The puzzle game Zoo Keeper was a launch title for the Nintendo DS in North America. Its creators have teamed up again to bring a more action oriented over from Japan: Tornado. Bearing similarities to Katamari Damacy, players must guide a tornado around town picking up objects and completing tasks.
From the review: "In Tornado, you play as cats who create, you guessed it, tornadoes. These cats are a part of the Cleanup Crew, who use tornadoes to clean up stuff and fling it into space.. A mysterious person, known only as Prince, used his Black Hole Device to steal everything on Earth and transported it to Planet 69. And since they were working on Earth, he also ended up transporting the Cleanup Crew too."
In Tornado you set out to restore all of Earth's buildings, vehicles, inhabitants and other obscure objects that have been stolen by the envious Prince using his mischievous "Black Hole Device."
With a pack of cool characters, multiplayer challenges and a fun twist on gaming action, Tornado has potential. Unfortunately, a fistfull of frustrating issues knock the A+ fun-factor out of it, but once you get the hang of things it's a decent game that can get you hooked. Plus, riding a tornado through downtown and sending buildings flying as you pitch lightning at King Kong = awesome!
