I'm gonna say it now, I love writing reviews, and I hope you guys love reading them. Well, lets get to it, Insaniquarium! A game about feeding fish! Yeah, I'm not gonna lie, it sounds boring, but don't leave yet, it is a good game. You feed fish! ... I am really not helping my case here. Well, lets get to it.

Graphics: 8
The graphics are great for 2004. Nowadays, they still look pretty good. The backgrounds are very detailed and beautiful, the different fish are nicely designed, and the bosses ( Yes, you read that correctly. ) are creative and nicely done.

Sounds: 7
The music is nice and cheery, not to mention catchy. The sound... eh. The sound can get annoying sometimes, like the repeated gun blast sounds... gun blast sounds? Yeah, there are guns in this game. This game is full of surprises.

Addictiveness: 8
Now, don't get me wrong feeding fish doesn't sound all that fun, but the game is incredibly addicting. Now, let me explain the basic mechanics of the game. You feed fish, they poop money, (Yeah, I know.) you buy more fish, repeat till you have enough money to buy pieces of the eggs, which unlock pets. Yeah, it sounds weird. But, believe it or not, it gets even weirder. In the next level, you have to protect your fish from aliens coming into your tank through a rip in space time. And no, that wasn't the story. The story, is amazing...

Story: 10
Now, to be fair, this shouldn't be here, cause I don't think there is a story. But, I'm gonna make a story for it, ready? Here we go.
You come from a long line of fish caretakers / breeders. When your grandfather died, he left his fish tank to you. Thanks granddad. But little did you know, these fish were special. They poop money! But intergalactic space aliens from outer space want the money. You arm yourself with a gun and pets, and you get ready for the best fun ever.
Phew. We all need a little time to be silly, right?

Depth: 10
This game has a LOT to offer. Fish, different kinds of fish, different bosses, different weapons, pets to unlock, and different modes.
The different modes include, Challenge mode, Time Trial, Adventure mode (or campaign mode, if you will), And virtual tank. Adventure mode is your basic campaign, as you go along, you unlock different pets, which do a variety of things, including, but not limited to, Fight aliens with you, give money, feed fish, collect money, and give birth? Yeah, that's a thing. Time trial is trying to make as much money as you can in 5 minutes. Challenge mode, if I remember correctly, is trying to complete a normal level, but the prices on things increase over time.
Virtual tank is just that, a virtual tank. You earn shells (the virtual tank currency) through playing Adventure mode, time trial, and challenge mode. You also get shells from your virtual tank fish. You buy Virtual tank fish with shells. And if you want to get some quick shells, here is a tip. Take a normal fish, buy it, and name it Santa. When you do that, you will get a fully grown fish that is white and red, sings Christmas carols, and drops 20 shells. Pretty cool.

Difficulty: 7
Like all good games, the difficulty has a learning curve. The farther in you get in to it, it gets harder. But this game gets hard. And I mean HARD. This game will chew you up, spit you out, insult your mother, insult your father, and yeah its actually not that hard. Its very tedious though. It can get hard though.

Overall: 8
This game is good. You should definitely try it out. If you hate fish though, whats wrong with you?

Man, I feel like this dragged on a little.
I hope you guys liked this review, because i sure love writing them.

You did a pretty good job on this one. Its not as long as I personally like reviews to be, but the length is good and there's a ton of details thrown around in there. I have never played this game, but from the looks of it, it can be pretty decent. Keep up with writing these, who knows, maybe you can make the next one even better.

Oh, I'm definitely gonna try to make the next one better. But that's for tomorrow. I'm gonna try to make 1 review a day, or at least every 3 days.

bazboyd : Nice review you did there, and a catchy title for it, I might add. I really liked the humor you threw in there. Don't feel bad about it dragging on. My reviews are usually close to a thousand words and are not nearly as interesting as yours was. Mine are usually dull and boring. Yours actually made me read it the whole way through!

FaithFighter : Thanks, that means a lot to me. I love writing these reviews, and i love the responses too.

Well as the others have already said, this was a good review, and I'd say your best work yet. I always love it when a reviewer uses humor and makes their point without dragging out every single detail (I've seen levels dissected to the point where we were talking about extremely insignificant and pointless details). The humor gives a nice break from reading facts, and makes the review hold attention. Nicely done.

Good job with the review, man. Keep on improving your style always. I'm impressed.

Awesome! My review got featured! Sweet!

Did you just call for me?

I think that this is an above average game review since I feel like some sections aren't described well enough to me.

At first when I read this game review and you said a fish feeding game, I was about to leave but I continued to read your game review. I like how you add on what is special about this game. Not many people actually talk about a game's gameplay and special parts of the game. When you described a little more about the gameplay, I am a bit interested in this game especially when it's a type of game that I usually play. This reminds me a little like Harvest Moon with its money making skills except this is based on fishes in a fish tank.

I love how you ended your overall section though! You made a good impression on me. Props to you man!

Power to the fish for the win!

bazboyd : Hey, i love reading reviews and making them, so yeah, keep it up. That said, the most interesting part, the aliens - you kind of gloss over. You say there's no story - but .. what?? And the addictiveness you kind poke fun at the simplicity of feeding and buying fish - but really, thats all it took to get you hooked? Is it seeing them in the aquarium? What is it that really got you into the game (for me i think it would be aliens)?

endings : Yeah, its the fish feeding. The aliens are pretty cool, but the fish. The fish are the best part.
