As some of you may know, I love puzzle games. Nobody will ever beat me in Tetris and for the 16-bit people I can whup ya' at Tetris Attack. So when my good friend Cory let me borrow some games, I wanted this game. I was not dissipointed.

The idea is to kill little monster bacteria things by using little pills. You stack up red pills on red monsters, blue on blue... you get the point. By making a row or column of 4 or more, the monster is killed. Some boards have millions of little monsters!!

The control is excellent. If control isn't perfect in a puzzle game, then you might as well use it as a hockey puck.

The sound is very interesting. I can't really say whether I like it or not, but it's interesting

The funfactor is incredible

But one thing stops it from being a 5 star game. The graphics aren't bright enough. It's a real nit-pick call, but it really can drive me crazy. That's the only thing that barely hampers a great game.

4 1/2 stars
