World of Goo - Probably the Most Interesting Game I Played in Years

They are sticky, they are slimy ... some say they are too good ... GOO is for most of us. As I promised this is a review of one of the interesting, challenging and addictive games I've played in recent years. This is World of Goo. It appears that you do not need millions and millions of dollars to get enough to make a great game and a good idea sometimes. If during this period of Far Cry 2, Fallout 3 or Red Alert 3 on The World of Goo ... well ... play enough, he says. This gamehas all the elements to be great. It 's funny, witch is very important for a game and is competitive. These two elements form the basis of all the good games and I do not just video games. Solito is board games, sports, and World of Goo, has two ... Therefore, it is impressive is currently Sun

It 's basically a puzzle game based on physics. It starts with a certain number of Goo Balls that also allows you to build a structure like atower or a bridge to reach your goal. This goal is a little strange, you have to take the remaining goo globes to the pipe...it seems that a goo is fulfilled when it reaches this pipe. This is kind of the story of the game, the journey of Goo around the world, from one pipe to the other. This journey is split in 4 chapters and the epilogue, divided in 48 levels. All the extra goo balls that you take to the destination are sent to World of Goo Corporation, which is kind of the multiplayer of the game. It is a place where the players meet over the internet and have to build the biggest tower with their extra goo. The players are represented by clouds with their name, nationality and tower height. In the right top corner is displayed the place which you are in real time. This is the competitive part of the game. Now for the fun part. "As the sun set over the last of the hills, one of the Goo Balls seemed to say that life sure seemed like a giant physics simulation, but as he fell into the spiky death pit below, he knew it probably didn't matter - love the Sign Painter ". This Sign Painter is a real funny guy. He leaves signs all over the levels with funny and useful ...signs.

The game has a cartoonish look in a Dr. Seuss-like art style but darker. The soundtrack is real good and combined with the visuals make a very nice, unique, atmosphere. As you advance through the levels they become more and more challenging. At first you might think that the game is to easy but as you advance you'll see that you have to use your brain. The best part is that every level has its own distinc personality and you don't get bored. For example in one level you have to rescue the goo from a stomach and help them fly away to the next island...or chapter. The handful of different goo types help too. There are the basic black goo that when you use them, they stick in place, the green goo that you can move after the original placement and can rearenge the structures build with this kind of goo, the yellow ones that stick on every surface, red goo that is flammable or the goo bombs. From the simple idea to lead a bunch of goo balls from point A to the pipe over a dangerous terrain 2D Boy managed to create a superb game that I recommend to anyone. One more thing... don't forget about the gravity. I'll give it 9 out of 10.
