Title
Possibly the most interesting Playstation 2 launch title, face-value alone. Some people really like this game; a group claims it's one of the best puzzle games ever. And, while the gameplay itself is kind of exilarating, the experience as a whole couldn't be even more shallow.

Yes, the backgrounds are gorgeous -but not spectacular-, the gameplay itself is fun if a bit unrefined and the player experience as a whole goes from soothing and relaxed to pretty tense near the third stage. But it's fun through very short periods of time; the items you can explode are pretty much point fodder, so there's no real strategy involved. When you beat the game (which is not very long) you'll unlock some aesthetic and difficulty goodies, but it's just the same stuff amped up or where you can get more "creative", or let the game itself as a cool screensaver... which is one pointless feature at this time and age.

Consider this had a big release price tag and you have a vibrant-looking, yet dispensable "puzzle" time-killer that costed the same as, say, Eternal Ring -which is a much meatier game. You could be playing Bejeweled or Zuma instead. It works as intended, it's just not very interesting, and it clearly just wanted to exist for looks and whistles: the replay options are riddled with camera angles and special effects for you to play with. It feels like a 10$~ title -and at that price you can buy at least 100 games with way more lasting value.

That being said, it gains an extra star for the admitedly fun-looking two-player mode, which gives me Guitar Hero Battle Mode vibes, and that's probably the best part about the game. It seems like a good way of bonding with pals... at least back in the day.

Only try it if you got a thing for simple puzzle games, you REALLY love Missile Command or you just want to know about PS2's launch history.
