| Graphics: 3 Stars :Average: The graphics for Slingo | | | | forgettable. I strongly suggest putting your iPod on |
| Quest Hawaii, are on par with the current casual | | | | speakers mode, and turning down the sound FX to a |
| gaming fare. Cutesy pictures of anime type boys and | | | | minimum. At least the designers had the common |
| girls dressed in stereotypical Hawaiian garb. The | | | | sense to separate out the two options so "iPod mode" |
| setting is mostly tropical (hence the Hawaii tie in), so it's | | | | was a player option. |
| a little more fun to play on a cold winters day. | | | | Intelligence: 3 Stars :Average: Well, this is just a shinier, |
| Interface: 4 Stars :Good: The game interface is | | | | prettier version of Slingo Quest, and we all know what |
| certainly adequate for the task at hand. This is pretty | | | | that means. The intelligence of your enemies is about |
| much a very simple game to play, and the designers | | | | the same as it was 10 years ago, when the game first |
| know their demographic is not the hard core gamer | | | | came out. The Slingo aficionados in the crowd won't |
| crowd. Basically, if you can point and click you'll have | | | | mind as it's what they expect. |
| no problem playing the game and navigating around | | | | Difficulty: 3 Stars :Average: It's as difficult, as you want |
| the menus. | | | | it to be. For the true addicts in the crown, the real |
| Gameplay 3 Stars :Average: This is another variant on | | | | difficulty will be walking away from the game. Slingo |
| the tried and true Slingo, so everyone knows, the | | | | has its appeal, and it's fan base, and you know who |
| game play works. When I say it works, I mean it's both | | | | you are. For the rest of us, it's not really that difficult to |
| fun and addictive to the right person. Slingo has been | | | | beat, but it does feel a little random. Not to impose |
| around for over ten years, so it will be engaging for | | | | new generation values on an older game, but the |
| anyone who enjoys simple bingo / slots style of | | | | difficulty doesn't always seem to coincide with the skill |
| gaming | | | | of the player. |
| Sound FX: 2 Stars :Below Average: I was a little | | | | Overall: 3 Stars "Average: There should probably be |
| disappointed with both the music and sound FX here. | | | | two overall ratings here. A five star rating for the |
| While Quest Hawaii, is an obvious rehashing of a tried | | | | Slingo-Fan-Boys-&-Girls in the audience, and a |
| and true game, with a new shiny coat of paint, I would | | | | three star review for the rest of us. I went for an |
| have hoped the designers would have allocated a little | | | | official 3 star rating, as that's how Slingo compares to |
| more budget to sounds. I'm quite sure many of the | | | | the majority of games on the market today. Given the |
| sounds I heard were the same old sounds from Slingo | | | | plethora of free Slingo demos around, it won't cost you |
| Deluxe, and Slingo Quest (the original quest). | | | | anything besides about 15 minutes of your time, and a |
| Music: 2 Stars :Below Average: As I alluded to in the | | | | little download bandwidth, to find out if Slingo Quest |
| Sound FX category, the music here is pretty | | | | Hawaii is the game for you. |
