    Ghost Mania is a fun, challenging, and well-developed puzzle game.

    Ghost Mania is a strong product and a solid addition to your WiiWare library, especially if you're running a little thin on the ground when it comes to puzzlers.

    Ghost Mania is a puzle game, a crowded genre in WiiWare, which has something to offer, thanks to its gameplay peculiarities. These can make Ghost Mania become an addictive game or a boring one, depending on the user taste.

    As it stands, Ghost Mania is a diverting but non-essential 500 point purchase.

    While it has its moments, it ultimately fails to give enough incentive to spend 500 points on a so-so game, especially when there are many, far more competent examples of the genre on the market.

    Ghost Mania provides its audience with a charming visual presentation and some admittedly catchy music, but the gameplay experience is subpar, and the puzzles are not all that engaging.

    We find the randomness of the block fall - the low spirit count, in particular - can, and often does, leave the game unwinnable. [Mar 2011, p.93]
