Game review: Pipe Mania

PSP, £19.99, cert 3+, Razorworks/Empire Interactive

Pipe Mania is much as it ever was on the Amiga, a manic puzzler that's arguably just as addictive as Tetris. At first glance, not much has changed; as the liquid flows, you build a pipeline to carry it - easy at first, but soon a frantic test of logic and thumb control. And over the 300+ levels and seven themed worlds, other improvements emerge - leak-tanks and reservoirs to use to your advantage, rival plumbers to get in your way or add an occasional helping hand. Pipe Mania won't win any prizes for looks and the soundtrack's incredibly annoying, but it's charming retro fun and the PSP's easily the best handheld version.
