2.0 out of 5 stars Terrible interface, July 21, 2009

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Wetrix (CD-ROM)

The reason this game is hard is because they completely botched the interface. Once the game gets going, its almost impossible to tell where things are going to land with any precision, and I found pieces constantly dropping where I didn't want them. Part of the reason also, is because the pieces take a minute to float over to where you want to drop them, which is completely ridiculous. (definitely not part of the N64 game) You'll think its lined up, only to have it drop a couple spaces off. I've been able to get my score up to 130,000 on the console version but can't even make it past 5,000 in this game. Terrible adaptation from the console game.

The N64 version is by far my favorite game for the console though, and it is pretty addictive, which makes the PC version all the more frustrating.

This title is very addicting but they don't allow you to get very far without skill. I always thought these types of games were supposed to let you have some fun then they squeezed the blood out of you. Oh well, still fun.
