Description:

Bricks is a building block program, similar to certain plastic blocks we parents pay too much for and step on a lot! There are two versions of Bricks on the disk - one for adults (older kids) and one for kids. One difference between the two is that the adult option offers animations, but can file share with the Kid's version. The Adult version also offers to print parts list and step-by-step instructions.

Notes:

This title was slow to load, so the requirements may be a bit understated, but once the program was underway, the blocks click into place with a very nice "feel." Gryphon has done a great job of bringing Bricks to life with none of the cleanup necessary.

Features:

Over 300 different brick styles, 12 colors, easy click-and-drag interface, character pieces, backgrounds, print parts lists, animate, view from 4 different angles and includes over 100 examples. This title was a lot of fun to play with on a rainy afternoon.
