    Want to get a small PC game (my laptop isnt very good at gaming) and this seems to be one of the most interesting.
     
    So I was just wondering if anyone has any experiances of the game. I know there was a sale of it recently, however if it is worth the asking price I dont mind paying it.
     
    Thanks

    World of Goo is an AMAZING game, it's not just one of the best indie games I've ever played but also one of the best games I've ever played period. It is fully worth its asking price and more, you should get it no question.

    World of Goo is one of my all-time favorite puzzle games. It has a great sense of humor and the game itself is pretty fun too. I would definitely recommend it.

    Drop any game purchase you might be planning in the future for any system, and get World of Goo first. Period.

    I'm gonna be the odd one out and say no. I did not enjoy what I played of World of Goo. At all. When the most enjoyable aspect of a game is the way the cursor looks, something is seriously wrong. 
     
    You should play the demo, though, and see for yourself. Maybe you'll like it.

    I enjoyed it quite a lot. It was great fun, had some awesome music and the little characters of blobs and match sticks in it were really cute.
     
    It's quite difficult in some stages, so it provides a challenge that makes you re-try over and over. It's got some kick-ass physics. And the background animations are amazing.

    If you can find a way to get a demo of the game I'd highly advise you do that, it gives a very good look at the game, even if you can't though I'd still say it's worth getting.

    Everybody I've talked to and all the reviewers love this game, but I'm going to go with my gut this time which tells me that I'm not going to like it.  I mean, what do you even do?  Just paint everything?

    Eh? I think you are confusing it with De Blob here.
     
    Anyway, go get it. It is one heck of a game. I would recommended the Wiiware version, it is the same as the PC version but i liked the IR pointer control over the mouse, it feels "softer" if that makes any sense.

    You need it to be accurate?
    The game is simple as hell and the Wii Remote is perfect for controlling it.
    PC version is less fun that the Wii version you Wii Hater

    Yeah, you actually DO need it to be accurate. I can barely move the wiimote, its all shaky and whatnot. Sorry I am way more used to my mouse.

    No... I lift my arms about 5000 times a day during swim practice. I'm not lazy when it comes to physical activity. The wiimote is just literally less accurate than a mouse. That is truth

    If you have that much trouble controlling the Wii Remote you probably don't have your sensor set up right for the height of your TV, Having it set up properly makes a huge difference in the controls.  I have had to adjust the sensor at my mothers and a couple of friends places because their TV was to low/high for the sensor to work properly.
