Rainbow Brite Game Review

Rainbow Brite.Com released a game called “Rainbow Rescue”, in the game you complete puzzles and collect “Star Sprinkles” at the end of each level.

In this game the "Dark Princess" has stolen and hidden 6 color crystals around Rainbow Land in 6 different puzzle games.  It is your job to find each crystal by solving the puzzles and help Rainbow Brite restore color and order to Rainbow Land.

The games are fun, colorful, energetic and really make you think. I loved each puzzle, as they challenged my memory, focus, and were so different it kept me from becoming bored. The music changing for each level was also a welcome change. Other games that seem to beat their themes in your ears until you are sick of hearing them. The music in this game was fresh and up beat making me humm along with each level. I must admit, I found myself playing it often, and challenging my previous scores!

If you haven't played it yet, I hope you do! Go to RainbowBrite.Com and check it out!

 

Over all Game Score: 4 out of 5 Stars

Challenging, but short. Would love to have seen more character interactions and story plot.
