"PC is $5 more too."

Thats really the only valid reason. Here I go then!

I would add that I really like the Wiimote controls. Gives you a more tactile feeling of grabbing and placing.

I really haven't thought much about storage space but World of Goo left me with about 40 blocks left, but damn its so much fun and creative.

Get a 2GB SD card or something. It is well worth it now since that system update that allowed for higher transfer rates.

I hate the placement mechanic, I end up woth a long, node-less connection very often when I wanted to place a node with two connections somewhere, it's fatal in the tower of goo level because those long connections fail completely when the tower bends to the side.

You know you can remove the goo balls from the Tower of Goo, right?
Why must all things be so bright? Why can things not appear only in hues of brown! I am so serious about this! Dull colors are the future! The next generation! I will never accept a world with such bright colors! It is far too childish! I will rage against your cheery palette with my last breath!

I think he's talking about the level, not the Goo Corporation Tower of Goo.

If that's the level I think it is I'm pretty sure it was mostly the green goo balls that you can remove and replace.

On the levels you can click on the birds and it will undo your last action.

I found on that level you have to keep the weight equal on both sides.Also you need a stable foundation.

Yeah but I usually have already placed a few more blobs after the one that started the failure and I'd prefer if I didn't have to spend my limited undos on things that happen purely because of control detection errors (which also cannot be worked around later since a long vertical connection prevents the placing of a horizontal connection).

KDR the way I beat the level is to have a good foundation and I would build up and out.You just got to make sure that both sides are equal in balance while you work up.

normally I don't like bumping threads like this but this game is too good not to keep prasing it. Now i've had the game for awhile now, downloaded on the raving recommendations flying around here, and the second the title screen came up with that Tim Burton inspired Danny Elfman-like music.. i knew i was in for something special. I was not dissapointed at all.

I played the game with my girlfriend a few times and she loves it, in fact she's gotten further in it than i have (i gifted her the game and she has some more time to play it than i do). I let a friend play it once when he was over, while i stepped out to take care of something, and when i came back he looked like a zombie, as if his soul had been sucked into one of those damn pips along with the goo balls! He loved it too and wished he had a wii just to download it (at the time i wasn't aware it was available for PC). The funny thing is though, as i watched him play i realized how our personalities show in the game. I'm a little more reckless and impatient than he is, but he's the opposite. Trying to build a bridge across a gap, i saw him take his time make a super sturdy foundation... only to make it across to the pipe and not have enough goo balls left. I show him how i did it and he laughed at my wobbly bridge, but shut him up when i made it across with goo balls to spare.

Oh and the music.. phenomanal. In fact.. I downloaded the sountrack recently and I was hoping maybe someone could help me find any sort of official track listing. Some of the file names could be titles, but others are simple, unappealing things like "bigcomputer_1" and "notld_anthem_excerpt1"

Blasphemy, I know...

It's ok i hit a few of those in chapter 3, i thought they were impossible but i got some sleep after playing for hours and being up late. When you go back to it with a clean slate so to speak, things become easier to figure out. One of the worst was at the end of chapter 2...

i actually had to use a youtube video to figure this out, and although it was probably the most unorthodox way of completing the level, it helped. It's the one called Red Carpet or something. You start off on some giant block that you have to weigh down to release a wall holding back a giant goo ball that will roll down and (with the right structure built) roll and bounce to the far right where it'll get broken up into tiny red goo balls that you must feed to the pipe. The youtube video i saw bypassed weighing the block down all together but in such a way i didn't think was possible. Made me look at the levels in a whole new way. It helped alot later on too..

Thank
The World Of Goo soundtrack is available for free here.

It's magical.

Thanks vudu!!!!

I did just finish downloading a second torrent last night, and unzipped the files today and am currently listening to the tracks. Some of them are still short excerpts like the last torrent I downloaded, so I'll still check out the link you provided to see which is better and as Mr. Jack said, it's going straight to my ipod!

Is it wrong to say I prefer this soundtrack to Mario Galaxy's ;)
