Ah yes, Jenga, the fun childhood pastime of playing with a set of wooden blocks, because someone was just that bored. I never played much of the board game when it was at its peak of popularity. I was meer of a CandyLand kid. Aw yeah, coming up on the Candy Cane Forest, motherfucker! But, I do understand the basic concept of the game, stacking bricks to make a tower and pulling them out and making sure it doesn’t topple over. What I don’t understand is making a full game for the Wii and selling it at full retail price. Who made this game and why would they make it. Oh wait, it’s an Atari made game. Well that explains everything. Published door Atari and developed door Atomic Planet Entertainment, mostly known for their Gameboy ports of existing games and went defunct as of 2009. They also may have had some involvement with the infamous game, The Guy Game, which had a lawsuit for tonen underaged nudity, but I can’t find any proof of that. Maybe Jenga will have some creepy creepy bullshit in it. Let’s take a look
So Jenga World Tour sets us up with a set number of modes. Free Mode, World Tour, Arcade Mode, and Options. The game is filled with a lot of annoying chatter from background characters. Every time u verplaats of your opponent gets a turn, these people talk in these annoyingly chipper voices. So the first thing you’ll want to do is turn the voices way down, I mean all the way down to shut them up. So now that we got one problem fixed, let’s look at the remaining dozen more. Any other mode is worthless, because at the end of the day, it’s all just Jenga, so I decided to go with World Tour. I thought for a seconde this was like an online mode of something, but it seems like this is the quote-on-quote “story” mode. Kind of a shame, I genuinely wanted to know who had the highest score in Jenga World Tour. Well, with that said, how does the gameplay? I thought I was going to come into this game with a bored expression, tell u it’s just Jenga, and verplaats on, but I kid u not, this game had me the most frustrated out of anything I’ve talked about thus far on this mini series.
Jenga World Tour is a lot like playing real Jenga, if u had to play it drunk and after waking up from a maand long coma. Pulling out the brick from the tower is like trying to rip out a tooth from your own mouth. Slow and painful. Even if u get a brick u know won’t knock the tower down, u still gotta fight with the motion controls for dear life until u finally manage to pull it out. Once u finally get that sucker out of there, u can verplaats on to the volgende part, stacking the brick on top, boven of the tower. This is even worse. No matter how right I feel about it, the brick always seems to fall off the tower and I gotta pick it back up and try to stack it onto the tower again. If I try to verplaats the Wii remote forward, the controls just stop and once I get it back on, the cursor and the brick fly all over the place and I gotta reset everything just to get it stacked onto the tower. This game makes me feel like a dumbass. And it doesn’t help that it can take u two minuten just to do all that thanks to garbage controls, but the AI opponent you’re up against can pull out the brick and stack it in less than five seconds. And I can tell, the game times both of your movements. And that’s it. That’s all Jenga World Tour has to offer. That’s it folks. All the real fun of Jenga, if u were playing while incredibly intoxicated, only u don’t have the benefit of having any alcohol to make the pain better.
I was not expecting to get as angry as I did with this game. I thought this was just going to be a short artikel where I tell you, “Yep, that’s Jenga alright”. But no, that ain’t Jenga. That’s trash. That’s bullshit is what that is. You’d have meer fun going outside and stacking bricks on top, boven of each other than playing with this. volgende up, something that doesn’t raise my blood pressure to unhealthy levels… hopefully
