Pipemania – it might say nothing to you. But the game principle is familiar. Various Pipemania clones, with the same type of pipe focused gameplay, have been available for the computer since the DOS days. At any rate, the idea of stress-filled pipe building is so encouraging that Empire Interactive has undertaken it upon themselves to revive the series.
The title, which should come with five different game modes, seven settings, and more than 70 levels, is set to be released for the Wii, PS2, PC and PSP. The only question is whether a reworked version of the old age principle can thrill today’s gamers. Resuscitating Rainbow Island, for example, turned out rather poorly, while the new edition of Final Fantasy was also a letdown. One, not unimportant reason, is that many better games and clones have been released since the time of the originals. The name will help little if the gameplay is outdated. Nevertheless, Pipemania could turn out to be a fun low budget title worth picking up.
