    Though derivative, Egg Mania provides a perspective on the Tetris formula that's fresh enough and an adequate amount of gameplay variety to keep puzzle fans engaged.

    Truly addictive personalities will find a new puzzle challenge, but Egg Mania: Eggstreme Madness just doesn't have the jam to hold the attention of less obsessive gamers.

    It's just a game concept that wears off quickly.

    A harmless diversion that any "Tetris" addict will be able to pick up and beat in an hour or two. [Winter 2002, p.102]

The whole egg theme is a bit lame at 1st, but admitedly it grew on me. Now I kinda like the eggs. The game plays similar to tetris but there's an egg person on screen grabbing and arranging all the blocks.. Instead of making lines, you must make a structurally sound platform with the blocks.

It's solid and addictive enough to become a permanent fixture in the puzzle gaming genera, but I think the title and egg theme keep it from mainstream popularity.
