Review:

At first glance I was expecting a clever, challenging puzzle game. With such a high price tag, it had to be good, right? Wrong.

Before I even mention the game play, BrickShooter is a very aesthetically disappointing game. The graphics and interface are unimpressive, and the music is nothing short of torture. I have seen much better work in browser-based, and most importantly -free- games.

With such a simple concept I would think that the creator would be able to rid the game of major glitches; however, once again I have been proven wrong. Within the first five minutes of play, I encountered my first of many noticeable glitches.

With all of the ugliness glaring out at me from BrickShooter, I figured that the price tag must be justified by innovative concepts and an overall well-executed strategy game. Don't get me wrong, I love puzzle games, but I absolutely hated this game. I played for hours, waiting to be hooked or at the very least to become interested. I was left bored and disappointed.

Conclusion:

BrickShooter is a good way to kill a couple of hours but I would not recommend shelling out $20 for the experience.
