Fun for awhile, but the novelty wears off quickly once the task of finishing of achievements begins.
There really isn't much to this little addictive game. You swim, eat, dart around, and eventually can suck fishes towards you. It's ery fast paced game action can be great fun with simple, fluid control. But it might wear on you after awhile. With 40 stages to swim around in, the only real change is what fist you're playing. Eating, and eating, and eating might grow tiresome to those not used to casual games. The game's time attack mode is one such example. There's no saving the action for later, it's you against the clock through all 40 stages.
The game suffers a few little bugs that you're only likely to come across in the final stages of the game. If you're killed right as you're leveling up, it won't take and you'll have to eat your way back up. Another problem is your sucking power. If you suck a very large fish towards you and it passes you, sometimes after you've finished sucking, you'll suddenly have been eaten by it. Since the LA games get updated frequently, these might not be an issue in the future. The stages are of varying size, some extremely small, while others are quite huge. They are packed with fishies for you to feed on and things to avoid besides those higher on the food chain. Proximity mines will toast you and other fish that touch them, poisoned green fish that will reverse your controls for a short time if you eat him, and jellyfish will paralyze you for a few seconds when touched. Amidst all these levels of frenzied feeding, there are a few short bonus rounds to boost your score, so there isn't a lack of things to eat or avoid. The game also has a great way of gradually introducing you to all these hazards, so your skill will improve as you progress and you'll be able to handle the chaos. The graphics are very colourful, the fish look good and it's sort of relaxing watching them swim around. The music has an undersea feel to it, and while there are very few tracks, its hardly noticeable. For completionists, the achievements are pretty nondescript and most shouldn't be too hard to bag. There are a few unkind ones that will test your tolerance of eating fishes through all hours of the night. Getting your food bank up to 40,000 will probably take you around 20 hours, as it takes about 10 hours to get just over 20,000. Eating 1,000 sharks is another matter. There are only a few stages where you'll get large enough to eat sharks and you'll only be able to eat a few, so the maddening process of repeating those stages over and over might put you off fish all together. Fortunately, you'll be able to select these stages once you've gotten that far, so you won't have to keep playing the game over-and-over from the start, but still.
Overall, it's great fun for the short term, but it gets old fast.
