Zoocube Video Game Review

Zoocube is the worst game ever created for the Gamecube. The game is pointless and will keep you playing for no more than 10 minutes. Once you realize how bad this game actually is, you will be asking yourself, why did I buy this?

Zoocube has a story so bad that most people will laugh. A mad doctor has been changing animals into odd shapes for years, once word gets out that he is actually planning the extinction of all animals, the people of the world unite and build a machine to save them. They call it the Zoocube and they placed the machine on the spaceship called the Ark. However, the doctor is captured before the Zoocube is needed. Recently, people have been spotting weird animal shapes around the world. The doctor has escaped! You are the world's best pilot and you must use the power of the Zoocube to save the world!

You control a six-sided cube in the middle of the screen. Animal shapes are falling from the top, left, and right of the screen. You must rotate the cube in order to match the same animal shapes, once a match is made the animal is free! Be careful though, only 5 animals are allowed on one side at a time. Moving the Zoocube is extremely difficult. The controls are so bad that the cube will rotate left when you want it to go right. There are also different types of play including Blind, where the color from the animals is gone making it very hard to match them.

The graphics are nothing amazing. Backgrounds are very cartoon-like and stationary. Circles in the animals are also not smooth. The background music is terrible and the cries of animals being freed is annoying. You may as well mute the television while playing.

Zoocube is a very, very bad game. If you are into puzzle games, I suggest playing Dr. Mario or Tetris, they are cheaper and just more fun. Don't ever consider buying or even renting this game, it is not worth the drive, unless you feel like a good laugh.
