Gamespot: Art Style: ORBIENT Review

Art Style: Orbient's bizarre take on Newtonian physics would probably make scientists uncomfortable, but it also makes for a unique puzzle game. In this single-player journey through 50 galactic levels, you manipulate gravity to maneuver a planetoid around a small two-dimensional cross section of the cosmos, increasing its diameter and drawing satellites into its orbit along the way. Orbient is unlikely to rock your universe and keep you glued to the screen, but six dollars (600 Nintendo points) is an easy-to-stomach price for some easygoing entertainment.

The Good:
* Clever, physics-based puzzles
* Several hours of gameplay for only six dollars
* Smooth learning curve.

The Bad:
* Doesn't have that must-play addictive appeal
* Lackluster presentation.
