World of Goo

[Matteo]

Anyone else heard of this upcoming WiiWare title?

I completely flew under my radar until a few days ago, but now I am eagerly anticipating it's release.

Here's the IGN review:

I read about it a while back and watched a video for it last week. It looks pretty cool. I enjoy puzzle-type games every now and then, so I might have to try it out, esp if IGN is rating it so high. IGN's reviews are usually pretty accurate, at least they have been with games I've purchased.

I actually haven't bought any VC or Wii Ware games in a long time...I was considering the Strong Bad games cause I used to watch Homestarrunner cartoons a lot a few years ago. I haven't really kept up with what's been coming out though, cept maybe Mega Man 9, which has been plastered all over the net. I haven't bought MM9 but I'm considering it. Maybe after I get MM2 and if they release MM3 (my first and favorite MM game) I'll be in the mood for another.

I tried the demo on Xbox Live. (MM9)
The game is hard, really hard. I don't think I would purchase it anyway on the 360 due to the crappy digital pad, and I still haven't beaten MM4-8, so it seems like a waste.

But yeah, I doubt it can top MM2 and MM3; they are the best.

Yeah I didn't think much of it until this morning when I read IGN's review. Most people are finding it really fun and addictive. I may have to try it sometime.

You can try the prototype for free: http://www.experimentalgameplay.com/game.php?g=1
Nowhere near as good as the full game, but it'll give you an idea what it's like.

Yes, these does.

Just to let you know, World of Goo is on Steam now, for $19.99. There's also a demo as well, which only lets you access level 1 and the sandbox level.

...and yes, even the demo is VERY addicting, but the price is a little high for me, given the length of the game and replay value. I'll just stick with the demo until the price drops.

I just bought the game and I'm pretty pleased with my purchase. I recommend it to everyone..even though I still prefer Mega Man 9.

I'm on the last level of the first chapter and I can't quite figure it out. I got out of the person but I had to shut it off for some reason..Now I can't get back up there.

World of Goo's pretty fun. Some of the Chapter 2 levels are kind of annoying in that they require you do do things a certain way, but mostly it's a calming, therapeutic gaming experience. $19.99 is a little high; stick with it on the Wii for $15.

I purchased this via the Wii shop channel two weeks ago, and I totally agree with all the "Game of the Year 2008" proclamations. It is a really fun and addicting game. I finished the game in about 5-6 hours, but I've been working on getting OCD on as many levels as I can, and am up to 12 hours. I really hope they make a sequel!

I highly recommend any Wii owners to buy it if they haven't already.

...Maybe it's just because I read/write too much science fiction, but whenever I see "World" and "Goo" used anywhere near each other, I habitually start scrambling to perfect my diamond nanoshield...

I bought it about a week ago. Phenomenal game! I love the simple yet challenging gameplay. It reminds me of some of the old-school puzzle games. :D
