Review:

I am a die-hard fan of tetris. It keeps me glue to the pc for months without realizing that there is a real world outside there besides the computer.

As Brickshooter concept sounds similar to Tetris, I decided to try it out. You get to join three bricks together in horizontal, vertical and L shape and the combination will vanish in thin air. "What a simple game to master," I thought to myself.

But after trying it a few times without cracking my head, it soon come to my sense that it is by no means an easy to play game. You need to think in advance to get the correct combination layout in the center as in playing chess. I thought game was supposed to be fun but here it requires you to crack your head.Really not my cup of coffee!

The graphic illustrations also does not provide any further encouragement to my waning interest in this game. Can't it have a 3D and sparkling bricks around the game ? And adding more special effects when the bricks vanish ? It will add miles in attracting game addicts to this sort of game.

This game would do great when computer was first introduced but now it won't stand a single chance at all to be played more than a few times due to its monotonous graphic design and non-innovative concept.

Conclusion:

I would give this a 2 out of 10 unless there are changes in its graphical outlooks and add in of beautiful splash screen after completing its task.
