News   NP Scores
- Posted By Dan Doll, 06.26.2002

Nintendo Power is Nintendo's monthly magazine and promotional tour de force. In their reviews section, NP scored three puzzle games this month on a five point scale. See how those games held up.

Pinball of the Dead
Sega and THQ's GBA puzzle game landed scores of 5, 5, 4.5, 3, and 2.5.

"The game may be about the dead, but it breathes new life into pinball and the result is frighteningly fun."

Worms Blast
From UbiSoft, this GCN title combines the puzzle game Bust-A-Move with the Worms license for scores of 4, 2.5, 2.5, 2.5, and 2.

"It's the bad kind of hard where you aim a millimeter too far to the left and suddenly have to start the entire level all over again."

Zoocube
From PuzzleKings and published by Acclaim, Zoocube is a fast-paced reaction game where players match tiles on a spinning cube. NP gave Zoocube 3.5, 3, 2.5, 2.5, and 2.

"There's nothing inherently tricky in the setup. You're just struggling to keep up with the quickening pace."


Other games rated this month include:
Eternal Darkness: 5, 5, 4, 3, 3
MX Superfly: 4, 4, 3.5, 2.5, 2
UFC Throwdown: 3, 3, 2.5, 2.5, 2
