Zoom!

Fantastic introduction piece, ability to start on any of the first ten levels and numerous humorous in-game touches. Brilliant sprites, funny animation and all-round good use of colour. A load of great samples and tunes. The simple gameplay is an absolute doddle to get into... ... and it's as easy to get completely hooked. Another old game given a new lease of life and it's well funny to boot!

It is hard to say what type of dude would really enjoy Zoom; personally I think it is absolutely brilliant. Not too complex but still enjoyable, no really stunning graphics or sound but still very good ones that are clear and attractive. The whole game has a really concentrated feeling of slickness about it. But although I may rave you may wish to think carefully before buying, as this type of very basic gameplay may only appeal to the very basic minded – like myself, for instance.

For the most part, this is a good game. It has its share of flaws, but you should find it above average overall.

If you have someone very young in your family you want to play beginner games with together, Zoom! makes an average choice. It lacks violence, can be played by two people, and is easy to learn and play. Don't buy this if it's for you only. The game is too monotonous, finished quickly, and the original gameplay with its few ideas can't make up for that very long.
