Also known as "Tetris on acid", Zoocube is a crazy addictive and spectacularly original 3D puzzle game. Gameplay involves rotating a cube in the center of the screen as odd shapes approach from four directions. Each shape has distinctive colors and features that vaguely resemble an animal species. The "walrus", for example, is a brown circle with two protruding incisors. When you stack two of the same shapes, they combine and disappear, triggering a cute animation and a distinctive animal sound effect. In advanced stages (and multi-player games), it starts to sound like a real zoo as animals are released in rapid succession. Control is tricky at first, but once you get the hang of it, it feels natural. You can get by using the main analog stick, but expert players will also use the "C" stick to rotate the cube more efficiently. There's plenty of technique involved, and floating power-ups and bonuses spice up the action. The game ends when a column of animals becomes too long. Zoocube's single major flaw is how a column turns gray as it's about to reach its limit. This makes it hard to make out the animals on the stack, complicating matters at the worst possible time. Zoocube has its share of special modes and multi-player games, but the shapes are much smaller and hard to discern on the split-screen. The new age music playing in the background is absolutely amazing, and combined with the cerebral gameplay, it puts you into a trance-like state. Zoocube is one-of-a-kind, and guaranteed to appeal to men and women of any age. © Copyright 2003 The Video Game Critic.
