This game is not as easy as it may seem. Just when I think I've drilled close to the bottom, I get smashed by a block! Fun, addictive play.

4.0 out of 5 stars Drill some more?
Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2005
Addiction. That's what makes puzzle games good and all. And Mr. Driller drills the addiction up finely. Because it's in the arcade, quarters and quarters will be taken up for this game if you're a puzzle nut like me...and believe me, the action will soon get intense.

Gameplay: 9/10

Mr. Driller is a puzzle game, but that doesn't mean it has shallow gameplay. The object of the game is to obtain as many points as possible by drilling blocks, while still having enough air to go all the way down the "mine". The air is a challenge, and if you drill a block underneath another block, the block may crash down and effectively crush you to death. Therefore, carefulness and caution is key in this puzzler (as it is with almost all puzzlers).

Graphics: 10/10

Hey, it's a puzzler. Which doesn't usually have graphics to its merit, but Mr. Driller serves up excellent graphics. In fact, Mr. Driller's cel-shaded-like graphics are very fluid, and not blocky like a few other arcade games. The action of the blocks and the points appearing are also nice, and I actually think the eyes of Mr. Driller as he dies is actually pretty amusing to see, if not also frustrating for the high-leveled player with one life left. The drills of Mr. Driller are glinting, and everything is very colorful and smooth.

Sound/Music: 8/10

Although most of the time arcade- or puzzle- tunes or sounds don't get stuck in my head (the exception being Tetris), I can clearly hear the sounds of Mr. Driller drilling as I type. The music is wavy and bright, and all the sounds, like the blocks falling, the burst of Mr. Driller's drill, and grabbing items like air capsules are very clear and distinct. Although the sound and music does not entirely shock you and make you gasp for breath, the tunes do their job and they are finely made.

Replay Value: 9/10

Drilling up blocks is actually very enjoyable, and I for one like it a lot. However, I declare that once you get to mid-high levels (such as 20 or so) you probably will decide to stop using up your time and play something else instead. Even so, the replay value is very high and everyone should give it a chance...a big one.

Overall: 9/10

Mr. Driller is a great puzzler - one of the best I've seen. I think some newer puzzlers (such as ZooCube) don't really live up to the "creed of puzzlers" - addictive, yet a tad challenging as well. However, Mr. Driller lives up greatly to this statement of belief, and it will always have a place in the puzzling realm of puzzle games.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great fun without much thought
Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2005
Some games are complex - and some are just fun! Drill Spirits is great puzzle fun in the Tetris theme - but with more of a dig dug sort of problem.

In essence you start at the top of a pile of bricks. You drill your way down them, looking for air, watching the blocks explode if they match up with similar colored blocks. Some levels are easy, with lots of similar blocks to vanish for you. Other levels are far more complicated, with more colors to manage.

Levels can replayed many times, learning their layout so that you get through them as quickly as possible. With the dual screen, you can keep track of what block piles are up above you as you drill your way down.

This is a great game for quick playing as you wait in line - you don't have to think a lot about what you are doing, but it is very capitvating. So many studies have shown that keeping your brain exercised helps it stay healthy that I would highly recommend this game for anyone from age 5 to 105. It's easy to understand how to play - but it can be challenging for anybody. There are many levels of difficulty as well as a 'shop' to buy new items.

Highly recommended for any DS owner!

3.0 out of 5 stars Namco sends over a neutered driller
Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2005
Fans of Mr. Driller in North America should be used to getting shafted by now. Drill Spirits is the first driller game to come this way since the Dreamcast and Gameboy Color games, and a good one it is too. Pressure mode gives you an actual boss to fight, and Mission Driller is classic Mr. Driller.

But for some reason, we are getting only about 60% of the game (though we pay 100% of the price) The concurrent Japanese version contains an additional mode, called Doristone Mode that gives a totally new angle to the gameplay, it is slower moving and more puzzle like, very unique and fun to play. Mission Driller adds a 2000M Moon level with modified graphics and special power ups. The game supports single card multiplayer (in America every player needs a card), and there are apparently more unlocable characters in the game (though I've yet to find them).

Anyway, all that stuff is absent from the American version; the import would run around $40-$50 dollars; so if you can't afford that, and don't mind getting the ripoff version of the game, this cart is the way to go.

The game itself is excellent, fast paced and fun. It's just too bad it's not all here. And the reason for the short shrift we're getting is just inscrutable. So um, bite me Namco.

Pretty Bland. If you are a fan of the series maybe you'll like it. I was looking for an action puzzle game and although it can be called one, it really doesn't move far from "dig and dodge" (lost interest almost immediately). Bust-A-Move is WAAAYYY better, Great single and multiplayer.

Also, Besides having to navigate the silly story, "Trauma Center: Under the Knife" is great fun and has definite action puzzle roots. Try out those two instead.

Very addicting game ...
Ha Arcadie feels ...
I've seen it compared to dig dug but in truth it's soewhat nearer to Boulder Dash.

You can find it for a fiver or less and at that money it's not a bad add to a DS collecton.

I plan to play it a good deal more as it is simple and pretty fun to play.

Happy gaming folks!

Game was not very good - it would be good for children around 5-10 years old, but was over very quickly and very repetative.
