Fun for awhile, but with not much variety in the gameplay it can get pretty stale.
-
Disappointment about the lack of groundbreaking invention aside, Gunpey is a fun and intellectually interesting workout for your brain. If you're sick of falling blocks, or just need some new challenge to wrap the grey matter around, give it a go.
-
Unfortunately, the inherent design of the game just isn’t up to the standard of many other games in the action puzzle genre.
-
Nintendo PowerIt's easy to achieve proficiency in the game, and so difficult to fail, you may find that your skill and your interest in the game plateau quickly. [Dec. 2006, p.106]
-
Overall the puzzle game has some merit but it lacks in addictiveness because the design itself is a little too limiting for players to zone out in the same way that other games capture that mindset.
-
While it may lack the "zone out" factor of "Lumines," it has the amusement of "Meteos."
-
Average at best, a puzzle game that attempts to go above and beyond falling blocks, but falls quite a bit short in the end.
-
Edge MagazineSomething of a quirky offshoot than a bold new puzzling dawn. [Jan 2007, p.83]
-
Fun for a while, Gunpey just doesn't possess the deep gameplay required to be a classic puzzle game.
-
The relatively mediocre DS version of his puzzler will most likely be the only exposure that most gamers will get to what feels like an amazing design.
-
Only the most hardcore Tetsuya Mizuguchi fans will be able to put up with Gunpey's repetitive gameplay for long.
