everything just seems to click
There's nothing quite like a simple design where everything
just seems to click. That's an apt description of the gameplay found
in World of Goo…The visuals in World of Goo often look like they just stepped out of
a Dr. Seuss book… As amazing as the visuals in World of Goo are, it would be
a shame not to mention the outstanding musical score and realistic sound effects
that go along with it…It's quite amazing that a development team consisting
of basically three people has somehow managed to create such a unique and utterly
charming gaming experience like the one found in World of Goo…In an era of
where style is often emphasized over substance, it's refreshing to see a title
like World of Goo that somehow manages to feature an abundance of both.
World of Goo will never let anyone down looking for a fun, challenging time
The award-winning World of Goo is immediately attractive
as soon as it starts up, with some vibrant graphics and a easy to digest presentation
that's always charming and funny. This looks and feels like an old-school Saturday
morning cartoon brought to life…incredible physics allow so many different
structures, like bridges, ladders, and pyramids. And therein lies the beauty
of this game: the only limits to this game are a gamer's imagination…With nearly
40 levels and downloadable content in the future, World of Goo will never let
anyone down looking for a fun, challenging time.
This is a gamer's game and a game that should be played by non-gamers
How is it that Goo can contain more charisma, charm, cuteness
and let's not forget gooeyness than pretty much any other video game character
ever?... The levels themselves exude the same quality as the Goo, they have
been made so perfectly and with such an artistic flair it is unbelievable,
they seem to have their own personality at times. While the gameplay itself
is absolutely outstanding it would be left standing on its own if the art wasn't
up to scratch. Rather it is the art that brings this game, for me at least,
up above most other games currently on the market…2D Boy have created one of
the finest games of the year, I don't care that it is an indie game; it is
up there with any and all the hits. This is what gaming is all about, great
game design, great character, and great fun. This is a gamer's game and a game
that should be played by non-gamers. It is a piece of art and a Goo filled
ball of fun
Alternately whimsical, dramatic and haunting
It's beautiful, isn't it? Everything. From the beautiful
levels, which go way beyond the basic graphical expectations of "looking nice",
to the charming-alarming cut-scenes, to the beautiful characterisation of those
adorable goo balls. World of Goo isn't just beautiful. The world, and its surreal
anti-establishment storyline, feel original and sincere. It's Tim Burton's
vision of one of Roald Dahl's more amoral tales.
brilliant, stunning, and ridiculously fun
Brilliant, stunning, and ridiculously fun…Ingenious level
designs, responsive control and at-times hilarious presentation combine together
for an experience unmatched by any other WiiWare title to date…It's packed
full of brilliant, challenging levels. It's gorgeous. It's got beautiful music.
