4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting, September 17, 2008

I thought this was an interesting game. It's similar to tetris, but certainly not the same.

Instead of dropping blocks down onto a 2d playing field, you have to drop blocks onto a 3d sphere. Dropping blocks that match the blocks around it cause them to explode leaving empty crater like spaces. The object of the game is to create openings of certain sizes on the sphere.

It has a bit of a learning curve to it. I think the other reviewer simply didn't give it enough time to learn what you are supposed to do. It's not terribly intuitive but the tutorials help. Once you get it though, it becomes a very enjoyable game.

There are odd creatures in the game shaped like spheres. You can see them on the box art. They add a cute side to the game and change how the controls work when you play multiplayer. They also include little animated shorts.

Multiplayer is interesting and has the usual puzzle antics, such as being able to toss extra pieces onto your opponents ball.

Puzzle mode is fun as well. You start with chunks on the sphere that need to be removed, but you are given only a couple op pieces to figure out how to do it with. Done properly, it starts a chain reaction that then clears the sphere. Some of them are very challenging but satisfying when you complete one.

The music in the game is pretty cool. A funky 8 bit techno style.

All in all, I thought it was a good game. All the major game sites give it at least 8 out of 10, so clearly the reviewer that gave it a 1 is the odd one out.

THIS GAME SUCK'S!YOU CAN'T UNDERSTAND IT AND IT DON'T HAVE GOOD GRAPHICS. I AM SO MAD I BOUGHT THIS GAME. I WON'T WAIST MY MONEY ON ANY MORE GAMES UNLESS THEY GET A 4 OR ABOVE RATING! AND I WAS DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE I ALWAYS PLAY TETRIS SINCE I WAS LITTLE! AND IT NEVER GETS BORING. BUT THIS ONE DOES AFTER TRYING TO PLAY IT THREE TIMES I WAS UPSET AND DONE.
