    Default Wow, Polarium (Nintendo DS) is only $10 shipped at Amazon.

    So, how's this game? I just bought it here.

    Reading a few reviews of it, it's apparently a puzzle game involving the colors black and white. I didn't really understand the goal of it, though. Can someone elaborate?

    You basically flip tiles so they match colors and dissapear. It's a brutally hard title. I'm trying to remember why I gave it such a high score though. I don't think I actually liked it!

    I really enjoyed it. The Challenge mode is kind of a joke, but the real meat of the game is Puzzle Mode. With only 100 puzzles, you may find the game short, but hell, for only ten bucks, it's a steal!

    Personally I preferred the challenge mode to puzzle mode. Basically you flip tiles over from black to white and vice versa and when all in a line are the same colour they dissapear. In challenge mode blocks keep falling from the sky in a preset fashion and the aim is to clear 1000 lines (i.e. beat level 9), and this game is brutally hard to quote someone from above, i was absolutely hooked on it even though i only ever got somewhere in the mid-level 7; puzzle mode involves clearing a whole screen with one stylus stroke and there are 100 puzzles to clear although you can create your own or enter new ones via codes. I didn't like the puzzle mode that much and still someday want to beat the challenge mode. This was a great DS game and i think to date i have still put more hours into it than Meteos. At this price everyone should pick it up

    Wow Matt I'm amazed you gave it that hgih a score too. There's one thing about a game being brutally hard, but Polarium borders on unplayable after 3 minutes.

    I do enjoy the puzzle mode though.

    Yeah, I don't know what the hell I was thinking. This may be the first time I ever go back and change a score.

    This time lay off the whiskey when you review it.
