Kuru Kuru Kururin

"A great little puzzle game for the GBA!"

Kuru is a great little game for the GBA. It's a puzzle game, and its one of the first games on the GBA. If you're into puzzle games, you'll want to pick this one up. It contains a great mixture of fun and challenge, which merge together to create a fun and addictive little puzzle game.

Gameplay: In this game, you have to guide a little rotating stick through a maze, from start to finish. It sounds easy, and the first part of the game is, but the levels start to get very winding and curvy, and it start to become a real challenge for the most skilled gamers. There are many levels to play with, so it doesn't get boring quickly. You'll probably have to try again and again to complete the last few levels, and hopefully you don't get annoyed easily, because it can get frustrating!

Visuals: Kuru's graphics are very nice, and easy on the eyes. Each level is nice and colorfull, although they really aren't that great. But who plays puzzle games for the graphics, anyway? =). But if you need good graphics, then I wouldn't suggest this game. They aren't spectacular.

Sound: Kuru's sounds are very nicely done as well. The music is very well done and very energetic, adding a dash of excitement to the gameplay, and it's really a joy to listen to. You may want to purchase a good pair of headphones to listen to the music the way it deserves. Some people think the music sounds a little childish, but, I really like it and I think it adds to the overall experience.

Fun Factor: If your a puzzle nut such as I am, you'd definitely enjoy this game. It a generally new type of game, and is really fun to play. If you're not into puzzle games, you may just like this game, though.. I'd suggest to anybody to give it a try. Puzzle nuts shan't be disappointed.

Replay: This is where the game kind of fails.. Once the game is done, it's done... There isen't really nothing to unlock, and I didn't really feel compelled to play it again. Maybe some reversed maps or something would have been nice. (if i have missed an unlockable feature, please contact me, and I'll revise this review.)

Recommendations: I would definitely recommend this game to all the puzzle nuts out there (you know who you are!). You'll really enjoy this game. As for the other gamers out there, I would suggest they play this game as well. You never know, you may just get hooked.

I'll give this game a 9/10!
