IGN: Bruiser and Scratch Review
The visuals are merely passable — some of the background geometry surrounding boards is interesting. For instance, an oblivious cow grazing on a platform suspended in mid-air. Little bits of vegetation that threatens to crawl into the board. But the character models lack animation and the textures are usually a little blurrier than they ought to be, even for a WiiWare title.
On the other hand, the puzzles are smart and the controls work well, even if they are extremely simple. If you like brain-teasers, you will definitely enjoy some of the hurdles that await you as you try to devise ways to combine on-board objects to complete the main challenge, all the while scratching your head. And the good news is that there are plenty of boards to keep you going.
