I'm pleasently surprised to be honest. I thought it wouldn't do very well on the Wii probably because XBLA versions of such games don't fare that well too often.

The controls sound... weird. But I'm interested, and I dug the DS version.

"you rotate the body of the Wiimote (as though you're holding a rolling pin by the end) to change the direction that your little marble gun is pointing."

Clear as mud. Wouldn't a better analogy have been, "as though you're holding a screw driver", something everyone has done.

Typo in review, in the phrase "or on Xbox Live Arcade as Zuma Deluxe", you missed out "blatant rip-off".

I was thinking of downloading this game the other night but the only information or reviews I could find were for the DS version. I certainly didn't expect a 9/10. I’ll download the game when I sober up tomorrow.

Wii Ware is shaping up nicely. Suits me perfectly. I hate swapping discs. Although I guess in the future I will be juggling memory blocks instead if the quality of titles keep going like this.

They're supposed to be bringing out some external storage soon. Probably just a USB flash drive with a little bit of DRM/crypto on it, for £30 =(

To be fair, this does look considerably more interesting than MGS 4...

+1

I very much forward look forward to our discless future, however it does mean that I won't be able to trade in any more which'll put a cramp in the amount of games I get through.

How can you give 9/10 to a game that costs £7 for what is essentially a glorified flash game you can get free on the internet?

Ah, NOW I get it. I was sitting here trying to figure out how on Earth you'd get a rolling pin from, say, "5 o'clock" to "4 o'clock", because describing it as such makes me think of holding it like a club. It seemed like an amazingly awful way to control such a game, but screwdriver-style it makes sense. Tom, you idiot.

How about you try... y'know... reading the review?:

Between Quest, Challenge and the Multiplayer elements, there's plenty here to justify your seven quid. It might not have made it as a full-price game, but then - like puzzle games on the DS - it feels right at home at this price on a download service like WiiWare."

Nah, you've got it confused with MS Memory Unit for the 360.

Razz is The Boss around here, didn't you know? Self-appointed, mind you.

Anyway, back to that rolling pin analogy, which stopped me in my tracks while I tried to think of a worse analogy for the Wii Remote motion/useage he was attempting to describe - I couldn't. Who made him editor, exactly? ;)

You control it as if you were holding a dolphin on springs.

Since you twist the Wiimote, i wonder if there'll still be any stages with multiple launchers, like the DS version had. It worked really well with stylus flicking from diff places.

monkie_king: "you missed out "blatant rip-off"" - actually could be argued that Zuma was a blatant rip-off of the original Puzzloop, which makes this game part of the "official" series
