    Sandy Beach is an extremely simple, casually-focused creation tool with a flimsy little tower defense mode added on.

    Having two game modes is good because there is a little something for everyone here. The first game type rewards right-brained creative types while the second game is designed for more analytical left-brainiacs. Unfortunately, both types of people will most likely feel somewhat unsatisfied by each; they are both very simple, lacking in repeat play value, and suffer from unforgivably clumsy controls.

    Much like a real sandcastle, it's fun for an hour or so then becomes a washout. [Oct 2010, p.97]

    Every bit as dull as it sounds, and with sloppy controls to boot. [Issue#231, p.95]

    You'll spend so much time fighting the Wii Remote and accidentally building towers in the wrong places that you might as well just go to a backyard sandbox or actual beach.
