The wonderful world of GOO!
When we were in the States, Michael introduced me to a game that he’d got for the Wii – The World of Goo. I didn’t play it all that much when I was there, but the other week I realised that I still had a heap of Wii points (i.e. paid for credit) sitting there from when we installed the web browser on the Wii*, and they were just enough for me to download a copy.
I’ve had fun playing it so far, but what’s been surprising is that a couple of weekends ago, Bec sat for over an hour and a half playing it. That’s pretty unusual for her, so it must be pretty good!
It is a pretty cool game. More of a mental challenge than anything. Hits the right balance of addiction and frustration.
It’s available for Windows, Mac and Linux as well as the Wii. Worth a look if you’re bored!
* A side note here. On any other platform web browsers are being given away left right and centre, but you have to pay for one for the Wii? Hmmmm. Sucks!
Do you know if you can use the English software on the Japanese console? I am sick of playing Animal forest thingy in Japanese!
