1up.com preview Super Rub a Dub

Monkey Ball meets Lemmings, in a tub of water.

It's funny how a single game can validate a whole controller. Or at least get pretty close.

The gameplay is simple. Everything happens on a single screen. You see a tub filled with water and plenty of ducklings lounging about. The player has to pick up the ducklings by hitting them with his duck and steering them towards the drain. While the tub is always shaped like a rectangle, it can have different layouts inside and lack walls in certain places (resulting in the duck falling off, if you are not careful).

2.1 - NO...OH GOD, Noooo!!!...

The monster you speak of, deepbrown, is Loco Roco.

Wife gave it to me for Christmas...so much singing...so much happiness & joy. You try to put it down...try...to...forget it.

But you can't.

Had to keep playing at all costs, until finished...

The music...oh God, the music!...Shhh...what's that???...Can...can you hear it???

Drat you, deepbrown, scarcely more than a week of completing the therapy and shock treatments, and the disturbing nightmares of the squishy bouncing balls begin anew!

...Avoid that curse of a game at all cost, deepbrown...run while you still can!!!!!

Sounds like what I'm going through now. Just bought LUMINES Plus for PS2 yesterday, and I can't get the music out of my head. It's like acoustical crack.

2.3 - Yeah, I've gathered that Lumines

is supposed to a great, highly addictive little puzzle game.

Is Lumines Plus the same as those released for the PSP? (I recall X-Play's review citing that Lumines 2 for PSP is nothing more that the first Lumines, but with music videos playing in the background.)

Sounds great. Maybe I'll pick up a copy!!!

...uh, on second thought, maybe not. ;-)

3 - I'll probably get both this and flow for mindless fun

It seams like a good example of a game using the controls. Not something that I want to play ALL the time. It doesn't look to captivating but, it could be fun. They're cheap too why not.

Loco Roco, I believe. You'd have to think they're bringing it over eventually.

5 - LocoRoco will probably be downloadable too

if they bring it over to the PSP's big bro. Not sure if they should make the graphics more realistic though...
