Kuru Kuru Kururin

"Spin Spin Spin but don't crash!"

Kuru Kuru Kuruin is another GBA game with both action and puzzle elements! The game is simple, move your transport around a series of mazes! This may sound simple until you reach the sky! Let me review this game section by section.

Graphics (9/10)
Simply colourful, nice and clear graphics. Every bit of the game is nicely coloured and won't hurt your eyes. You can easily see the walls of the maze. Also, careful attention is taken for this game. Each level has their own graphics and backgrounded themed to each zone. For example, in the Sky (Cloud Zone), you can see clouds and things flying around. Hehehe. The game sparks off with a rather nice cartoon that tells you the story.

Sound (8/10)
Rather catchy tunes that might even stall your concentration for the game. However, if you lose concentration you might fail consecutively and get really fed up. Each zone has its own theme music.

Gameplay (8/10)
You simply have to move your helicopter around the mazes and rescue your siblings as well as collect special items. The game is flexible in a way that you can always return to past levels to collect whatever you have missed. Interesting puzzle elements like springs can change the direction of helicopter spin. The catch is the Hitpoints for the helicopter which is limited by 3. If the copter bangs onto the walls, it loses hit points. Also, for your information, this game has 6 save slots and *even* one GUEST slot for your friends to "Try out".

Replayability (7/10)
Perhaps sometimes this game may be very interesting and fun, after you've completed it, there isn't much to do except to play time challenges or collect ALL the items. These items are used to decorate your copter (but anyway you'll only be able to see a Satillite view of it all the time)

Overall (8/10)
For those who want to experience something different and cool, try Kuru Kuru Kuruin. Its a well done game with cute graphics and sounds.
