The multiplayer is pretty fun along with puzzle mode but just for a little while like until level 20. The design is geared to new gamers (about 10 year olds). I regret renting this. Rent Luxor that is 10x the game!!!

This game was a waste to rent, there was no excitement in playing any of it. My youngest child wasn't even challenged by it. Reminds me of an old time video game. Please don't waste your time renting it, you will be disappointed, like we were.

I was disappointed playing this game. The controls for this game, using the wii remote were unclear to begin with but became even worse when trying both story & puzzle modes. It plays nothing like it sounds. I am used to the online versions of this game, so playing this version was anything but enjoyable.

This game was terrible. Like a bad Japanese cartoon. It came with no instructions and you had to try and guess how to play it.

Good Concept But ...

posted by Shoogle (BEAVER, PA) Jan 10, 2011

I like the IDEA of this game. It's a puzzle - not enough like Popit (my favorite online game) to compare the two.

Two problems with this game: 1. interface -- the menu is SORT OF in English and it's difficult to tell what different options/selections do. It's easy to get past that to game play, just a bit clunky and not user-friendly at the onset.

2. game play: I like that you go right to the puzzles ... no screens before you can play telling you to "Push A" or anything like that ... but then the games themselves remain fairly simple ...

I played this for a while. My daughter, 6, understood it and did well until the more difficult puzzles, and then she bored of it because it doesn't offer much visually if you can't figure out the puzzle.

The game looks and acts more or less, like a variation of Bejeweled or Diamond Mine. The concept for the game was interesting, as my wife is a big fan of the above mentioned games, but this game went quickly out of favor in my house. While the concept was interesting controlling the game was extremely difficult. Using the Wii controller as a point and click device, with this game does not work at all well. Very hard to control and not worth the time to try to figure the controls out.

cheaply made and boring

posted by drewbiez (OWATONNA, MN) Sep 8, 2008

Member since Jul 2008

This game was so boring because:

there was no way to stop and save

the only way to beat the game was to keep playing for over an hour

it was terribly easy as long as you had time on your hands

the "story mode" had no story

beating it was uneventful

The only good side to the game was if you were playing it with someone who was fairly good at using the remote to play, then the vs mode was alright. My kids had a hard time using the remote to point and then drag across the screen as needed to change balloons.

this game is very horrible, there is nothing fun about it. the controls are sluggish and sometimes don't reach the balloons that you are trying to get to.

don't waste your time on renting this one

Great for Kids

this game is not that challenging. I beat it in about an hour. It was very confusing at first since there are no directions or anything on how to move the balloons but after some playing around I finally figured it out. My kids said it was very hard so i played it. after i explained to them they liked it. Was the right amount of challenge for my 8 year old.

I beat this game in less than 2 hrs puzzle wise for that 2 hrs it kept me content however after it is completed there is no reason to play it again. It is the same thing over and over basically.

Waste of Rental

posted by jsmash (TROY, NY) May 31, 2008

Very disappointed. Hoped for a set of minigames, but the game is a single arcade game that is very similar to many free online "connect three or more" games. The wii controls for this game just detract from it. I expected more from a wii game. Instead of renting, play one of the many free online games.

Ok, but not outstanding

posted by bowlergirl (JOHNSTOWN, PA) May 14, 2008

The basic game is good. I like the concept. But the "story" mode has no story really. We expected when we 'beat' all twelve months it would say congratulations you won or something like that, but my husband just kept playing and eventually got tired of it and quite and then it said congratulations you have defeated the bad guy.
It is not a hard game and it is easy to play, and it is a game that doesn't require a ton of concentration. So if you just want something simple to play try this.

Bad Graphics

posted by violets (SIOUX FALLS, SD) Mar 7, 2008

I thought this game would have different backgrounds. But the background while you're playing doesn't really change much. The game is very boring. I didn't really like the controls either. If it had better graphics it might not be so bad. You expect better graphics for the wii.

Like a 1997 cell phone game ported to the Wii

posted by dirtypants (LAWRENCE, KS) Feb 29, 2008

Member since Jan 2008

If you have a cell phone, you have a game that is this insipid. It is like Tetris without the some of the sophistication, and the use of the Wiimote is frustrating and difficult for anyone except the most skilled user. A terrible waste of time. Save your money and play whatever generic junk is loaded on your cell phone!

This game is dull and boring. It's not worth the time to rent. I got it hoping it would be a fun game to play. There is nothing fun at all except the player vs player mode. Then it is mildly entertaining to compete against a friend but all the other modes are boring. If your looking for a sweet puzzle game this is not it!
