It's been a while since I've written a review for a good video game, and this is the first time that I've written one, for a game that operates exclusively with the Wii Remote and nun-chuck motion control. For the longest time, I held back on playing games like this. I think it was mostly because I was scared that I would royally suck and be no good at it! That's why I decided to make this game my first attempt. Since it was basically a puzzler video game, it really didn't matter to me whether or not I did any good at it. Well, I finally played this game, and I am glad to say that most of my fears were unfounded! Playing with motion controls IS a different ball game (literally in this case), and it does take some time to get the hang of using the motion controls to your advantage, but this is a good video game for you to practice your skills on! It didn't take me long at all before I started solving puzzles with the best of them! This game features quirky character designs, mostly based around animals, and blocks that usually must be removed. Sometimes, you must use a baseball, a bowling ball, a fire hose, a laser, a rubber ball, a cannon ball, or even a grab tool to remove (sometimes carefully) blocks that impede a characters progress, take away blocks without harming the N.P.C. video game characters, or use the blocks to protect characters from harm. Some of the levels are pretty tricky, but most of the levels never feel too overwhelming to try to beat. The graphics are pretty gorgeous as far as the level designs go, the music is pretty good, and the controls are excellent once you get the hang of them! The characters are all kind of designed like blocks themselves, but that only adds to the humor and the quirkiness of this game. All in all, this is a very stellar game, that I highly recommend for anyone to try at least once! It's really fun! Enough said, true believers!
