Magnetic Shaving Derby Reviews – Page 3

overflowing with style, but takes a while to get the hang of

pedantic driver

This is the third time I've written a review for this game. The first time I had just bought it and was so frustrated simply moving the magnet around that I didn't see where the fun was. I gave it a generous three stars. When I wrote the second review--four stars--I had gotten past that, but the game still didn't click for me. Now I'm giving it a legitimate five stars. There's an underlying method to the randomness. The way all the game elements tie into the central concept is flat-out brilliant. If the screenshots make you smile, just buy it, but give yourself time to adjust. Oh there are flaws: trimming hairs near the screen edges is maddening; reverse polarity is nigh impossible to control; I accidentally hit pause 5+ times per play (usually when reverse polarity is active); hairs grow back too quickly in classic mode. But it's still brilliant. Definitely worth the $2.
