There are not many games that make as effective use of three dimensions as PullBlox does. That is a thought that has stuck with me throughout the time I have spent playing PullBlox, as it can be seen that the 3DS is the perfect home for this charming little game. Hidden behind an extremely colourful presentation is a very clever puzzle game that challenges the player to push and pull different shaped blocks in order to reach the top of differently themed structures. After the player learns the basics of assembling steps in order to climb higher, the game introduces new elements such as pipes and switches to alter the puzzles and provide a greater variety of challenges.
As previously hinted, the game makes excellent use of the 3DS's visual capabilities, and is a game that really benefits from the use of stereoscopic 3D, unlike some of the other offerings on Nintendo's newest handheld. The game has a huge number of challenges to get through, so for the relatively cheap price tag this game offers excellent value. Not only that, however, but the game has a puzzle creator mode that lets players (you guessed it) create their own puzzles.These creations can be shared with other users via QR codes, and a quick look on google images shows the exceptionally clever offerings produced by the games players. Granted, if you're not much of a puzzle game fan, then this game won't have much appeal, but if you are partial for a bit of a work out for the old grey matter, then this game, just as Polarium was on the original DS, is the first essential puzzler for the 3DS.
Standout Moment: Downloading other players' fantastic puzzles.
