fun puzzle game August 3, 2007

Great game to pick and play for a few minutes or a few hours. The 100 puzzles that you have to solve are very addicting. This game is definitely worth the money.

Polarium is very easy to get the hang of, and it also comes with a nice tutorial mode.
The Puzzle mode gets pretty involved after about the first ten or so - that should keep you busy for a while.
The Challenge (Tetris-style) mode does seem to get tough maybe a little too quick, but it does give your brain a good stretch as a result. I just wish it had a Novice-Normal-Expert level option. Challenge mode does offer a practice feature, where you can flip to your heart's content.
Polarium should be in everybody's DS collection, since there is bound to be someone in your family who will love it.

This game suffers from a few minor flaws, but I personally keep my copy in my DS lite as the default. Why? Becuse it's the ideal game to play when waiting for the bus, the perfect game when your buddy is taking his time getting ready to go, and the best way to forget how long you've been waiting for your boss in the parking lot.
Polariums flaws are forgivable, and its gameplay rewarding. First, the control can be unresponsive, and it can cost you. The touch screen is used to draw a small golden cube across the colored bricks in order to complete a line which will change the polarity of the bricks (switch from black/white to white/black). However, pull the stylus in the wrong direction and you'll find your line stalled out, or the line is drawn in a way you didn't intend, and this can be frustrating, bt it's part of the games challenge. Second, I wish there were a few more sound tracks, the ones that have been included in Polarium are good, but with as simple as the gameplay is, I would have liked to hear a few more fashion-show trancey tunes emitted from my DS speakers.
On the good side, the puzzle mode is challenging and addictive, as well as highly rewarding; the completion of each puzzle sees the tiles vanish in a glimmer of golden particles and a jingle sound to announce your success, simple sleek and strangely pleasing.
The game includes 100 templates on which you can design and save your own puzzles, giving the game a little more depth in its multiplayer potential.
Alternatively, the game offers a challenging tetris style play mode that becomes very difficult very quickly, and offers this in a multiplayer option.
Overall, I'm pleased by the simple monochromatic presentation of Polarium, but I would have liked to see a little more variety in the BGM. This game is at it's best when you have about ten minutes to kill, such as the bus stop, and I reccomend it for the casual gamer.

I am totally a puzzle game player, and this one had me hooked from the first play!
Like other reviewers, the background music gets old, but the flip on the old standard Tetris-type game is nice. It definitely wakes up my brain and challenges my problem solving and critical thinking while making the choices come faster.
I really like the personalizability of the high score listing, which is a bonus if you share games with friends in any manner.
This was my first game pick for my DS Lite, and I have to say it was a very good experience.
I look forward to trying other DS puzzle games like Magnetica.
