Project Rub Review (DS)

Age Rating: 12+ (PEGI)

What is it?
A bunch of mini-games based around the touch-screen and microphone inputs. Old for a DS game.

Is it fun?
Very briefly.

Is it worth the money? Around £8-£10 preowned.
Noooooooo. Not at all. Not even the £7.97 I paid for it.

Maybe if you can find it for £2 at a garage sale.

Why not?

There’s no thinking involved. Every mini-game really is just a case of poke the dots on the screen, trace the line or blow/shout down the microphone but with none of that pesky stuff like tactics. Their idea of making it more challenging later on was to give you three of the levels you’ve already done, but change the colour scheme, make you tap the screen more times to achieve the same end and make you do them back to back so if you fail on the third, you have to play through the previous two segments again. Yawn.

Finding the hidden rabbits is also pretty dull as it pretty much involves randomly tapping bits of the cut-scenes (goldfish) and hitting the back button to watch them again if you missed. And what do you get if you find enough rabbits? A new pair of shoes for the girl silhouette. W00t Crap!

Rubbish game. I returned it after 2 days and bought Tetris DS. Much more worthwhile investment :)
