This review is way too positive. This game is far from okay. It is garbarge through and through. My 6 year old and 3 year old hated this just as much as me.
After the horrendous Aha! I Found It... where I felt robbed by Ateam, I made a sacred vow never again to buy another game from them. Luckily I will not have to break that oath.
The first pooyoo's game got a high score too, but was not good. Cute, yes, but my 3 year old was bored with the activities after playing twice. She could do them all on the "big pooyoo" level without problem. Too easy and not enough content.
I think it is relevant though Sean because as you say, you wouldn't give Bloons as a concept more than a 5... it is helpful to know though that the port was shoddily executed.
The PSP Bloons game was fairly well received with a 68 on metacritic. I'm not faulting Sean for not liking the game. I would have preferred that someone who had never played the original flash game or someone who likes the flash game reviewed this to get a better idea if I would enjoy the game. Isn't that what reading reviews is all about? Trying to decide if the game is for you or not? This review didn't help me because Sean doesn't like the original flash game.
I think the problem here is you don't like the original flash game, Sean, so that makes your review less useful. A lot of people do like that game and find it very addictive. I would rather have someone review the game that likes the original to see if it's a reasonable port or not.
Outstanding review. Perfect accuracy. Graphically it's a mess and too often you don't even know what the item you are looking for should look like. Wish I had waited for this review. Your kids won't like this game. Get 5 spot party instead which is a much better, clearner, and enjoyable experience all around.

Re: Points Burning a Hole in Your Pocket? Try Burn the Rope
500 points would be a stretch, but at least defensible based on nintendo pricing. 1000 points is just insulting.
Re: Review: Mystery Case Files: The Malgrave Incident (Wii)
In the multiplayer mode, are the item placed in random areas each time or are they in the same place as the story mode?

Yard sale is a solid game. I recommend it highly.

Re: Hands On: Ivy the Kiwi?
Is there still going to b a wiiware version of this or has that idea been scrapped?
Re: Review: Balloon Pop Festival (WiiWare)
Wow. I find it hard to believe this game is as good as Neves Plus (also received a 7). It looks awful.
