Groovin' Blocks falls onto WiiWare

by Justin McElroy { Sep 8th 2008 at 8:50AM }

What's the problem with not having demos for WiiWare games like Groovin' Blocks (Empty Clip Studios, 1-2 players, 800 Wii Points)? It forces you, the consumer, to make your purchasing decision based on a game's name (which, let us remind you, is "Groovin' Blocks") or on a short gameplay clip like the one after the jump, which you should watch only if your Monday morning is just a bit too exciting and you need to slow things down a bit.

Armed with both of these tools, we assume you'll come to the same purchasing decision as the rest of the planet.

Reminds me of that mini game in GTA 4!

reminds me exactly of that GTA game but the GTA game looked a bit better.

Have any other puzzle games like this had a co-op mode like that? It didn't look like it would work too well.

Its like a mix of Columns and Lumines.

Too bad Columns sucked.

Covarr @ Sep 8th 2008 3:06PM

Agreed. Columns is the boringest of all puzzle games I've played.

You are both so completely full of wrong it's just a little bit sad. :P Columns is awesome.

This looks better than GTA IV...

I hate to say it... but for some reason the interface reminds me slightly of a Virtual Boy game in HD.

Dan Manning @ Sep 8th 2008 11:52PM

Yeah. Totally QUB3D.

been playing the game since last night... totally addicted! it looks like a simple puzzle game but it's more intricate...Empty Clip did a nice job with all the little details. i have a feeling we'll be seeing more of these dudes! Plus, the music is the best I have ever heard on a puzzle game EVER! I like that they include the bands' names.... easier to google!! Found out these dudes, Mercer Friendly, have really diverse stuff.. it's perfect for soundtracks. I read they released the game's music on Amazon ... gotta get it.
