  • Summary: Using the Wii Remote, players navigate their balls through a series of complex 3D mazes. No complicated button combinations are required - just the tilt of the Wii Remote to tip and tilt the game environment in all directions. Each ball in the game has its own level of response, speed, slide and bounce, so the player must choose his balls carefully in order to successfully complete Kororinpa. As more mazes are completed, additional balls are be made available to choose from. These include balls such as ladybug, cat, penguin, watermelon and pig. Players can also go head-to-head with another player, splitting the screen horizontally or vertically, where the winner is the player to collect all the red crystals and reach the goal first. The game includes more than 50 mazes and five different environments, each with its own unique music, obstacles and visual style to enjoy.… Expand

    It's been nicely designed and it uses the Wii-mote's tilt motion-sensors to perfection. Those who need more action and get easily frustrated might not enjoy the game as much.

    I found this game to be very addictive and as an adult I like that it requires subtlety in movement rather than thumb mashing and wild swinging. I would certainly by more games like this, keep them coming.… Expand

    What a perfect game for the Wii! And given how few good games are available at this time for the console, it's especially good. The graphics are clear and very well designed, and the music is pleasant and unobtrusive. Perfect for my little ones.… Expand

    I'm not a gamer. Bought a WII this year at age 63. I'm an engineer and found this game quite a challenge in its 3D puzzles. I did get all 45 levels and was a bit disappointed to only unlock the mirror puzzles. But I had many, many enjoyable, and at times frustrating, hours. Looking forward to a sequel.… Expand
