BrickShooter Review
BrickShooter: As Fun as a Pile of ...Bricks.
|
You can buy it at RegNow for that price.
Simple to install and pick up.
The music gets old after 5 seconds. Also does not allow users to tab out to other windows. Sadly, after the initial minute of play I ended up just as bored as when I loaded it up.
BrickShooter lives up to it's name- you shoot bricks. That's it. It gives you simple instructions and sets you off to match up 3 similar colored blocks in unlocking a puzzle. But unlike the vast variations of this game, this does not try to even snare you in.
For one the looping music makes you want to put the game on mute. Or at least put other music on. So I decided to go tab out to load winamp but discover there is no tab out function! The only full screen games that did this were old school DOS games. In fact if I wasn't mistaken, it looks and performs like an old school Dos game. The graphics are terrible, the colors bland, and overall, cheaply done. Overall the look is dated for a game of its age.
The game doesn't succeed as a time waster either. As the package overall is underwhelming, the fact that there is countless better packaged games on the same theme of breaking blocks lessens it greatly. If anything, I could only stand playing it for 5 minutes before I just shut it off. Better time waters are out there that can keep an attention span!
For the dated look and feel of this game, playing this feels like a rip off. You can download many variations of this, as well as better DOS games anywhere off the net. I'd be hard pressed to pay a cent for this lackluster game.
