Update: August 3, 2006
«©NCSX» Inspired by Tetris but deviating from that game's method of attack, Chain Puzzle Trion Cube features falling blocks that must be arranged in groups of 3 x 3 blocks. Nothing else will do. Five types of blocks serve as the basic construction material to create the 3 x 3 cubes. As the block pieces fall, rotate them left or right to fit them with the blocks already on ground level. In the early levels, a cursor will appear on the bottom blocks if a match can be made with a piece that's falling. As 3 x 3 groupings are assembled below, they may be chained with falling blocks consecutively as long as a new 3 x 3 construction is created.View the back cover and screenshots on the main NCSX website. NCS Game Notes
» After creating a combo, the 3 x 3 mass stays on screen, waiting for more potential combo creation. If no more combos are created that adhere to the first combo, the blocks turn into coins which fly off the screen with a jingling sound. » Combos can be linked to part of a conglomeration below as long as the new piece added to the conglomeration makes a new 3 x 3 square area. Even a single block of a new falling part may be used to create a new 3 x 3 square as long as the arrangement is there. » By creating combos and subsequent linkages, the entire screen can be made into contiguous parts of a chain until it reaches the top. Then you can throw a piece anywhere and all of the blocks will turn into coins for mass bonus points. » Based on our quick play through this morning, the goal of creating block combinations is to move a waddling blue penguin across a line.

| Liz Burrow (2): Cubes are Cute!! |

| I bought this game as soon as it was released, and haven't been disappointed.
It may sound dull, with the aim being to drop 3 square shapes into a pit ( 1 less value than the timeless Tetris) to get a blue penguin through the universe, but this game grabs you by the throat as soon as you sit down to play.
I've run my battery flat several times,it is so addictive.
There are 5 game types, mostly single player, but some involve beating the NDS through different rounds, ( there appear to be 90 - you go to 45, then start again on a harder level, 1-45. ) this is quite fun - and a qood way to build up those $$$ that you will need to unlock the different skins that are available in the game.
Skins?? they don't show up until you have scored so many points in game 3, but there are 10 background skins, and 50 piece skins, all of which offer lovely eyecandy, and are sure to keep you from getting bored with the same old appearance.
Some skins are really expensive - the one to unlock the little fairhaired guy who flies the penguin, is a million bucks. I haven't got him yet.
Addictive - definitely,
good looking - sure is
longevity - if you like tetris, you'll play this for years!!
You don't need to know any japanese to play this, it's all graphics.
Go on, you know you want it!! |
