Tropix: An Entertaining Collection of 11 Minigames in One
Thursday, December 18th, 2008Are you sick of slaying all those zombies and protecting the pretty creatures for no reason? It’s time for a vacation as you desperately need a change. So pack your bags and prepare your DS Lite to have a great time in a Tropical island.
Relax! You don’t have to do that literally. All you need is to buy this new game called Tropix and enjoy the change. It is a wonderful collection of 11 minigames meant for everyone above 10 years of age. However, you may perceive it as a kiddish collection but it is actually a relaxing game that ensures great fun. Ideal for refreshing the joys of gaming, Tropix’s assortment contains familiar favourites like Sudoku, Solitaire and bowling. While none of these single mini games are quite as in depth as standalone DS titles of the same type of game, such as Essential Sudoku for the DS, they are still implemented quite well. Then there are some interesting puzzles like match-three-fruits-in-a-row challenge and a Zuma clone. The Tropical dish is finally garnished with a mix of light action games like parasailing and vine swinging.
The touch screen and stylus controls work well and you can also enhance the fun by earning more sand dollars to get more goodies. So purchase more stuff and unlock better options… I mean more games. And if you want your buddies to join in, you can use the option of a multi-card play. One thing that is common in all the games of Tropix is the simplicity and ease. The casual gaming style will particularly impress people who like to play relaxing and light games.
So if you have a dream of visiting a Tropical island, you can get a hang of coconut bowling and other jungle playoffs in Tropix.
