Game Review: Gorilla Gondola

February 6, 2012 | By andrewbares

This game should be an Xbox Live title!

Overall Score: 5/5

If you want a fun, challenging, and fresh game, check out Gorilla Gondola!

Gameplay: 5/5

Despite the extremely simple controls, there is so much to this game! All you can do is jump and stomp with your character and slightly tilt him from side to side. Using that, you have to figure out how to navigate through obstacles, collect bananas, avoid bombs, and kill enemies. That means you have to think ahead and plan out your route quickly before you do anything! That makes the gameplay extremely exciting, since you probably have never played anything similar to this before. There is also an excellent variation of obstacles and enemies, and the game even has power-ups. Continue reading →
