Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - KEEPS GOOING & GOOING!
This is a small game only in cost: it has offered me endless hours of fun!
If I were to describe this game as simply "building bridges made out of, well, elastic goo", I would do it no justice. I could never imagine how entertaining balancing goo-tension and gravity could be!

The graphics are clear and do not have high hardware requirements. The music is well chosen. And the gameplay you will find yourself longing for after some hours.

WORLD OF GOO is a game that can be enjoyed by the whole family - and it is free from any draconian DRM schemes.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - utterly amazing! better than you can imagine!
It's wonderful for anybody. I bought the PC version thinking it was for Mac. It isn't, of course. But I saved it for when the kids come over and play on their laptops. The Wii version is available on WiiWare...see the official Goo website for the link. And it is also available for Mac as a download for the Goo website...I got mine there. I just now bought two more PC versions for Christmas presents. One for an adult, one for kids. they will love it I know.

This is a very challenging game that is very, very fun. My 12 year old game crazy and proficient grandson rated it a 10 out of 10. I love it. Best game for video play EVER, I think.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Don't Pirate This One - Its cheap and not from a conglomerate
Have you ever seen a US Cellular commercial? If not, you're lucky because you're missing a stomach turning spectacle. The ads are engineered to pluck your heartstrings with some totally corny and improbable emotional story. After wiping away your tears at the heartrending scenario, you realize that they were just trying to sell you a lousy cell phone. They used a touching story about helping grampa find meaning in his life to pitch me a cell phone plan? I want my emotion back! What a rip off! I don't appreciate being tricked into caring about some dumb product.
"World of Goo" will not do that to you. There's just nothing fake about it to leave you feeling disappointed or underwhelmed. It is authentically beautiful in every way. The gameplay is utterly unique. The story is silly and fun and well written and creative. The graphics are expressive, colorful, and buttery smooth on my average computer. The music is hauntingly catchy. The sound effects are perfect. The two independent guys who released this game (their first, according to the press) are far cooler than the conglomerates that just churn out sequel after sequel after sequel these days, changing nothing but the graphics of their tried and true formulas. We need another run-and-shoot game like we need another smallpox epidemic.
"World of Goo" is just FUN. I stopped playing and now I'm overtired because it's three AM and it's past my bedtime but I couldn't bring myself to turn it off until now. I guess I can't really imagine how the game can go on for weeks like some of the other titles you can buy, but World of Goo is only $20 - that's less than half what most video games cost. If it's not the hugest imaginary world ever, that's not a big deal.
Bottom line, if you can operate a mouse, I promise that you will get $20 worth of fun out of this game.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - great game, but this version does not have the MAC verison, only the PC versionI
I just got this (11/12/08) and the package is only for the PC, not the PC and the Mac as the title and the image say. Beware!


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A fun, rewarding, and original gaming experience in every respect!
This is a puzzle type game unlike any other. You basically work against the laws of gravity and physics while trying to get your balls of goo from point A to point B by building structures with them. The imagination and creativity that went into this game is unbelievable. The 2D graphics are gorgeous and the music, atmospheric. Although somewhat vague, there is a story that ties the puzzles together and it adds some humor to the events that unfold as you progress, especially toward the end. This is a game that has to be played to be fully understood because it is hard to describe. I thoroughly enjoyed this and didn't want it to end. I still go back and play some of my favorite levels.

One final note: This ia a computer friendly game. Easy to install, small file size and most importantly, no DRM.
