At first I was just wrapping a beautifully polished string around an equally polished block of wood. The physics (yes it is a physics concept of tension and friction) of the rope are great and very true to life. However, I then started really thinking about how I would wrap the block and made it into a puzzle. It became very challenging and now I realize what the hype was about. The concept of this is amazing. Who knew that so much thought could go into such a simple idea. I won't be buying this for a while and only if there's a price drop, but now at least I see why it's so great.

You wrap a piece of wood with string. That definitely beats gunning down Nazi's in BiA or slashing monsters in Hero of Sparta. What the hell is up with is? You wrap a piece of wood with string.

The production quality is excellent: very immersive music and sound, the graphics and textures are lovely, and the controls feel right on. That said, I still don't see what all the fuss is about. Wrapping up a wooden object in string is just not that interesting to me. A highly polished game with an uninteresting concept is definitely not worth $5 for the full version, at least not for me. I guess either you "get it", or you don't. To each their own. Glad the Lite version became available so I could at least try it out.
