Zenses Rainforest
SCORE: 94
Zenses Rainforest is part puzzle game, and part relaxation therapy. The Nintendo DS has gotten a lot of different kind of titles, and this is definitely innovative in the audio department. The entire theme of the game is also innovative. There are six puzzle games included in Zenses Rainforest. The backgrounds are full of rainforest imagery, with sounds that are relaxing, soothing, and calming. The Game Factory has gone an interesting direction with Zenses Rainforest that works better in real life than it sounds on paper (editor: or digitally on screen). The puzzle games included are Treasure Spin, Stack Jack, Twist'n'Turn, Flower Board, Sapphire Wheel, and Solitaire. The Solitaire game is not the card game most are accustomed to, but a puzzle game that has the player jumping them until the last one lands on a specific space.
Zenses Rainforest looks fantastic. The background images fill the two screens setting the entire mood for each and every single one of the puzzle games included. The pictures of the rainforest are beautiful beyond imagination. It makes me marvel at what God has created on this little planet. There are plenty of wholesome images, and Zenses Rainforest teaches players to think.
Even when I had problems with a particular game, or level I was not frustrated with this game. Zenses Rainforest has such great calming music that it made losing a level feel okay. The Game Factory has found an impressive formula with this. I could sit and listen to this game play its music for a long time, and just enjoy it. I found the music in Zenses Rainforest works great during prayer time. It put me in the right kind of a mood to talk to God.
There are enough puzzle games to keep every intelligent family member busy for quite some time. Zenses Rainforest may be a great opportunity to teach sharing, and patience. If you are stressed out, then I highly recommend a purchase of Zenses Rainforest.
Controls are very important in any video game. I have played quite a few games in my life with bad controls. Thankfully Zenses Rainforest controls the way I would expect it to. The diversity of the games included in Zenses Rainforest keep the action up to date as well.
Zenses Rainforest is the digital way to stop and smell the roses. I
am personally thankful to The Game Factory for publishing this game. It
was my honor to be able to play and review Zenses Rainforest. I hope
everyone out there reading this review supports this game, so there will
be more of them in the near future.
