Summary

Jenga is based on the world famous wooden block tower building game. Designed to make the most of the innovative control systems on the Wii and DS, the game offers unpredictable, quick- paced, tactical play that combines suspense and risk-taking, where mounting anticipation comes to a crashing climax. Players of the Wii version can get physical with the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers as they battle to keep the Jenga tower from falling, while on the DS the touch screen provides equally intuitive control of the fast-paced action. Players experience sophisticated physics, and a multitude of game-play options (single and multiplayer). The game contains all the fun, intensity and challenge of the original boxed game with a wealth of exciting new enhancements, power-ups and twists that are possible only in the videogame world.

Cheat Code Central

If you really want some Jenga action, you'll be far better off buying the classic block game and make the loser reset the tower.

Official Nintendo Magazine UK

The Wii Remote hasn't been used well here and it's trickier than playing it for real. And it's Jenga - do we really need this? [Apr 2008, p.88]

Worth Playing

This is just a poor title, taking advantage of a well-recognized Jenga license, neither doing justice to the original game nor supplementing it with features that might make the Wii video game version fun, even if it were still a bad simulation.

“Broken” is the only fitting adjective here.

Games Radar (in-house)

The very concept of Jenga tilts towards mediocrity, but this game sends it collapsing into utter awfulness.

PTGamers

Jenga is here just to fill the gap, with no attention to quality whatsoever, only to make a quick buck at the expense of distracted fans.

Game Almighty

Just stay away, you will be a happier person overall, and laugh at those who have not heeded the warnings and decided to spend $30 on this travesty of a game.

GameSpot

Horrid AI, broken physics, and terrible game design conspire to topple Jenga World Tour.

GameDaily

The Tour stages are dreadful, causing unnecessary distractions and slowdown. Skip this horrible World Tour and play the real thing.

Game Informer

Whatever strange, mirror universe insanity might lead you to play a video game version of Jenga rather than the real thing, you are unlikely to advance past the first few games.

AceGamez

Buy the classic wooden blocks and spend the change on nachos and a beverage. Not only will you shell out half the money you'd otherwise waste on Jenga: World Tour but you will still have a soul afterwards and you might actually have a good time.

IGN

The computer A.I. is horrible, the physics in the game cause slowdown, the control is sluggish due to a rubber band design for grabbing blocks, and we can' t believe we're even listing off reasons not to buy a game based off a $10 box of blocks.

Gaming Age

Careful play simply is not rewarded because the physics of the game are grossly inconsistent.

Misery may love company, but your company will hate you for inflicting this game upon them.
