World of Goo

Wonderful game that has the genius of appeal to all age levels. Will turn your head, you solve puzzles to pretty much get some "goo" from point A to point B, will definitely develop your puzzle-solving intuition as well as get you to think a little bit differently. Very stylized too, with a believable, curious theme; you feel like you are part of the fictional world. And the soundtrack...AMAZING. And the graphics...AMAZING as well, and runs on any computer built in the last 5-8 years. It really is nice when a game comes out that is incredibly entertaining, has the presentation value, awesome soundtrack, creative GUI, eye-candy graphics as well as unique, TRULY INNOVATIVE gameplay, all on top of a very low production budget. Shows you that throwing more money at developers isn't the key to making new, better games (and even genres); the key ingredient is passion and love, which as you can tell from this game, comes in abundance. Go get it and support two dedicated programmers from SF (yes, this was made by two people, not an overfunded factory)

World of Goo is so much fun. Kids and adults will love it! The seller was also very helpful.

I purchased this for my grandson and my son-in-law. My grandson will use it on his computer; however, I returned the one for my son-in-law and he will wait until the WII edition is available. I was disappointed that it wasn't available for Christmas! He has read about the capabilities of the game and is willing to wait until it comes out in the WII version!

Have you ever tried to build a card house? Have you ever tried to stack pencils or any one of a thousand other challenges that involve simple physics? Now think about trying to stack, hang, stretch and otherwise support moving, jiggling and flexing balls of goo. This game takes everything you think you know about physics and turns it on its side as you try and recreate those laws. Be warned, it is definitely addictive.

I purchased two copies of this game, one for niece and nephew, one for my family. What a wonderful surprise! Terrific hit for boys and girls 13 to 58, including the tough 16 year old boy. Very original, beautiful music (I recommend stereo headphones), runs on both Windows and in Wine on Linux (some sound correction needed), very easy install. It is a unique puzzle game, with constantly changing figures created to overcome obstacles. (The created structures interact with the game environment; i.e. respond to breezes, gravity, traps, etc.) Difficulty increases as you move through the chapters of the "story". Big plus is ability to quit and pick up where you leave off, at least on the same level if not the identical structure. Light footprint on a laptop. Most of all, just plain FUN! These guys should be encouraged to continue writing game software; DON'T PIRATE THIS GAME. It's already quite affordable, and not from a monster company.
