Reviews for Room Ten (#4240)

Review by Matt_B on 05 Feb 2009 (Rating: 4)

Programmed by Chris Newcombe and designed by Pete Cooke this game had a lot to live up to, coming after Cooke's sprawling 3D epic Tau Ceti.

It's basically Pong in 3D, and there lies both its strength and it's weakness. It's a good game because a well made Pong clone is always good fun, and the 3D element gives it a nice twist. However, like Pong, it's a rather limited game which you're probably going to tire of rather quickly. Especially so if you can't find a second player as the computer opponent is rather easily thrashed after a modicum of practice.

This would have made a decent budget title, but released at full price it wasn't terribly good value. The Light Corridor and Ballblazer are a couple of games take the concept a bit further and are worth a look if you like that sort of thing.

Its Pong in 3D, and its absorbing,and playable.
I've heard that the computer opponent is quite easy to best, but haven't put enough time in to find every game easy.
A nice clear idea well implemented - as you might expect with Pete Cooke's name in the credits.
Probably a lot of fun 2 Player as well.
