Summary

[WiiWare] Use colored triangular panels to create a vibrant mosaic of stained glass in Art Style: ROTOHEX. As triangles fall from the top of the screen, rotate them to group six panels of the same color and create a matching hexagon, or HEX. Once the HEX has been formed, it will disappear, allowing the existing panels to shift and more panels to fill the playing field. A clear-cut goal and two different styles of intuitive controls allow you to focus solely on the game play-which is vital, as the playing field will be full of panels before you know it. With multiple modes (unlock more as you progress further in SOLO mode), special item panels at your disposal, and the ability to play cooperatively or competitively with a friend, there will always be another HEX to create. [Nintendo]

IGN

Complain all you want that there’s no online support or additional single player options, but that’s not keeping Rotohex from being fun as hell and one heck of a bargain on the Wii.

Nintendo Life

Not only is Rotohex extremely well executed, but it has this certain addictive quality that makes it a lot of fun to play in quick bursts.

Official Nintendo Magazine UK

Rotohex isn't quite as enjoyable as the other two Art Style games but that's not to say it isn't a worthy purchase for dedicated puzzle fans in the market for a smart, relaxing title to while away the hours to. [Jan 2009, p.101]

NintendoWorldReport

There isn't as much depth as you wish there was.

Eurogamer

It's really only the sprint mode that is new to this version, with everything else much the same as it was on the GBA.

NGamer UK

Totally gimmick-free puzzling that ends up feeling a little too sparse. [June 2009, p.73]

GameSpot

There's no escaping the been-there, done-that feel of Rotohex.
