I had no idea what this game was when I picked it up for (I think?) a decent price whie in Australia (many years ago). I've since played enough of it to be thoroughly disappointed. Not with the game per se, it's not that bad and moderately entertaining. Mostly, it feels like the game is overpriced and overspecced? Not sure about that last term, but I'm thinking of a game that seems too simple for the hardware on which you're playing it. The graphics look oldish and the gameplay is simple enough that I wonder if the game is a port from an earlier generation. In fact, and this is somewhat unfair, it feels like a cheap iPad game... The game is basically a collection of mini-games, each with their own rules and controls. They're not bad, for the most part with the exception that you have to do them in order AND each mini-game has a set of challenges you need to clear. Missing one means having to start over which can be a bit frustrating, I don't think I failed more than a few times on some though...
