Classic Game Review

As you know I have been on a dry spell recently. I just can't seem to think of anything interesting to post so I decided to do somthing easy, a game review!

Game: Mole Mania

Type: Puzzle
Age: 9+
Dificulty: Very hard

Story:

One day while Muddy Mole was at work, his wife was going about her daily chores while grandpa mole was watching the baby moles play... When suddenly Jinbe the farmer showed up and grabbed Muddys wife and all of his kids, shoved them into his big farmers bag and then left. But not befor leaving a note for Muddy. "Youe wife and kids are mine! If you want them back I'll be waiting in Jinbe land! -Jinbe" Muddy was furious he vowed to get back his wife and children and then set off on his adventure.

Description:

Make it through the 8 worlds of Jinbe land and rescue your kids along the way. The object is to use your puzzle solving skills and muddys super fast digging claws to get through each world. Each world introduces new aspects of the game, from digging holes to get past an obsticle, to throwing a big iron ball into big rock walls to make it to the next puzzle. each new puzzle is harder than the last. To add a little more challenge to the game you must find and steal 20 cabbages, play a frantic Minigame and find all items in each world.

My opinion:

I like Mole Mania because it's very hard. not only do you have fun playing the game but you have a sence of pride upon completing a world with a shining 100%. As far as I'm concerned, the story is ok but its really the puzzles that challenge your very sanity that get me. I can remember there was one level that was so hard that I always had to use my "surrender" to get past. Of course the day I finally figured it out I felt like the smartest man alive.

Rateing:

story/setting: 6/10
