Well this is just gret isn't it? all the fun you would expect from a Magnetism game, with added modes and literally hundreds (almost...) of levels!
As usual, the game eases you in gently before ramping up the difficulty hardcore, making you tear your hair out in frustration at trying to get the damn ball in the damn cup. Mode A is the classic mode, dropping the ball from a hook and letting gravity and the magnets do the rest of the work. This is more of a thinking game, as you have to weigh up all the options with regards to what the magnets are going to do to your ball. Mode B is the mode that is much more skill based, with you directly controlling the ball with your arrow keys. Again, there is still thinking involved to make sure that you're not going to have any nast run-ins with magnets.
New to this version of Magnetism is Mode C, which has you in direct control of the magnets and other objects, trying to get the ball in the cup as per usual. This is a real stumper, as sometimes you have to move the magnets whilst the ball is still moving without it touching you. Still, this is a great new addition to the series, and one that works really well.
Overall, this is a more than worthy successor to the original Magnetism game, with new crisper looking graphics and the same classic gameplay. There is hours of puzzling madness to be had here!
