Pros
Pro Unique and beautiful visual style that stands all on its own
World of Goo is pleasing to look at. Most of the time it's very colorful and joyful, but it changes from time to time to reflect different parts of the world. Nevertheless, it is stylistically well presented throughout the game.
Pro Entertaining story thanks to a twisted tale with some philosophical messages sprinkled in
As you start playing, there doesn't seem to be much of a story. A few philosophical messages left behind by the Sign Painter and a cut-scene here or there. But as you progress through the game, you unearth different details about a slightly disturbing world.
Pro The core of the gameplay uses an excellent physics engine, which gives a pretty realistic feeling when interacting with the structures
Physics in-game take into account gravity, wind, weight of different goo-balls, structural integrity of your architectural solutions to create an addictive, "let me try this one more time"-type of gameplay.

Flagged Pros + Cons
Con Sound can't be turned off in-game
World of Goo sadly does not have an option to turn off in game music. This would be ideal for those that would like to listen to their own music while still retaining the sound effects of the game.
