Jenga World Tour is a 2007 video game based on the popular Jenga game that was developed by Atomic Planet Entertainment and published by Atari, and released for the Nintendo DS and the Wii. It uses the standard gameplay of Jenga, but gives it slight tweaks in order to create different scenarios.
Jenga World Tour uses the gameplay of the game Jenga, but different levels have different environmental factors that change how the game is played, such as a prehistoric Zambian jungle level where dinosaurs shake the tower as to make it fall.[1] Some of the scenarios that were added include a Nepal "ice" level which makes blocks harder to grip, and a Chinese "vine" level which prevents some blocks from being moved.[1] This aspect of the game has been criticized by reviewers since.[2]
Development
The game was first announced by Atari on July 6, 2007,[3] and a prototype of the Wii version was later exhibited at E3 2007.[4][5] After previewing the game themselves in July 2007, GameSpot reported, "... we're not convinced that the finished game will be nearly as much fun as 54 wooden bricks."[1]
