Game Review of Perfect Balance 3

Perfect Balance 3 is a simple puzzle game where the object is to balance a bunch of shapes in a stage filled with gadgets and other shapes. The goal is to prevent the shapes from falling in pits (not balancing) in which case you must start the stage over again. While the game is extremely simple, it can get quite addicting as a player may notice themselves wanting to retry a stage after getting "close" the time before. One nice feature of this game is that after you complete a level you have the option of trying to balance additional tiles in an attempt to score bonus points. However, the quality features ends there. The game is equipped with a map editor, but unfortunately the editor is so poor and hard to customize that it is a drag trying to create a unique level. For example, in order to place an object in the editor you must scroll through every single object one-by-one just to find the object you like; it is a waste of time if you ask me. People do not play games for their sound and graphics but sometimes great visual and audio effects can be a nice addition to a game with good gameplay. Unfortunately, Perfect Balance 3 will not be scoring very high marks in these departments. Overall, the game is addicting but less then stellar which is why I give it a rating of 3 out of 5.
