G Prime
SCORE: 78
I am thankful Family Friendly Gaming was provided a download code for
G Prime on the Xbox One. This downloadable only home console game clocks
in at 1.2 gigs in memory and download usage. To make matters even worse
for families on an Internet budget is you can only play G Prime online.
I am not clear why we have to always connect online to play G Prime.
This game should offer an offline only mode.
G Prime may sound familiar to some of our long time readers. Why is
that? Because of the video game called G that was released on the
iPhone, and Personal Computer (PC). G Prime is not just a port though.
Soma Games fleshed it out and made it the complete game they wanted G to
be. So you could say G Prime is the editor's cut version of the G game.
The gravity game play mechanics are pretty good in G Prime. I enjoy the
limited rocket thruster availability in G Prime. It can help families
reach that final beacon. Make sure you trigger the ping when you are
close enough to each of the beacons. The fewer rockets used in a level,
the higher your score and in game currency reward. Scores can also be
compared to other players if you are into that.
I did not remember how hard this game can be. G Prime makes players
think about their actions. Finding the best course of action is always
wise. Taking time to plot out the proper course is even wiser. Do not
expect you will blitz through G Prime on the Xbox One. You might even
need to seek out some assistance in some of the levels in G Prime. Or
frustration will ensue.
G Prime is not for everyone. If you are interested in a challenging
physics puzzler, and you can download video games then take a look at G
Prime. There is decent graphics, decent voice acting, and moody music.
Rockets that are sent out to ping locations will explode when they hit
objects, when they finish a level, and when they go too far out into
space. Yellow sparks will go out at the start of a level to show players
where the launched rocket will go based on the gravity in that area.
