Europe tends to be left out in the cold for many great releases, starved and forgotten about like the bastard children of rich CEOs and politicians. You can count your lucky stars, though, Europe, because things are looking up. The angels must truly be smiling at you, because a gem, nay, a diamond in the form of a Jenga DS cart is being released on European soil (descending from the heavens, if you will) only two weeks after its U.S. release.
If you know anyone at all in the U.S., you can probably attest that they have not stopped talking about Jenga for the DS. We can't imagine what it must have been like during those tortuous two weeks, while your friends across the pond were rubbing their Jenga exploits in your face. Now, however, you are finally granted the privilege of purchasing a game worthy of a Nobel Prize (forget Game of the Year).
We're actually outraged that this game is retailing for only $29.99. With gameplay as good as this, you're getting a lot of value for your money. And just look at those effects as the block is placed on top of the pile! What a steal, amirite?
Note: We apologize in advance for the heavy sarcasm, but we felt that a post consisting entirely of the word "What?" would have been a bit too short.

I love these studios that just develop dreck. Picross DS is budget priced and it's exceptional. I can't imagine anyone being happy about purchasing this.

I think you guys are better off with "What?" Having said that, why does Europe have a really shoddy program when it comes to videogaming? Last I checked those people still love games as well!

The music is poor! I coulda written something like that in year 7! (which must have some kind of North American equivalent)
I do like the graphics though. They're top notch...=D

Why would you play a game based on Jenga if you could just bust out a set of Jenga blocks? I don't know anyone who would say, "Yo, I want my Jenga TO GO !" Half the fun is playing it with friends.
Also, where're the obnoxious people chanting, "Jengga! Jennggg-ggaaaa!!!" over and over again like in the commercial?

It falls over the wrong way, doesn't it?

Heh, it does...
But not only that, it also is a pre-rendered animation. The tower that's falling over is not the one we've been seeing all the time; it was a regular-start-jenga-tower.
Booooriiing!
Buy the real game for only $10 or something.. Heck, make it yourself!
