GameZebo: Archeology is basically glamour central as far as jobs go. Sweaty, glistening, short-shorts wearing archeologists get to spend all day digging up fossils, building theme parks based on their findings, and then traipsing about with pseudo-scientific recreations of long-extinct creatures. Or maybe that’s just paleontologists, since Dig! presents another side of the archeology coin: one where a bumbling connoisseur of the past must shovel through layer upon layer of unprofitable dirt to save his failing museum.
Triverse writes, "Avoiding the mummy, Nigel, and other creatures is key here. One touch and they have you- game over. There are even octopus like tentacles that appear in later levels to thwart your efforts. Clearing the level only requires 75% of the level to be dug up."
Featuring a familiar game style and numerous attempts at humor, Dig! simply doesn’t do enough to stand out from the pack.
AppSpy: It's Qix combined with setting up an archaeological dig in your backyard, all the while avoiding mummies and moles. With better controls and some balancing, this could be quite enjoyable.
