Wetrix (Nintendo 64, 1998)

This has to be one of the most underrated games for N64. This is a very good puzzle game for the now dying N64 and take my word this game is GREAT. Game play- I would first like to start out with the game play, hey in a puzzle game game play counts. You start out with a board and you must use Tetris like pieces to make a holding place for water pieces. Overall you have to make lakes the more you make the more points you get. But you must also prevent the water to go off the board or you will lose. One bad thing is that eventually it starts raining eventually and you must have barriers all...

Wetrix is one of those games that you can't put down. Even though you probably won't ever realize why you are having fun, you WILL have fun. Although many people see it as a Tetris take-off, it is SO much different!!! This time, you can't just win by creating lines. You have to contain water that falls from the sky and in water bubbles by using a series of uppers and downers to create dams, lakes, and dykes to hold in the water. Sound complicated?

The game is a very simple and easy game to learn and hard to master. It seems most quality puzzle games these days have that particular quality about them. It makes them timeless for future generations to enjoy. That is, if the N64 stays in the household. With the influx of 3 to 4 new game consoles, all with higher graphic content and speed, the only chance these puzzle games will have is that they revamp their graphics but keep...

Here's the gist of the game -- you build landscape to contain water that falls from the sky. You control: Uppers -- these pieces raise the land. Downers -- these drop the land by the same amount as uppers. Water -- This comes in various amounts; put it where you need it. Fireballs -- These evaporate water you've collected, or are trying to get rid of. They also blow up a portion of the landscape without putting a hole in the floor. Evaporating water is how points are scored. Bombs -- These will puncture a hole right through the bottom of the floor, no matter how much land you've built. And,...
