So here we are again, looking at a way to kill time on the train, at the airport or even just sitting at the mall. If you are doing the latter, Jenga from NaturalMotionGames is a great choice. If you happen to be moving around in a car, not so much.
Jenga is a direct play off the original block stacking game from Parker Brothers where you remove blocks from the bottom of a stack, place them on top of the stack, all while not trying to knock said stack over. Everyone's seen it, almost everyone's played it, but not many have tried it on a touch screen.
The controls were remarkably good - especially on a screen the size of the EVO's, but we can see where smaller screens would present a real challenge. The graphics are phenomenal, the play was quick and exciting and overall, the game gets a positive thumbs up.
The only issue we found with game play is that if you're moving, forget about it. One slight bump, jump or flick, your blocks are tumbling.
Jenga: 3 out of 5 - Available for $2.99 from the Android Market or Amazon Appstore
