Summary

Roogoo tasks players with guiding meteors in the form of shaped blocks through a series of rotating disks as a means of saving planet Roo and the entire Roogoo race. If aligned correctly, the disks allow the blocks to reach the ground and scores are awarded. Various obstacles and enemies will impede the blocks’ movement and with the flow of meteor blocks steadily increasing as the game progresses, players will have to think on their feet to save the Roogoo and rack up seriously high scores. The Nintendo DS version boasts the same 3D gameplay that utilizes both screens, along with new levels, backgrounds and puzzle shapes unique to the handheld. [SouthPeak Games]

NintendoWorldReport

The storyline is adorable and fun, and the game does a great job of breaking up the monotony with different ideas. It might be a bit simplistic, but it's still a solid game with a lot to do.

GameSpy

Roogoo Attack! is a great little puzzle game. It has a stupid story, but with a ton of levels -- several more which can be unlocked by linking the DS version with the Wii version once -- and some great single-cart multiplayer play, it's a fantastic choice for any DS owner who's up for one heckuva challenge.

Worth a look for puzzle fans. [Oct 2009, p.69]

Worth Playing

Will Roogoo Attack! set the world on fire with its stellar visuals? Let's remember that this is a DS game. Will it revolutionize the puzzle genre? No, but it's got a few fun bits that others could easily implement into their titles. Is it a solid, fun little game for $20 that will keep you coming back? Yes, and never forget: That's the most important quality of all.

Games Master UK

Ignore the pointless story and this is a compelling and addictive puzzler that'll really test your reactions. [Sept 2009, p.82]

Da Gameboyz

Considering the 20 dollar price tag, Roogoo Attack is not a bad little puzzle game for gamers on the go.

Roogoo Attack is harmless enough, but unlike the best puzzlers, it won't get under your skin.

Overall, Roogoo is a nice game to play on the DS.

Even those smile-inducing, polished-to-a-shine graphics and enjoyable multiplayer modes do little to alleviate the ennui Roogoo Attack! inevitably conjures.

Cheat Code Central

There's a lot of value, with 100 puzzles and three skill levels, but the game isn't very fun to play.

Zentendo

Roogoo Attack! fixes a number of problems from the Wii version, but the core game just is not compelling enough to really warrant a purchase. The puzzle genre is well represented on the Nintendo DS, and a title this basic simply belongs on the DSi shop, and not taking up space at retail in in your DS game slot.

It doesn't stay interesting for very long. [July 2009, p.88]
