Totally Goo-some!!

I first come by this game through Gamespot last year. Reading its review and seeing its remarkably high rating(1st in the best games list last year) gave me a shock. That was my first time seeing a PUZZLE game overriding other action-packed and more thrilling games, e.g Call of Duty 5: World at War and Grand Theft Auto 4.

Just about two weeks ago, I found this game through a server connection(site of uploaded and shared files) here. Without hesitation, I downloaded it right away and tried it to solve my many unanswered questions(Why such a high rating?).


"Wow."


That was what I said when I first get into the game. It was totally unexpected. I didn't expect it to be so..... cute and adorable. The game play is very different from other puzzle games cause it just had this potential to stick your brains and eyes to it for a long, long time. With it's spell blinding soundtrack and Gunbound-like-graphics(except that it's far better than Gunbound), the player will definitely play it till he/she reaches the last level where there is always a completely surprising and wonderful storyline(plot).


Without further a due, let me introduce to you the best puzzle game I've ever tried:


World of Goo

World of Goo is a physics based puzzle/ construction game.


The millions of Goo Balls who live in the beautiful World of Goo don't know that they are in a game, or that they are extremely delicious.


You can drag and drop living, squirming, talking globs of goo to build structures, bridges, cannonballs, zeppelins, and giant tongues. The millions of innocent goo balls that live in the beautiful World of Goo are curious to explore.


World of Goo is very addictive and wow-inspiring puzzle game that will set you on an adventure you'll never forget.


Another thing, it only takes up 76MB(approx.) on your hard disk after installed! Not to mention, you get to online with other Goo players too to construct the best Goo structure!


World of Goo screenshots:


Just a reminder, you cannot defy the laws of gravity.

See the pipe at the upper right hand corner? That is your goal to success.


You must sometimes build really tall(balancing it too) Goo tower to reach the top.(Patience and perseverance required)



I'll give World of Goo a superb 9.5/10 for its great and creative game play and campaign, as well as its fantastic features.


For more info and visual on this game, youtube.com is one the best sites to see players struggling with these globing goos.


Till then, take care and God bless.
