Is It Any Good?
WordUs2 (which, as far as we can tell, has a superfluous number at the end) is a love it or hate it game. It's full of puzzles that can confound, stump, and aggravate you one minute, and fill you with a sense of euphoria the next. With a Spartan, efficient design, it's an easy game to learn to play -- and if you're the type of person who lives for word puzzles, it will delight you. But be warned that if you're just a casual fan of the word games genre, the in-game dictionary can be full of baffling omissions (despite its claim of containing thousands of words) that can turn fun into frustration. In either case, it's a great time-killer, potential vocabulary builder, and certainly has the potential to chew up several hours.
