Summary
The original Incredible Machine, released in the early 90’s, was home to some of the most challenging puzzles ever devised. New for 2001, the game has finally received a second instalment. Even More Contraptions invites the world’s genii to be put to the test. Feeling all clever, are we? Let’s see how good you are.
First of all, for those of you new to the game and its methods, there is an in-depth tutorial section. Here, you will be able to familiarise yourself with the essential tools and parts of Incredible Machine. What’s more, you’ll have the chance to put your new-found skills into practice. Once ready, you can take on any of the game’s 250 puzzles. While they may appear simple at first, it isn’t long before the puzzles become complex and strategies need to be formed. New parts will begin to make an appearance and you will have to learn to use them to your advantage. In fact, in some situations, there is only one combination of parts that will see you complete the level successfully.
The learning curve is quite steep, yes, but the addictive quality of the game is so intense that players’ determination levels will increase ten-fold. Just try not to get carried away – spitting at TV’s and biting control pads is not healthy or economical. Incredible Machine is indeed a truly addictive game that focuses on intelligence and playability as opposed to graphical prowess.
