World of Goo

"World of Goo is an amazing WiiWare game that you simply must buy for this is exactly the type of software that needs both recognition and support. A three-man team has created a title that is not only significantly cheaper than most retail Wii games, but a hell of a lot better in every regard, from concept to execution. It's packed full of brilliant, challenging levels. It's gorgeous. It's got beautiful music. And it controls really well. So if you value any or all of these qualities, and hopefully you do, you should be delighted to know that Nintendo's downloadable service is about to rock your world, goo style."

After resting, God said unto the world, "Let there be WiiWare," and it was so. And we have to think that the Mighty One had exactly games like World of Goo from developer 2D Boy in mind when he established Nintendo's original downloadable Wii games service. Yes, World of Goo, with its uniquely colored goo balls, its deep physics system and related head-scratcher puzzles, and its slick visual style, which reminds us of games like Worms and LocoRoco, except more divine.

"With a dearth of quality downloadable titles, Wii owners may feel an occasional pang of now-gen console envy. Nintendo fans can eliminate that feeling by clearing 320 blocks and downloading World of Goo. It’s a brilliantly designed and expertly executed title that would complement any gamer’s library."
