DEN: Pipe Mania Review

Pipe Mania is not a new idea. Then again, not many games are these days. Back in the 80s and 90s, this game was called Pipe Dream. Modern gamers might recognize it as the hacking minigame from Bioshock. In any case, the formula behind it has been around for decades: place random pipe pieces on a grid so that a liquid (seemingly invariably called "flooze") gets from point A to point B without spilling.

While the formula it's based on has aged considerably, Pipe Mania is saved from complete obsolescence by having a good variety of options, including puzzle and endless modes, as well as a story mode which adds enough variety to keep you interested as long as you ignore the… well, story. (Nintendo DS, PC, Pipe Mania, PS2, PSP) 7/10
