The Final Word game review

Geom Cube -- American Technos, Inc.

R.I.P.
Remember WellTris or BlockOut? Well, this is basically the same game. One-player mode, as in most of these puzzle games introduced in the last year or more is a joke... You play nearly forever and the game never really gets any harder. But, again, as with all of these current puzzlers, two-player mode against the CPU is where the game is at. Here's a crucial tip for you if you play this game... speed! Don't worry about building up towers to get multiple sets of blocks to disappear. Go for one set of blocks at a time, clearing out blocks as quickly as possible, and keeping your well area as empty as possible. Graphics in this game are nothing exciting... remember, we are talking scaling cubes here. I will note that the intermissions are cool rendered sequences where they show a character (your next "opponent") and then they shift the light source over the character. Music in the game is really enjoyable. Play control is a weak point in that you can only rotate your shapes in one direction for each axis. Overall this was a decent game and if you like the whole Tetris type theme, you should enjoy this game.
