Yes, it’s that good. Mandie and I rented it last night while we were waiting for Bondi to finish our pizza.  (Speaking of renting games, $11.99 to rent a game for a month?  I had no idea!) After eating our delicious pizza, we popped it into the Wii and played for a bit.

We played the single player campaign, passing the controller back and forth and taking turns trying to beat the levels.  In order to get ‘Gold’ on the level, generally you need to clear it out with one throw.  It was fun exchanging strategies, trying different things and laughing at each other’s horrible failures.  Truly, our relationship has grown stronger.  Thanks Steve.

I brought it into the office today to try out the multiplayer.  Unfortunately the co-op mode is two players only, but it looked like it could be a lot of fun.  We tried the competitive stuff with four players.  GOOD TIMES.  We played the ‘Throw’ modes where you’re trying to knock down as many blocks as possible to gain points.  Then we tried a Janga-esque mode where the goal is to only pull out one block at a time, with any additional blocks costing you points.  That shit gets tense, yo.  (Thanks Easy E!)

In closing, the game is great, Stevey Spielberg did great work and I’m hoping there are some Jurassic Park unlockables in there somewhere.  I’d also say E.T. but then I’d be in trouble.

Update:

Found this cool custom level video.
