"Jenga World Tour" is a video game published by Atari, which is based on the popular Jenga game. It uses the standard gameplay of Jenga, but gives it slight tweaks in order to create different scenarios.

Development

The game was first announced by Atari on July 6, 2007. [Atari (July 6, 2007). [http://www.gamespot.com/wii/puzzle/jenga/news.html?sid=6173691 Atari Announces Jenga Edge-of-your-seat Video Gaming Fun] . GameSpot. Retrieved on November 7, 2007.] After previewing the game themselves in July of 2007, GameSpot reported, "... we're not convinced that the finished game will be nearly as much fun as 54 wooden bricks."Calvert, Justin (November 5, 2007). [http://www.gamespot.com/wii/puzzle/jenga/news.html?sid=6182336 Jenga World Tour Hands-On] . GameSpot. Retrieved on November 7, 2007.]

Gameplay

"Jenga World Tour" uses the common Jenga gameplay ("see the Jenga article for more details on the original game"), but adds different changes to the game. Some of the scenarios that were added include a Nepal "ice" level which makes blocks harder to grip, a Chinese "vine" level which prevents some blocks from being moved, and a prehistoric Zambian jungle level where dinosaurs shake the tower so much as to make it fall. This aspect of the game has been criticized by reviewers since.IGN (January 28, 2008). [http://wii.ign.com/articles/847/847965p1.html Jenga: World Tour Review] . IGN. Retrieved on January 30, 2008.] Banks, Cory (January 24, 2008). [http://www.gameshark.com/reviews/2908/Jenga-World-Tour.htm Jenga World Tour Review] . GameShark. Retrieved on January 30, 2008.] Navarro, Alex (December 22, 2008). [http://www.gamespot.com/wii/puzzle/jenga/review.html] . GameSpot. Retrieved on January 30, 2008.]

Reception

"Jenga World Tour" was universally panned by critics for its awful physics system and rip-off price. IGN gave the game a 1.7 of 10, saying, "We can't believe we're even listing off reasons not to buy a game based on a $10 box of blocks." GameShark gave the game a D- and reported that "... the game is an affront to everything good." GameSpot gave the game a 2.0 (terrible) rating out of ten, and stated, "Putting Jenga underwater does not make it worth twice the cost of regular Jenga." It also received a dubious honor nomination at GameSpot for "Flat-Out Worst Game of 2007". [GameSpot. [http://www.gamespot.com/best-of/dubioushonors/index.html?page=5 GameSpot's Best of 2007: Flat-Out Worst Game] . GameSpot. Retrieved on January 30, 2008.]

GamePro listed Jenga World Tour as number 5 of Top Ten worst games of 2007 featuring the CD of Jenga being thrown against the wall of a building destroyed by Controlled demolition.
