Another review, For an AMAZING game

This game is godly, and it's absolutely, positively, nail-on-the-head perfect. I can't get this game out of my head. It's so hard to explain how appealing it is; maybe it's the simplistic yet surprisingly deep story, maybe it's the amazing physics, and maybe it's the games absolutely stellar soundtrack, but something about this game makes me want more, and man does it deliver.

Gameplay:Aptly named World of Goo, is an example of the perfect puzzle game (I wouldn't even call it a puzzle game, more of a logic/puzzle/challenge/physics/adventure/story-driven game, but even that doesn't give the perfect description) and here's why: The premise is so simple; what you do is drag little balls of goo near other balls of goo to create a connection that supports a structure, and yet it's so complex. First off: The physics in this game are absolutely incredible, the goo structure starts tipping and swaying if you build too much with little foundation, the structure will stick to walls, grip on ledges; it's absolutely perfect feeling. Secondly: The game has tons and tons of different goo balls that you'll be using, some that catch fire, some that hang low, some that grip to walls better, and it all adds to the amazing experience even more. Thirdly: you'll see everything exploited to it's fullest potential, which adds to the awesome gameplay even more; wind will affect how your goo reacts, if goo lands in water it will start hopping around, if a goo is suddenly disconnected by a hazard it will let out a squeel of shock and will look astonished. Simply put, the gameplay is fantastic.
10/10: Perfect

Story: THIS GAMES STORY IS AMAZING. YOU WILL LOVE IT. I'm not kidding when I say this, but world of goo actually has a story, and it's AMAZING. It really doesn't kick in until chapter 2, but once you experience it, you'll love it; it's so strange and quirky, yet strangely serious in it's own light, that it adds so much to the atmosphere you can't help but enjoy it. I won't tell you the story a.) because it's really ****ing hard to explain, and b.) because half of the fun is experiencing it for yourself.
9/10: Almost perfect

Sound: This games music is ****ing godly oh my god I love the people who created it. I'd write a whole gigantic paragraph in attempt to explain it to you, but I'll just give you some links, and let you decide for yourself.

You decide. Coupled with the amazing gameplay, the soundtrack adds that extra flair of amazingness to the game that I just can't get over. I give it a,
10/10: Perfect

There are other things in the game that I'd add to the review, but that would take way to much of my time. So I'll just end the review on a cliffhanger.
Final Score: You decide

didn't we have a similar thread not so long ago?

Don't recall

Unless you're referring to my review of De Blob which isn't at all related to this game

I was mistaken. Was thinking of your De Blob review, sorry.

Nah it's okay *huggles*

So what console is this game available for?

PC, wii, and I think it might be coming out for steam sometime, although I'm not quite sure (Considering I never use steam)
Spoilers:

Also, since it's out for pc, that means you could possibly find a crack for it *hint*hint*

Its WiiWare.

THE GAME PLAYS ON ITSELF????



FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF


Thanks for the topic, Razz! With your endorsement, I may just look into this title!

On another note, game is fun and I approve of the bulk of this topic.

I saw like 5 people in my class playing it on their laptops. I guess it must be pretty good, I only played the demo which was quite fun.

Complexity within simplicity. A great tool indeed, and it has been the success in so many games!

I can't wait to try out both games.

This music doesn't sound very good at all, honestly, so I guess you just are easy to impress?!

I don't think that ! is needed in there.

This sounds so awesome that I'm going to risk getting a virus from some crack site to get the full version of this.

Uh, yeah it does! That's when you're yelling and being questioning!

So you're like "I GUESS YOU'RE JUST EASY TO IMPRESS?!", huh?

oh ok

Well usually I am not being serious when I use exclamation points anyways.

This game looks alot like Fantastic Contraption. Is the gameplay similar?

World of goo is more physics-based than fantastic contraption
