Hi all,

We have just published a review of *Roogoo *for the PC - if you could

post a link on your site that would be very much appreciated.

*/"Just because the game is tough though, isn't to say that RooGoo isn't

fun. It is fun to play, kind of. Fun in the same kind of way as //Peggle

or //Drug Wars or any other casual game. You don't actually massively

enjoy playing the game, you just crave the sense of accomplishment and

completion and you get sucked into this trap early on thanks to the

pick-up-and-play design.

There are only two real things that prevent / /RooGoo from being a good

game and neither of these are really going to be a huge problem to any

initiated puzzle fans. The first is that there really isn't much to be

had beyond the single game mode and once you've played one level you've

played them all.

The other problem is the way the game presents itself. We've joked about

the bright colours, MeeMoos, King Goos, and Roos of / /RooGoo, but the

reality is that they really are a problem. //RooGoo is too fast and

frantic to be a kids game, so we have to judge it as more than that and

while the game would still have problems if it was presented as a less

immature puzzler, it would be a bit better off."
