Chesshousers
While the idea is interesting, the execution leaves a lot to be desired. First of all, the isometric 2D/3D view makes viewing the pieces very difficult, and you will often confuse one type of piece for another. The interface is cumbersome, and frustrating - you cannot even save the game at any time you want, but only after making a certain number of moves (restoring, therefore, often means you need to redo part of the puzzle). Fortunately, there are "teletransporters" which can transport the hand to a different position in the labyrinth, but they are few and far between. The level design is also boring - they are far too similar to each other, and there is no new element or surprise to cheer you up after you play the first dozen levels or so. All in all, a neat idea that could have been realized much better by a far better level designer. A wasted opportunity.
