Of course the sound of all your Goo Balloons popping won't exactly instil any confidence in your plan either. Nothing sends a wave of panic through your body quite like the sight of your teetering tower of Goo collapsing down around you. It's this simple play control coupled with the challenging level designs that make playing the game so challenging and nerve-wracking all at the same time. The control method in World of Goo is extremely intuitive given that you basically only use the Wii Remote to move your Goo pointer around the screen and one action button to latch onto a Goo Ball and drag it to where you want to attach it. It's not much to go on, but you'll definitely appreciate the help on some of the more intricate levels. If you find yourself stuck, you can always read the Sign Painter's messages located in various places around each level that will give you a vague hint at what you're objective is in each level.
#WII WORLD OF GOO REVIEW HOW TO#
It's up to you to figure out how to use each type of Goo and how to connect them in order to traverse the many challenges in each level. There are even Matchstick Goo Balls that are highly combustible, which can be used to start a chain reaction of fire. There's also Goo that can be attached and then disconnected whereas other Goo will be permanently locked into place once attached. You'll find that some Goo Balls are very flexible and will stretch while other types of Goo are firm. Luckily you'll be given access to a variety of different types of Goo to help you out, each with their own unique characteristics. To make matters even more challenging, you'll also have to deal with various other dangers ranging from gusty winds to spike-filled pits, all of which can spell dire consequences to your Goo if you're not careful. You have to carefully balance things out if you're to have any hope of reaching some of the lofty drainpipe locations in each level. If you put too many Goo Balls on one side, the structure will begin to sway and will soon collapse under the strain. This means that you have to be careful how and where you attach balls of Goo. Once you complete the level, you're given a report card of your performance, such as how many moves and how much time it took you to complete the level.īuilding these structures with the Goo is tough in and of itself, as the game employs astoundingly realistic physics.
Each level has a specific Goo requirement that lets you know ahead of time how many Goo Balls you must guide to the drainpipe in order to progress to the next level. You basically grab balls of Goo and stick them onto each other to slowly build them into a structure that will reach the drainpipe located somewhere in each level. There are no complicated control schemes to learn and no gameplay tutorial is even needed. That's an apt description of the gameplay found in World of Goo. There's nothing quite like a simple design where everything just seems to click.
Not only does the game live up to the immense attention that has been heaped upon it over the past few months, but it brings one of the most unique and original gaming experiences to the WiiWare service yet and proves that a WiiWare title done right can be every bit as good, if not better, than an actual Wii retail release. While this generally leads to unrealistic expectations, every so often a game somehow manages to not only fulfil the hype, but exceed it. It's certainly no secret to WiiWare fans that World of Goo has seen more hype than just about any other WiiWare title to date.
