You'd think this game is a bit on the easy and unchallenging side; I mean all it asks of you is to move tiles around so as to match two tiles with the same design so as to clear them out of the level. However, there are a couple of ways that this is going to prove harder than a first look might suggest. For starters, you can only move the boxes left or right. Also, the boxes are trapped inside certain shaped mazes, so, in order to clear the entire array of crates, you are going to have to figure out which crates need to go first, how to move certain crates even if apparently they are blocker or isolated. So, yeah, it's going to be one of those games that will bake your noodle and put you up some interesting mental gymnastics. Graphically, Brix (1992 version) is delivered in clean 2D graphics, with beautiful backgrounds and with a lot of challenging puzzles. What I would have liked was for the pictograms on the crates to be more diverse, more easily recognizable, but that's not the case. So pay attention to the game, make sure you don't move the brix that you don't want to move (!) and have a similar challenge game around, say, Diamond Balls 3 if Brix won't cut it for you!
