World of Goo. Not very often, a game grabs me before I’ve even had a chance to play. Visually this game is so polished its crazy, i’ve played full disk retail games for the Wii that havn’t had half as much love and care put into them as this little wiiware title. Originally for the PC tower of goo was a stripped down version of this game, Now World of Goo is out for both wiiware and pc and highlights once again what the Wii does best. Simple fun addictive games. The Wii seems to be a glorified flash games engine especially with the new Wiiware games but honestly, this is where you see games that doesnt push the system too hard and can have a little bit of fun with the unique controls and Is really giving some developers a chance to shine. 2D Boy will definitely be a company i’m watching out for in the future.
World of Goo is clocking up more hours on my wii at the moment than any other games. The basic idea is to use your Goo to build a connection to the pipe somewhere on the level. All Goo can travel along these structures, but at the same time you can use Goo to stretch out and make connections like a little building frame. Obviously once you use the goo to make something it uses that bit of goo up and you cant get it to the pipe. Yes I’m quite crap at explaining this game… Basically you’ll pick it up in 1minute and end up playing for an hour.
Just look at the video instead to see what I mean
I would recommend World of Goo so hard it hurts. On a console where to be honest…the good game pile is getting a little low, this is a nice quick welcome addition to the console and one that will remind you why you bought this tiny white console in the first place – nice fun games. This games soundtrack will be stuck in your head as soon as you boot the game, and the visuals will constantly impress and amuse you.
To quote the game “BUY GOO!!”
