The ‘Bliss Island’ is a game from Codemasters released for the Xbox, PSP, PC and Nintendo. The game sounds quite blissful by its title, but in reality there is nothing like that in the game. It is a quite dull game which does not provide the necessary fun and excitement. The plot of the game does not demand any hard work from the player. There is no necessity for application of logical reasoning or complex calculations. This is a simple game that has not been expressed properly.
This is a single player game, and is categorized as ‘adventure‘. The game takes the players through a series of adventures through a handful of mini games. These mini games are further broken down into many stages. The mini games include dull versions of most of the free games available over the web. The games in Bliss Island are complete with a text introduction and some fireworks at the end of each of the three levels of difficulty. These mini games could also be individually tackled in a challenge mode.
The only character that creates a connection between these mini games is called ‘Zwooph’. It is a mythical creature, which shoots puffs of air to make clouds. Each mini game in the series makes use of this air jet concept and some physics to create puzzles and basic gameplay. Out of all the mini games, it is the ‘Cave Adventures’ that could be much appealing to the players. It is in fact more similar to the famous ‘helicopter flash game’, but it is the only bright spot in the Bliss Island.
The graphics that are used for the action sequences and the menus are not attractive. The textures used in the game are of low resolution and fails to provide the HD quality. It is made clear that Bliss Island was targeting the casual market with its simple design and bright visuals. With mini games such as the Soccer, a brick invaders game and a race to collect fruit, Bliss Island could be considered as a collection of simple games assembled together by a character.
