Well it is, it has a puzzle based idea very similar to B.A.M and I think that Whoever made the game have just put it in glitzy packaging and made it all explode like the ending of Meet Joe Black (Very Good Film!) I don't think that it warrants a percentage rating for being unoriginal to a very large extent! I think puzzle games are very entertaining for a long time but as good as the game looks I think it is an easy way out of making money and doesn't deserve to be able to sell @ the price of games that have had a lot of good work done on the like Shenmue and Banjo-Tooie not forgetting Zelda: The Ocarina of Time and Dinosaur Planet!

I seriously think this could be Sony's fatal flaw to losing some of its followers. I just Pray that Nintendo don't do the same.

Yes it is similar to Bust-a-Move. Though having said that, I'd rather see someone take an established idea, give it a twist, and update it for a next-gen machine. Rather than see yet another Bust-a-Move (which also happens to be available on the PS2 already!).

The price is a bit steep, especially considering it's not that hard really. I was a little disappointed by the lack of things to do, and to unlock. And as I've said elsewhere, it doesn't have the 'one more go' feel to it (unlike some PS1 puzzlers like Kurushi or Super Puzzle Fighter). If they ever decide to make a sequel, some tweaks here and there could make it a great puzzle game. At the moment, it's more of a novelty.
