Wetrix is a water based puzzle game played on a single floating, square landscape Gameplay is simple in concept but can become complex and very addictive in practice.
One complaint I did have was the game packs a pretty steep learning curve. This is not a game you can sit down and play without reading the instructions and practicing. Personally, I like the challenge and I think that this game has incredible depth excuse the pun. My significant other, a self-proclaimed puzzle game genius, was not willing to put forth the effort to get the hang of the game so she never got a chance to get drawn into it. Why am I telling you this? Because it think it is important for the people who are looking for a game they can jump on and start playing immediately to know that this game does take some patience to play.
The main buzzword for puzzle games is "addicting". All puzzle games want to achieve that status and Wetrix is no different. The box is quoted as saying "Wetrix just might be the most addictive puzzle game of all time".
That is a pretty bold statement to make. The more I played the game, the more I felt that addicting was not quite the right word for this game. I think the game was more challenging and self-pushing than addicting. When I think of addicting, I see myself wanting to squeeze in that one last game at AM. I don't think I have the mental sharpness at 3 AM to even play Wetrix.
Don't get me wrong. This is not a bad thing at all. Like I said, I like a game that makes you think and the best part is that you have to think and plan ahead longer than just the next piece or two. This alone puts Wetrix in rare company. I do have one complaint with the game. This may just be me and it might only be my problem but I had a difficult time judging where the piece was lined up on the landscape.
The falling piece does cast a shadow to help you guide it but when your landscape gets pretty full, it is difficult to tell where you are aimed. You do have the ability to adjust the camera angles and zoom in and out but the pieces fall so fast that if you don't make up your mind pretty quickly, it is too late. I just wish it were a little easier to tell where things were going to drop.
I can't tell you the number of times I was off by an inch or two when I though I was lined up correctly. Like I said above, this is a puzzle game and we all know it is gameplay over graphics.
The graphics in the game are pretty good and quite colorful. I don't think there was anything that could not have been achieved on any of the next generation consoles or PC. The rainbow was very colorful and looked great but, once again, it is gameplay that brings you here.
All in all, this is a decent puzzle game. It may be a bit too complicated for some puzzle fans like my girlfriend. If you want to spend the time to get to understand the concepts and ideas, anybody can get the hang of it.
Replay Value: This game begs for replaying as you learn the subtleties behind advancing through stages. Wetrix is one of the most addictive arcade puzzlers I have ever come across. Although it was a big hit on the Nintendo 64, the first platform for which it was released, it unfortunately failed to attract avid fans when the PC version came out shortly thereafter.
Gameplay in Wetrix is similar to Tetris in that you must organize random pieces as they fall from the sky. However, the pieces here are red and green arrows, droplets of water, and special pieces.
Your goal is to collect water by using red arrows and green arrows to raise and lower sections of the land. After an initial round of building blocks, water droplets will begin falling from the sky and you must place the water in an area where it will be contained.
The game ends if you let too much water flow over the edge of the world or through any holes caused by random bombs. What makes Wetrix incredibly addictive is just not just its attractive graphics or unique concept, although it has plenty of both: it's the many subtleties and surprises that will keep you glued to the screen.
Just when you think you got a hang of it, bombs fall from the sky to wreck your dams. If you try to solve the problem by creating tall mountains somewhere on the board for them to hit, you risk disastrous earthquakes that happen when land is raised too high that often spell "game over.
Navigate to the downloaded. The game will now run on the emulator and you can play the game freely. Tip: Saving games on an emulator functions a little differently. The integrated save system will not save your progress. You can save your progress in whatever point you like within the game, not only on the official checkpoints offered by the game.
