A quirky Japanese game for those who love, well, quirky Japanese games.
Story
Errrrr, well theres this guy Mr. Domino, and his wife Mrs. Domino. They run around the world and set up dominos. Then they knock them down. Thats about it.
Gameplay
Here's how the game works. You start in a position on the board with a set number of dominos. you run around the board, setting up dominos in a single line and avoiding obsticles. On the board there are little actions that go off when a domino lands on the corresponding button. The end of the action happens on a flashing pink space. Your goal is to hit all or enough of the actions to clear the level. The more you get in a single line, the higher your points. There are six levels, each with their own theme. The actions are where the game really shines. Some are ridiculously funny. A desk flies out a window. A sumo wrestler launches a rock off a seesaw. A boxing glove springs from a TV set and knocks out a guy. A woman tries to pull a roast out of an oven only to be replaced by a bomb. If you ever loved random comedy, this is the perfect game for you. You lose the game if you spend too much time in the level or if you run out of dominos.
Controls
Left moves you to the next track on the left. Right to the right. Holding any button places a line of dominos. Easy eh?
Graphics
Good for the PS1 but all the characters are in 2D and all the theme elements are pretty much basic polygons.
Sound
Classic. The music grows on you the more you play. The during the actions are great. One I really remember is when the Exclamation marks come from a cereal box featuring the famous painting The Screamer.
Overall
Now this is a fun game. If you like games that are just fun and don't have a real story, then this game is for you. If you like games that you can just pick up and play, then pick this one up; its a real treat.
