World of Goo

Though i got my Wrath of the Lich King expansion on time, i discovered another highly addictive world, and not the World of Warcraft with all it`s glory and fame, but with World of Goo, with it`s ... Goo`s.
As a gamer i`m not particularly fond of puzzles and idiotic games which require somewhat more than average brain usage, but when it comes to funny games i immediately put my brain to work and start enjoying the game. World of Goo is mostly a game for kids, a game without a real storyline, without any meaning at all for that matter, it`s basically a physics emulator with goo`s in it.

Just a few moments after i started the game i was already having fun, and i mean laughing my lungs out, though the main objective of the game is to get the goo`s to a pipe ( as simple as i gets ), i never got tired of building "ladders" for my goo`s, and even when it all felt in my face ( thanks to gravity ) it didn`t bother me. The game is so cute that even when I failed to do the simplest of things the game had a nice, almost funny way of saying Fuck YOU!
One of the great things about this game were the levels, enjoying every level, though the main quest is the same, none of the levels repeat themselves, each and every level had it`s one way of saying : I`m unique but most likely the next one is better. In most levels -The Sign Painter occasionally gives hints, never tells what to do, but tries to help out.

Finishing the game was in fact easy, building large structures of goo in order to save the other goo`s was tons of pure fun, and why not? The graphics are cute, the effect are more than cute, and the sounds are hilarious. Seeing some of the goo balls burst into flames or explode may generate laughter, Watching them pop up as the gravity or the wind throws them into a windmill can also be classified as fun.

The lack of a real storyline here is amazingly compensated by the feeling that something is or will be happening, though the goo`s generally tend to go, and while i suspected that the game will end up with a massive goo made "building", i was wrong. The ending of each and every chapter simply blew my expectations away, they were part silly however but still, fun.

If i think about it, world of Goo managed to do what other games failed. With it`s pure simplicity and flexibility one could actually get addicted to the never ending fun.
Sadly the piracy rate of this game is more than 90%, not too good for the 2D Boys to be honest, but the game only has 70 mb and clearly it`s worth playing, and paying 20$ ffs.
