, try this out.

This review is from: Neves (Video Game)

This game is great! I wish I had gotten it sooner. Great for visual spacial learners or people with those kinds of LD's. I love love love this little puzzle game. The pieces you use make up the pattern on the picture shown on this page. I only gave it 4 stars because I've been playing Rayman Rabbids 2 lately and that game makes me laugh like a fool.

Check youtube for a video: search "neves nintendo ds". That was the kicker for me...after watching that I knew I had to have this game.

Check back I'll try to post a couple more photos.

Neves is worth buying if you enjoy puzzle games. You use the same basic shapes in order to create 500 different figures. You start off with an outline and it is up to you to fit the shapes in in order to completely fill the given outline. Some are easier than others. While others have been pretty challenging to complete. Simple interface to use. The only negative is the theme music which I'm sure you'll mute after a while. Worth the money. I've enjoyed it.
