Product Description

Platform: Nintendo DS

The original version of Pipe Mania was published by Empire Interactive in 1989 and is one of the most popular and ported puzzle games of all time. Phenomenally, the title achieved staggering sales of over 4 million worldwide, making it one the most successful puzzle games ever launched. The simplicity of Pipe Mania makes it a puzzle game that is accessible to all ages. The player must lay down a pre-ordained set of pipes on a tiled grid in order to keep the constantly flowing Flooze moving for as long as possible without it spilling out. It requires quick thinking, hand-eye co-ordination, forward thinking and spatial awareness. This new version builds on the infectious playability of the original but includes expanded game modes, new themes, new play mechanics, and new pieces that will challenge players of all types and ages.

4.0 out of 5 stars fun, October 15, 2008

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Pipe Mania (Video Game)

My kids love this as much as I used to love 20 years back.First released in 1989 the basics of the game have changed little.
It introduced a focus on fitting randomly selected pipe pieces together to construct an elaborate, and hopefully high-scoring, pipeline.But it's the pipes that are really the main attraction. Playing out a little like you're micro-managing the plumbing of SimCity, the aim is to lay down a pipeline that allows the Flooze to flow unencumbered from its preset start piece to the final preset drain. Keep working with that Flooze though and you'll achieve a state of plumber's zen. It's all about learning to go with the flow, trying to make use of every piece of pipe you're given. And when it all suddenly slots in to place, the frustration is washed away, revealing a challenging puzzler that provides a decent sense of achievement. Have it on both the PSP and DS for each.

I'm not big on games but this game is totally addicting. It's a wild and crazy game!

At first I had a hard time figuring it out but once I caught on it became exciting to play each new game. WOW!!! Who knew that these games could be so much fun.

I play with this more then my kids do. It's great for all ages but I would recommend this more so for an older child since you need to have great eye-hand coordination.

If you are looking for a fast pace challenging game them Pipe Mania is the game to have.

Great game. Once you start you can't put it down. Lot of fun and challenging at times. Lay the pipes down before the ooze leaks out and watch out for the attacks
