WorthPlaying Review - 'LOL'

WorthPlaying writes: "Certain things just cannot really be reviewed and give you a full context. At first glance, LOL is one of those things. The very concept of the game is one that is centered entirely on creativity - not on the part of the designer, but the player. There are almost no rules in its ludicrous simplicity, resulting in wanting to rate this game not so much as a game, but as a cheap Microsoft Paint clone with rules and silly graphics attached. Unfortunately, once you realize that that pretty much is all there is to LOL, it quickly skitters into "not worth purchasing" territory.

LOL's basic premise is that only one cartridge is required, and up to three other players can join in on the game. Want to play by yourself? That's too bad because there is no single-player component whatsoever. Once the downloads are finished, then the host gets an empty white screen, and scribbles whatever he wants onto it. Everyone gets that screen and writes out their responses. Then the host reveals the responses in whatever order he feels like, and everyone votes on it. After the votes decide who wins, you repeat the process from the host's screen."
