System Mania Game Review

Quite unique, this latest time management game from Pi Eye Games is creating a lot of interest from the gaming community, with some declaring System Mania the best time management game idea to come along in a long time.

We here do take our hats off the the developers for giving us something fresh, something that is fun and certainly takes many hours of concentrated, yet light hearted, gameplay to finish. With some 80 levels and several playing modes, System Mania is the most different game we have yet played.

You play as a fix-it shop owner who specializes in fixing wacky machinery. Have you ever heard of a Penguin Distracter or Theoretical Hoover with cranks, pulleys and wheels of all shapes and sizes to keep working correctly or they blow up. Your job is to get them chugging away smoothly and to push red warning lights, dial in secret switchboard codes or pushed sliders up and down to keep them running. Ah, it's all in a good days work.

There are mini games to break the monotony of frantic clicking and many different ways to keep machines chugging along, such as plucking guitar strings or pulling ripcords, with bonuses awarded for making chains and combos.

The main game frame is played in story mode with 6 different characters giving at times helpful and humorous advice. Arcade mode allows you to play for points in each level and new levels are attained when you reach a goal. You can play for trophies or push a "tricky" button to speed the game up and play faster. Now you will be clicking rapidly.

Overall System Mania is a fresh approach to casual games and as such deserves that you give this one a try. You won't be disappointed yet some may find the frantic clicking a little overwhelming after some time. System Mania rates a 4 from 5 from us here and something that we consider very worthwhile and good value.
