You guide the goo through massive tunnels and water-filled pipes. You build towers amidst power lines that are buffeted by wind and rain. You scrape through the insides of coarse, smoky furnaces. Late in the game, you delve into another world that has an altogether uncanny spark.
You stick with the goo through all of these nearly tangible dangers, and this is why World of Goo is surprisingly moving. More than a cute, squishy romp, it's a long, tumultuous dance with nature.
Verdict: Buy it
