Prism: Light the Way Review

The music is repetitive, and the graphics verge on dismal. But is Prism FUN? Absolutely!

The premise of Prism: Light the Way for Nintendo DS is simple. The Glowbos desperately need light, and they’re picky – they can only use their own colour. The Bulboids have arrived bearing light, but they’re not quite smart enough to get the job done. You and your stylus must save the day. All you need to do is arrange the supplied mirrors and prisms so all the light is delivered properly!


Don’t be fooled by the ease of the first levels of the main puzzle mode. They quickly become more and more challenging; you’ll be glad they’re not timed. Solving the more difficult ones can burn a good deal of brain power. You may even be reduced to rounds of trial and error. Thankfully, hints are provided for the first 40 levels – for the last 80, you’re on your own.

There is a timed mode, as well as several others, including competitive or co-operative multiplayer.

You may not play this game for hours on end, but you will find yourself coming back to it again and again whenever you need a fix!
