Sorry about that title, but I felt that this was too awesome to describe with normal letters. I have this game in real life, and its nice to see a virtual version on NG. If your wondering about the different ratings, here goes. Graphics: Circles aren't groundbreaking. Nothing bad-looking though.
Sound: Good use of sound loop.
Violence: Hundreds of colored stones massacre-ing each other
Interactivity: Game-AI=Interactivity 10.
Humor: Funny how something so great could get a score as low as this did. (Of course not from your viewpoint though.
Overall: It owns me.
Also, I found a bug. If there is one empty space and the others are all controlled by one color, and its that color's turn, and they try to place the last piece in the last spot, it says its illegal because its suicide. Then if you pass and the other color puts it there it captures the whole board. I think it might work like that in the real game too, but it shouldn't IMO. (Isn't it hilarious that Atari means "In a position to be captured")?
Author's Response:
Thank you for the comprehensive review. You don't see many of those these days. That is how the game would work in real life, btw, and it is funny that that is what Atari means. I actually didn't know that it was a Go reference until I learned how to play Go.
