Motion-Sickness.
I feel the absolute need to type this a dozen times so you, dear reader, get the point. I know, I was already kind of a crappy “gamer” but I hadn’t found a game thus far that needed reviewing and hit me with this particular problem. Welcome to The Wonderful End of the World.
Now, don’t get me wrong. I was actually really enjoying this game. It’s innovative, fun, and easy to understand. You start out as a tiny ball of energy…specks of light, really, and you
run around a set space, absorbing anything that is smaller than you. Like a true blob you grow larger with every victim of your sucky powers, and before long you’ve added every bit of furniture and even some walls to your devious mass. Like I said, it’s a great game. At one point you even suck up two people and a dog. I loved that.
The music for The Wonderful End of the World is also fantastic. It’s upbeat and you know instantly that it was made just for the game itself. It adds spice to an already well seasoned game and amuses without distracting.
Now, I wasn’t sure if it was just me or if the game itself was a little loopy, so I had my husband test it out too. He felt fine after finishing the same couple of rounds that I played so more than likely it was just me. If you tend to suffer from dizziness after games (for me it’s games like Mario 64 and Lego Star Wars, I have no idea why those affect me the way they do when others don’t, but hopefully you can get a feel of where I stand and gauge yourself accordingly) you should be wary and take it slow.
I think it’s worth mentioning that he also said there was a game on the PS2 a lot like this one. He enjoyed that game and he feels that anyone who did (he said you guys would know what he was talking about because I sure don’t) should definitely take a look at this one.
Even with this annoying extra I would still say that I liked The Wonderful End of the World. It was fun and fresh, even if it had me curled up in a ball sobbing afterwards. I think the pain was definitely worth the pleasure in this instance and I think that you should give it a try too.
